It stared with a power outage and no
water in the pipes. But is that really important when you have good mates and
cold beer?
Wearing red and blue (like our flag) I rode my bike to
work, arriving late to ensure I was in true Aussie spirit. Teaching ‘G’day’ to
my colleagues showed me their proper use of pronunciation when the best I could
get out of them was ‘Good Day’. Ghanaian greetings always have a response, so
when asked what our response is, it was natural to reply ‘maaaaaate’ (as opposed to saying 'nnaaaaaa' in Dagbani). So that
was fun.
My colleagues wore the Australian flag apron that Kat gave me, I advised everyone we don’t eat guinea fowl to celebrate, but usually throw a "shrimp on the barbie", and I took it upon myself to have a cold beer at lunch, but found the local restaurant only serves soft drinks! Then reclining to my office later to write personal emails and click around the internet, I enjoyed my very first Australia Day at work.

Drinks after work at the local Spot, a few good yarns, and it was a ripper of a day!
