Anzac Day
Today is Anzac Day, so it’s a public holiday here in au. I kind of wish I’d gotten up for the dawn service– it’s been years [like 20+] since I went to one, and I think a bit of quiet remembrance is the best way to commemorate the fallen. Unlike the march held later in the day, which [when televised] is about as moving as a cricket match. Now a dawn march would be pretty effective I think– a time so liminal that it might just be possible to catch a glimpse of another era, when hundreds of thousands marched to war…
Funny, I was going to write a bunch of crap about blogrolls and stuff in this entry, but suddenly it all seems so insignificant.
I think I’ll attend dawn services next year.
