Always a mixed day for this family:
The happy: it's my son's birthday so we went for lunch at the Hog's Breath cafe and it was, as always, very nice, not to mention fairly cheap.
The sombre: afterwards, we walked down to the Mandurah War Memorial and I said my words for the dead. I talked to my children about what it was we remembered today but how do you explain those kinds of lives to people whose toughest experience to date is waiting an extra 5 minutes in the queue because MacDonald's is busy? I try, any way.
( Because a picture really is better than a thousand words. )
