I've only just read Tuesday's newspaper (British writer, British newspaper) and I came across this in relation to the café siege. It is referring to the Aussie phrase 'she'll be right' and how good can come of bad."That is the true Australian character. It is an unquenchable spirit and an undefeatable one. Nothing can stop Australia when it decides to do something. Nothing will stop the country healing itself."
Thought you'd like to know what we Brits think! Inspirational.
Mod
Thanks so much for sharing that Anna..much appreciated:)
To be fair we also coined the phrase "S**t on a stick", so we're a tad schizophrenic.

Thanks Brenda and Carolyn and thanks Anna for sharing that from Britain about Aussies.
Well a Merry bloody Christmas to me. I started getting a sore throat last Friday and it has developed into something that the doctor felt she needed to prescribe me a course antibiotics. ugh, stupid summer flu bug. I hope the rest of you guys stay healthy for the big day! Take care of yourselves! But hey, on the bright side: bed rest= more book reading time so yay!
Mod
Positive thinking Kiera! You'll be much better by Christmas Day - antibiotics will fix you:)
Everyone I've been so slack/busy with any kind of response or joining in here.. and I will be on holidays for a month so will only be worse probably. My laptop is no longer working and I couldn't ask for a new one at this time of year on top of all the kids stuff could I?! On the upside I will read a lot. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season with lots of family time, good things and whatever makes you a happy person at this time of year ;)

A very yummy gourmet BBQ with a range of salads followed by Chocolate Mousse birthday cake (and the odd glass of vino). His friends had a ball and went on to a night club afterwards.
Will post a photo (once I get home and work out how!)
