Today is Anzac Day and people are generally off work. it is observed on 25th April each year and it was originally to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli against the Ottoman Empire during World War I. There is usually a dawn service but these days none of the soldiers from the first World War are alive to participate of course.
You can buy Anzac biscuits in the shops; it is an oatmeal and sometimes coconut biscuit that was originally baked and sent out to the troops during the war. I quite like them and they are very easy to make.
Hubby is in the kitchen cooking away. It gives me great pleasure to see. He has really taken to it, and sometimes he starts planning lunch already when we get up, asking me what I would like for lunch!! I'll have to put his name down for MKR if this continues. Don't get me wrong here, I am enjoying it and I hope it's not just a fad. I am thinking of buying him a proper chef's hat like Pascal's below. He is the chef at Chez Pascal where we had dinner a while ago.
Time to go and do chores. Bye for now!
PS I know I mentioned that we went out for a meal last week with our niece and here is a photo from that.

My nephew has returned to Sweden and soon we will go there too, only a month left. I think he realised how big this country is after having spent a whole day on the train to get to Broken Hill (he likes trains). It is really worth flying if you are planning on doing big distances here in Australia. It is just so big. Here is a map showing just that.
We didn't buy the house that we so liked in the end. The time frame didn't work out since we are leaving and the owners couldn't move out immediately. Anyway, something else will turn up I hope.
This means that we can't really have people over, not to this warehouse (we still haven't unpacked). So we are opting for having a few people come for dinner at a restaurant. Last weekend we had a test lunch at one that we hadn't been to before, just for fun. It was great apart for the steep staircase that you had to get down (and then up). So I think we are back to our fave in Wollongong.
