Eternal Refuge

Best wishes to all who remembered this morning at dawn.

Normally on a Tuesday morning I go to the gym before work, but on Saturday evening I pulled my calf muscle, just where I tore it 4 years ago ... it is not happy (and neither am I). So this morning I have made some ANZAC biscuits to take to work this afternoon ... my boss is a Kiwi, and seemed stunned I knew what the date was!

I am then popping out to the shops to get some new shoes to wear to the gym, when I started this I only bought plimsolls as I didn't think I would stick at it, but with old ankle and Achilles injuries I need to be sensible.

I will try to both catch up with replies at some point, and get some photos taken of my conservatory, and other work I've had done.

Remembering ANZAC Day .... take a moment and stop to think of the sacrifice of those first ANZACs at Gallipoli, those who have died since, those who continue to suffer ... and those who mourn.

In remeberance of those who climed the cliffs of ANZAC cove in 1915 ... and for those who fought in foreign fields, before and since ... For those who never returned, for those who mourn ... and for those who returned, but are forever changed by their experiences.


They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
