I forget to take it every time I go anywhere!<br \/>\nFirst off, we had a local election today, so we had to go out and vote. Elections are always held on a Saturday in Australia, and it is mandatory for everyone over the age of 18 to vote, or you get fined. In addition, every year our neighbourhood holds a big street festival around this time, and today was the day. The school we vote at is in the main street, right in the midst of the festival so we killed two birds with one stone, and had a look about. Not alot to talk about, it&#8217;s mainly geared towards the kids and the teens, lots of toys and showbags and silly hats, performers and the like.  Then we headed out to the lolly factory to buy our Easter eggs. \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nI&#8217;m rather fond of the lolly factory. \ud83d\ude09 Bought too much chocolate, then came home for the afternoon.<br \/>\nEm&#8217;s birthday is on Thursday, and we always go out for dinner on birthdays. She&#8217;s at camp for school from Monday morning until Wednesday afternoon, and she has dance lessons on Wednesday and Thursday nights, and it&#8217;s Easter next weekend, so we went out to dinner tonight. She chose Lonestar Steakhouse, so off we went, and had a delicious dinner, and they brought her out a chocolate brownie with icecream and sparklers, and sang Happy Birthday to her, so she was pretty chuffed. Came home just in time for Fireworks at the street festival, of which we had a wonderful view from our front yard. I took some photos, but they ain&#8217;t great.<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fireworks2.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/fireworks2.jpg\" width=\"398\" height=\"299\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fireworks4.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/fireworks4.jpg\" width=\"398\" height=\"299\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fireworks5.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/fireworks5.jpg\" width=\"398\" height=\"299\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nWe told Em that the festival is held in honour of her Birthday. At the end of the fireworks she said &#8220;See how special I am?&#8221;<br \/>\nGotta love that kid \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nSo you&#8217;ll all understand why there&#8217;s been little or no knitting going on, I&#8217;m sure.
