Today is Canberra Day. Canberra Day is a public holiday held on the second Monday of March. The day is meant to celebrate the naming of Canberra as the Australian capital. The first day was on 12 March 1913 and the naming was officiated by Lady Denman the wife of the then Governor-General, Lord Denman.
It worked out well for me. My flight from Brisbane yesterday was delayed and I didn’t get back to my apartment until after sunset. I hadn’t done any washing, ironing, cleaning or grocery shopping. Canberra Day 2016 was like a Saturday. A day to catch up on work e-mail and do some housework.
I managed to get a walk in and some cooking.

I also want to mention that my friend Jennifer from Little Monster Girl webcomic has a new webcomic for special subscribers. It’s about Zela’s summer holidays.
Happy Canberra Dat Gary! I have to admit I had no idea about that holiday but perhaps because we don’t get it as a day off.
Sydney should celebrate Australia Day as it’s own special day and have an extra public holiday 😃
No pie for Pi Day?
But really, that breakfast looks yummy. Simple and delicious!
Actually, I guess you had a meat pie, which is what you guys eat there. I’ll never get used to that one – pie in my mind has to be sweet!
You’re right Sarah I ended up enjoying a meat pie for lunch. It was lamb and rosemary which I enhanced with cheese and chili flakes.
