Meleah – hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Travelrat – I agree with you, Australia Day is fun. And it is so nice to be able to give thanks. I’m not sure if we do it enough.

David – what a fantastic idea. I would be all for it!

daoine – you are so lucky to have rosellas in your garden. They are the cutest little things, aren’t they? I saw a group of galahs (or is it a flock) in the park the other day, tame as anything. They are so cute and chubby they are almost like cartoon characters. I really love Australian birds and I am so glad to see them coming back to the city!

Depserate writer – my sister emailed me and said her Thanksgiving feast was divine. I was so jealous and dreamed of turkey all weekend.

tesco – thanks so much for stopping by. The pie was absolutely delicious. I was surprised it turned out so well because my crust is usually, well, a bit crusty. By the way, I have visited your blog before and am a bit of a fan. I am a huge Queens of the Stone Age nut. There is a show here called Later with Jools and Josh Homme was on it with PJ Harvey doing one of the Desert Sessions songs. It was brilliant!

“Birdsong in the morning.” – Birdsong all day long. I’ve just been in the garden at nearly 5pm doing some much needed weeding and the rosellas were singing to me. In fact, not just the song, those rosellas are a really good part of my life – I watch them come to our feeder each morning and they are such characters too. The cutest is when they hold a seed in one foot and nibble on it. And then they forget that they’re doing that and look around with the foot still in the air. And they chatter and chuckle at each other. Just gorgeous.

Chocolate, I agree. Definitely on my list.

Perhaps we should start up a campaign and petition to have an Aussie thanks giving day.. perhaps a thankssgiving/sorry day.

We really need something in Britain at this time of year, if only to prevent Christmas starting too early! We use to have something called Empire Day, until Empire became a dirty word.

Australia Day, I liked! I was at the big parade in Adelaide in 2006, and it rocked! (40 years ago, you’d never have used ‘Adelaide’ and ‘rocked’ in the same sentence )

desperatewriter – Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

Paisley – it is my pleasure. Hope you’re having a good time!

tball – you do get used to the soy, believe it or not. I’ve tried the lactose free milk but I do prefer the soy. Years ago before soy became really popular you had to mix it up from a powder. So gross!That was the period I now refer to as ‘the dark ages’ when I was forced to eat my breakfast cereal dry.

Good to hear from you!

Well here in Canada we do Thanksgiving in October…anyways Happy American Thanksgiving (LOL). I couldn’t help laugh that you are thankful for soy milk – don’t you guys have Lactaid Milk in Australia or lactose free milk? I drink that and my friends drink it too when they come over and they tell me it tastes like regular milk except abit sweeter. All I can say soy milk – yuck ( I tried it once and didn’t like how it tasted).

Me too I’m thankful for chocolate and daydreaming…
