Happy Australia Day, Jan 26, 2012!!http://home.earthlink.net/~sal.pal/s...tures/whee.gif

Which, also, just happens to be My Birthday!!!:D

I'm ever so sorry that I missed this thread. Don't know how I managed, but I did. So sorry Sal.... after you were nice enough to wish me a nice day. Please forgive me. :o

I had such a great day. The weather was nice so we went to a big event on the beach near me. DH and I got there early so we started with a BBQ breakfast down there ...yum! We watched the beach volleyball, some beach cricket and then the triathalon.... no! I did not join in :D

There were lots of different races in the water and on the beach, treasure hunts, a sandcastle building competition (with some fabulous entries), and lots and lots more to do. There were musicians performing during the morning and later there was a concert. There were boat races and exhibitions by the life savers. Naturally there were lots of food vans, and drink vans but I was very good and not tempted by all that fattening food. :Halo:

So that's what I did to celebrate. I had a great time but I was very tired and a bit sun burnt (on the bits I missed with the sunscreen :rolleyes: ) when I got home.

Thank you again for thinking of me Sal ... I hope you had a wonderful birthday. :hug:
... and thank you to Dej, Wiz and Jappy as well. :grouphug:

Koala, those are the sweetest little birdies in your garden..:):)

There are aren't they? We are very lucky.

Those birds are beautiful! We never get colorful birds like that here. I think the prettiest ones I've seen here are the bluebirds.

Hubby and I love having the birds come to our garden to feed. We have planted 2 new trees especially for them, and we keep food out at all times. We get a number of pretty ones visit, the most colourful being those Rainbow Lorakeets in my signature and the beautiful but shy Eastern Rosella, which is pictured below. I even bought a new camera so we could take better photos of them. :)
