And in that spirit of Australian generosity we've all come to love, you're giving your unused rain quota to us for the weekend.....

Just in case you were busy, here's what you missed. Sorry there is no song to go with it.

First, sorry to have been absent for a while - mum hospitalised and I've been busy.

So what does this have to do with Oz I hear you say?

Well, she is in Harefield Hospital and she is in (wait for it!) the ANZAC wing.

The site was first used as a hospital in the First World War when an Aussie ex-pat offered his house and land as a place to treat wounded Australian and New Zealand soldiers. The place grew and grew from there and was eventually bought by the British government and turned into a full-time hospital.

ANZAC day is commemorated here every year and at the local church in Harefield. Never knew that connection till now. Thanks Aussies
