But they call it 'Veterans Day' here. I think it was a Public Holiday, but I haven't tried to go to a bank or post office, so I am not sure.
My activity for the day has centred on making biscuits, or what they call 'cookies' for the Wednesday meal this evening. I was surprised when I got there and found that practically every member of the church seemed to be there, so there wouldn't have been enough biscuits to go round, although I thought I'd made quite a few, the recipe said it did 5 dozen. Everyone attending the 8 o'clock and the 10 o'clock services had been exhorted to attend, there was a lot of work to be done in the parish hall, sorting things out - but I reckon when one is pushing 80 one gets a pass, and I sloped off after the meal.
Normally, I have about 4 or 5 followers reading this. I don't know what has happened lately, my readership in the last few days seems to have shot up - there were 18 yesterday!!! I can't even think of 18 people who would want to read it. And I am sure it hasn't been my insightful reporting of the political scene, ha ha.
112 years ago yesterday, a woman was granted a patent on windscreen wipers. And nobody thought they would catch on!
