It was Australia Day yesterday. I don't really care about holidays much, any excuse to go out and have fun is enough for me. Anyway, I spent most of the day at home working on a fanart of Eruruu, which I'll post up when I'm done typing here.
I just hate the heat, being summer Down Under, it was roughly 40 degrees Celcius. Heat makes me irritated. So my mum, my sister and I headed to the beach to swim and see fireworks.
We left at around 8pm, and boy was finding a parking space a hassle. Cars everywhere, but we eventually found a spot on the road island. Some cars parked in the sand and got stuck.
Not only was finding a parking space difficult, finding an empty spot to sit in was hard, the beach and grass area were packed full of people. Apparently some of the shops in the area ran out of food and drink to sell.
By the time we got settled down, it was pretty dark, around 9pm. So I couldn't really go for a swim, although there were other people still swimming, even at 10pm, I'm just too afraid to enter the water when it's dark, I mean, what if I step on a rock or something?
Before the fireworks started, lightning could be seen, so I worried that it might rain, but it didn't, thank goodness. Lightning plus fireworks makes a very interesting sky show. My mum brought rice, fried chicken wings, biscuits, salmon dip, and watermelon. It was pretty fun, much better than staying inside a hot house.
Heading home, the police had to help direct traffic due to the sheer amount of cars trying to head home at the same time. We managed to get home at around 11pm. Because I didn't get to swim, I might go to the beach again today if it's really hot.
