Canada Day
I managed to survive my first Canada Day away from the greatest nation on earth. Turns out there's plenty of Canadians in Australia and even in Alice Springs.
Spent most of the afternoon sitting in the backyard listening to the Hip drinking beer (sadly nothing Canadian, had to settle for some XXXX Bitter) and prepping for a tasty BBQ.
After that we lit off some firecrackers which can only be bought on two days of the year here. Luckily, Territory Day coincides with 
Canada Day so there was lots of explosive fun to be heard round the town.
Of course, having booked off the night in advance I had to pop in to Bo's for a bit to celebrate and to meet up with some 'jolie filles de la belle province' that I'd met earlier in the Todd Mall. Much dancing and meeting fellow canucks left, right and center was the name of the game with a loudly, and most likely off-tune O Canada sung as well.
I'd have to consider it a success! Not close to a good day in the Byward market and Parliament Hill, but the best that could be done with the situation at hand.
Happy Canada Day to all those back home.
