Well that’s it for another weekend dear reader. As those of you who have ever had much to do with Australia may know (and hey we have some Aussie readers, morning comrades), 21st December is Gravy Day (it’s also the birthday of my best Aussie friend Roz Dorrington up on the Gold Coast – Happy birthday Roz!) Gravy Day began with a 1996 song called “How To Make Gravy” by Australian singer-songwriter Paul Kelly. Its lyrics tell a fictional tale of a man in jail writing to his family about longing to be with them at Christmas and that letter is penned on 21st December – a date that, in real life, has been deemed increasingly worth celebrating. The song has even likened to an Australian Christmas carol but with fewer muppets. We’re always happy to have an excuse to feature Paul Kelly on AUK so happy gravy day to each and everyone of you. Go and have some gravy to celebrate.
We’ll be back on Monday for our final day of posting this year which will include the results of this year’s readers poll if you can contain your excitement until then. In the meantime please do support your local Palestine events if you can do, and if you can’t attend something please consider donating to charities like MAP supporting them through this terrible period in their history. Take care and have a good one.
