Not Coping

[Birdofparadise8]

Neither do I @creative_writer 

As I grew up, my opinion changed.

A nice get together here on Friday @creative_writer , @Birdofparadise8 , @tyme xx

[Birdofparadise8]

I'll bring the carrot cake cupcakes @Shaz51 @tyme @creative_writer

I suspect writing is a bit like the ride bicycle theory.  You'll wake one day and just start pedalling .

I hope you cash in your bbq invitation,  @ENKELI .   If you don't like it you can leave at any time,

but who knows,  you may just meet a smiling face and have a little fun.   Take care Enkeli.              

Hope everyone is,   glass half full.                                                                                                tonys.

@Birdofparadise8, I didn’t really give it much thought as a kid but I have never celebrated it, it was never my thing. We just took it as just a public holiday. My opinion against it grew strong once I became older

[Birdofparadise8]

I think my family did and still does, but as you said, it's just a public holiday now @creative_writer. 

It's all very complicated.

Hello @lavenderhaze 

Nice to meet you. I hear your new. 

@creative_writer @Shaz51 @ENKELI

Hello @lavenderhaze 🙂

[tonys]

Well good on you  @creative_writer .  It takes courage to plant you flag and state your view.  I respect that.

Wish I was a little more proactive about things.   I never know what day Australia day is until  penalty

pay rates remind me.    Think minority groups are a plaything of politicians and all I can do is ensure I don't reward their  divisive,  devious ,  flirtations at the ballet  box..   

   I tip my hat to you creative writer.       Mmm beds 

looking good .  .  .   tonys

@tonys I think I'll take up @Birdofparadise8 offer - we can be alone together! I'll make the sausage rolls and party pies!!
We have always celebrated it as an important day in Australian history. We would get together and have a barbie, make party pies and sausage rolls, lamingtons and pav. 

I guess I just have to get used to not having the people who used to be in my life around anymore, even though it hurts so bad. I miss my Godchildren desperately 😢
