So that's it! Another long week-end finished and now it's a long wait 'till March for another one "Labour Day" public holiday! The ironic part is that shops never shut; the owners simply moan about paying double wage rates and reduce the number of staff accordingly.
Very quiet here today! Surprised to learn from my Chinese nurse (Shanghai) that fireworks are banned, in major cities at least, in China. Same here, except for certain major public displays. Lots of debate about the wisdom of letting the (famous) Sydney Harbour Bridge New Year's display take place at the height of the bush-fire crisis Fortunately no damage done apart from the nerves of those of nervous disposition.
Talking of nervous dispositions, I notice an apparent increase in the number of new posters disappearing right after being welcomed. Or is my imagination at fault? Even the "rats" seem to have abandoned ship all of a sudden. Surely S.S. Gransnet is not about to go under!?
Have a good day!

How do you acknowledge Easter.
