G'day mate

This week was Australia Day.  Since we were hungover-ed out from Burn's Night, and the juxtaposition of two quite different nations two days in a row was too much (even for us), today our FridayDateNight is for our friend's down under.

Always odd on Facebook when my Australian mates post how warm it is and how they're eating dinner at breakfast time.  They're so crazy.

I would like to visit sometime, but it's so far and you'd have to go for a couple of weeks to make the most of the getting used to time zone thang.  It's on the list though.

The future is 2012

Not that I am obsessed with the past (our round up for 2011 last time) or future, but this week we're looking forward to the coming year.

Is everything going to get more gloomy and economically depressing?  Will things buck up?  It's fabulous to not have any idea what's going to happen.  Scary, sure, but fabulous.

On the food side, he could be inspired by destinations we are planning to go to, or events going on next year.  On the music side the plan is to look at what new music will be out there.
