Default Australia Day 2012 - Whats everyone up to?

Happy Australia Day to one and all!!


What's everyone planning on getting up to today/tonight?

Please don't forget that if your drinking, don't drive... You may think your alright, but after a few drinks, you could possibly kill someone if you get behind the wheel...

Not much, have a big couple of big days ahead so thought I would take a day to chill out. Weather isn't any good for stuff like the beach or boating (which some of my friends are planning to do- not a great idea IMO!) anyway. Might see if my parents want to go out for lunch or something. Just chilling with my cat at the moment anyway

I went to the AFF meetup in Albury. It was great meeting loads of new people and putting names to faces.
And now...some beer I think!
