Happy Mother's Day 2023 from Downunder?🌍🤶🎕🌏

Not all countries around the world celebrate Mother's Day today, but a lot do, like my home country Australia, not to mention Hong Kong ... if that's even considered a country anymore?

At least Taiwan still is;-)

It is celebrated on different days in many parts of the world,
most commonly in the months of March or May

Oddly enough, I was sitting at home eating breakfast on Sunday morning while watching my country Australia competing in Europe for Eurovision 2023.

performances finish

Ironically, Australia's 2016 runner up, Dami Im lives literally up the road from me and is now a mother, probably sitting at home watching it on TV, too:-)

Third time placing 9th for Australia

Sweden won it for 2023, which is ironic, because there is also an IKEA store just the other side of the freeway from my home (I for one should know that:-) and ABBA won the Eurovision almost 50 years ago now.

The Real Horror of Red Hook?

Do it yourself flat-packed flower arranging?-)

IKEbanA

I wonder if the Eurovision realize that Australia is a continent, just like Europe is?-)
