Monday Mural - Anzac tribute & Easter weekend

On Thursday 25th April Australians celebrate "Anzac Day", and since I'm also Portuguese,  the "Carnation Revolution" has also been celebrated on the 25th of April since 1974.

A couple of months ago I spotted a mural honouring the Anzacs that had been painted on the wall of a building that houses the local RSL (The Returned and Services League, Australia is a support organisation for men and women who have served or are serving in the Defence Force) on High Road in Riverton, and I thought it would be appropriate to post it now.

If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you;
just follow the Linky steps below.   Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters.  Looking forward to your mural finds this week.  

Thanks, Sami.

Hope you all  had a wonderful Easter and enjoyed the mini break if you were lucky enough to enjoy a public holiday on Friday and Monday like I did.

Jose arrived from Sydney on Thursday evening (18th) and will leave on Sunday (28th).

On Saturday 20th we joined friends in Fremantle (port city of Perth) for a late afternoon session of a French movie - "The trouble with you" (En Liberté) - one of the films from the 2019 Alliance French Film Festival,  and afterwards we went for coffee and cake.

                          

I'm no night owl, and was surprised to see Fremantle's Cappuccino Strip was abuzz with people walking around, restaurants were packed, a lot of street entertainment...

On the way to the Coffee shop we stopped to watch a couple performing fire dancing and then dancing with some sort of light sticks. Very entertaining and exciting.

 

It was about 10,30 when we arrived home and I had to tell Jose a secret I've been keeping for a couple of weeks...

Our daughter Karina was flying from the Philippines to come and spend 10 days with us and would be arriving at 1am (Easter Sunday). 

Had she arrived during the day I could have told him I was going shopping and arrive home with her, but at 1am my only excuse would be to tell him I was going to the disco our the Casino...which I don't go to 😄😄. 

Karina had suggested she could take a taxi, but I preferred to fetch her, and the airport is only a 20 min drive away

He was very happy that his Princess was coming to spend a few days in Perth, and managed to stay awake.

I had invited 2 couples for Easter Sunday lunch at 1,30pm so it would give us time to sleep in after such a late night.

My son, daughter in law and babies came later at 3 pm to allow for kids sleep, and we ended the afternoon with coffee and cake.

All in all a wonderful weekend!
