That's Tank, Sue.  he always looks a little mournful. He's my serious dog.  Hope you had a wonderful day.  Many happy returns.

Thanks so much for the beautiful wishes, Min. My problem won't be having lots of games to play but rather having the time to play them! But, with health, love and peace maybe I'll find the time to start getting through my loooooooooooooong list of games waiting to be played.

Happy Birthday,  Stusue!  And pardon my Yankee ignorance,  but what is Vegemite?  I must say,  it sounds awful.

sandhan, firstly, thanks for the birthday wishes!

Vegemite is something that Australia is famous for but it's definitely an acquired taste. It's a disgusting-looking, stinky, thick black paste that we have on bread like peanut butter. But it's also great on toast with fried egg, amongst other things. We also use it as flavouring in things like stews, as it has a very strong flavour and is very salty. It's also the food with the highest amount of Vitamin B in the world. It's made from yeast but is so strong and disgusting that you really have to learn to eat it as a kid - Aussie kids are weaned on Vegemite soldiers (thin strips of toast with Vegemite on them), although maybe not so much these days as Australia has become so multicultural. The only people I know who have actually liked it as adults are Asians as they're used to very strong, salty foods. But Aussies can't live without it and often travel with it. Hotels in Asia where lots of Aussies stay have it on every breakfast table in the dining room.
