Happy Easter!

Humorous PicturesThe traditions of Easter are pretty much lost on me. I spent a large part of Good Friday cleaning out my kitchen followed by a roast lamb dinner on a bed of risotto which had been in the slow cooker most of the day while I cleaned. Whoops. And as for Easter Saturday, we went to Bunnings to get some nails and tap washers and found they were giving out free Hot Cross buns to munch on while you wander through the store. A mate rocked up in the afternoon, obviously as lost as to what to do as we were, so we had an impromptu BBQ without a fish in sight.

Today is supposed to be the day that the Easter bunny visits but why? I don’t understand. The egg thing kind of makes sense because from eggs, little chickens are born so the egg symbolises renewal in the rebirth of Christ I’m guessing. But who was the moron who came up with the Easter bunny? The only eggs that an Easter bunny would produce are indeed chocolate in colour but you wouldn’t want to eat them. So why didn’t they have the Easter chicken dropping in on the Sunday? That would have made much more sense.

Happy Easter anyway, enjoy the chocolate, seafood, DIY jobs and whatever else you choose to do with your long weekend. And for those that are wondering, Bunnings is open again tomorrow so there’s no excuse for not fixing that fence, repainting that wall, cleaning that tile grouting or rejuvenating that backyard. You might as well do something to work off all that chocolate. :P
