ANZAC Day - Monday 25th April 2011 - Day 70

Ahh! 10 weeks into my latest quit campaign and I'm going strong, doubly so on this day that we commemorate the sacrifices made by servicemen of our great land.  I will however admit that it feels a bit weird to celebrate ANZAC Day, and not have a beer or two.  It almost feels a little un-Australian.......but then again, I think we could all agree, that as a nation we might be able to tone down our drinking just a little bit haha......but then again..........

All is well in my world Friends. After keeping a duty on the gangway yesterday/last night, we handed over to the oncoming watch this morning, and then had a gunfire breakfast at the AWE Club.  You've got to love a breakfast of vegemite scrolls, bacon and egg muffins and ANZAC biscuits cooked by our outstanding ship's cooks.

Sadly (for my love handles, but happily for my belly) the gunfire breakfast was my second breakfast (as my friend Braz pointed out, I feel like such a Hobbit), so there will need to be a fair bit of exercise to justify that little feeding frenzy.

Well, it's just a matter of paying homage with the 3 min silence at 1100, and then off to Sentosa Island with Lizzy and Co for today.  It should be a nice relaxed day, and hopefully I'll remember to take some photos and post them tonight for you guys to look at.  Oh the Ego involved in assuming you all want a glimpse into my life haha.

Ok, I'll let you all in peace for now.  I hope you're all having a great ANZAC Day and if you're around an RSL, try to have a chat to an old digger, they usually have some good stories to tell.

Have a great day Friends.
