Can’t have the usual ceremony at the RSL or the Shrine for Remembrance Day, because covid,  but we kept our own vigil at home. Comfort and memory to those who observe.

Congratulations Polish people (and Ran) for your Independence Day!
That is the day you people defeated that huge alien invasion, right?

We were fortunate to hold a commemoration this year (missed Anzac) albeit on Sunday.

Wishes for a fine Polish independence day indeed!

Happy independence day Poland!

Fun fact: in Finnish, independent = itsenäinen and stubborn = itsepäinen (literally ”self-headed”) so we often jokingly say Hyvää itsepäisyyspäivää or Happy Stubborness Day, instead of itsenäisyyspäivää (Independence day)

Happy holidays of choice to everyone!

For us, that is Christmas and I’m happy to tell ours is progressing peacefully into the books and sweets received as gifts phase. I wish everyone gets a little happy pause! And may we all have a better 2021!

Happy whatever-you-like-to-celebrate (even if it's just eating too much!) to everyone. Here's hoping 2021 will be a shot in the arm... literally!  ;D

I have to say (I just need to share this), that our Christmas moved into the new-gotten books as well, for me it was... Stand Still Stay Silent! I received the first two books as a gift this Christmas and they are truly amazing!

Indeed! Happy Holidays!  :'D  :squirrelcookie:
