ANZAC DAY

ANZAC Day – 25 April – is probably Australia's most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces quickly became known as ANZACs, and the pride they soon took in that name endures to this day.

The Last Post is played at an Anzac Day ceremony in Port Melbourne, Victoria, 25 April 2005. Ceremonies like this are held in virtually every suburb and town in Australia and New Zealand on Anzac Day each year.

Easter

It's the small things that count when you have been feeling blue. I haven't had the energy to post for a while. My contract at work was coming to an end, knew I'd be laid off then at the last minute was offered a months work at another campus and hopefully more to follow :) In the meantime have spent two weeks coughing my lungs out with a head cold.
Today I received this email and it made my day and I doubt Nita realizes how much so I will share it with you. I know it's more or less like a chain letter but sometimes they touch your heart when you need it.



There comes a point in your life when you realize:
Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won't anymore...
And who always will..
So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future..
Give these flowers to everyone you don't want to lose in 2009

thanks Nita, you're a beautiful lady with a warm heart.
