I enjoyed a day off today to celebrate labour day. Labour day is a public holiday to commemorate the eight hour day as it started in March of 1856. In the 1850's two major campaigns took place for the rights of workers in both Sydney and Melbourne. Melbourne's movement is the one that is widely known for the success that changed general rights of workers for the better. The outcome was 8 hours of work, 8 hours of rest, and 8 hours of recreation. For a list of all the events today you can check

I did not do any of these events. I did some homework. I went shopping. I did some homework. I turned down a bike ride since it's my day off. I did some homework. I made a mexican salad for lunch tomorrow, indian curry for dinner tonight and coffee, fudge, and chocolate chunk ice cream. yummy! And then finished by doing a bit of homework.
The picture is the ice cream plus left over chocolate flan from yesterday
We also have quite a few dishes
