A Quiet Day for Anzac Day

Another Anzac Day, and the weather was just superb. While I was awake with the sparrows, mostly thanks to the crying dog, Helen didn't stir until 9.30am. Think she needed the sleep.

With the kids playing nicely, Helen decided to get out and do some gardening and also give the kids cubby house a lick of paint, and nail the mailbox back up again.

Meanwhile, I was taking apart the swing set, for its relocation to the local tip. It's had its time, and we need the space for soccer, cricket, golf and totem tennis.  :)

I then decided to head into the Metal Cavern to watch the Anzac Day footy. Unfortunately, with both computers now in there, I was joined by three noisy children, who wanted to play on their computer at the PRECISE time I wanted to go in there and hide. No matter, they were good, and even sat with me for the minute's silence and the Last Post before both the AFL and NRL games.

Bad news all round from that point on, as Essendon belted the Pies by 46 points at the MCG, and the Roosters did the same to the Dragons by 22 points at the SFS.
