today

A public holiday in the middle of the week always feels a little strange - I have caught myself a few times thinking regular Sunday afternoon things (Do I have stuff for lunches? Are school uniforms clean? Where is the school newsletter so I can check this week's activities?). But it is Wednesday and none of that matters today.

We had bacon and eggs for breakfast and I doubt we will have lunch. Dinner of lamb shanks are simmering away in the oven waiting for friends to come and join us. Anzac Biscuits are waiting to be eaten at some point. The kids and Michael are visiting their Grandpa. I am cleaning the house and playing music very loud. It is cold outside and the clouds are grey but so far no rain. When they get home Michael and Sam have a date to watch the 3rd Harry Potter movie. Milly and I will go do some other stuff together, we might even have a sleep because the we both still have the edges of a cold. Much later we will go to the War Memorial and talk about what Anzac Day means and take a moment.

A public holiday in the middle of the week - definitely a good kind of strange.

If you are sitting at your computer looking for some escape today - go here. Lisa from A Bloomsbury Life blog has been to London with her husband and son. The third of her posts about the 8 days she spent there make me think we need to have an adventure of our own. Tasmania?
