Happy (late) Australia Day!

Not that I ever usually celebrate Australia Day at all — it’s really just a useful public holiday. This year it’s a bit different because I’m overseas, and the thought of something with Australia-related themes is actually vaguely appealing… James bought Pete and I cans of Fosters (which of course is Australian only by marketing these days — brewed in Scotland!), which was nice; and yesterday evening we went to a pub near Southwark tube that was having some sort of an Ernst and Young related Australia Day celebration — Christie (and Andy) being the link there. It was packed! They’d already run out of VB by the time we got there, but there was loud Australian music playing. Sort of just like being at home! (Except that I wouldn’t actually do much on Australia Day, as I said before…)
