Wattle It Be?

Today is Wattle Day in Australia.
A day for Australians to show their patriotism for their country by wearing a sprig of the national floral emblem.

According to sources on the web wattle is also known as mimosa.

A Mimosa cocktail is made with champagne and fresh orange juice and most recipes also state a dash of Grand Marnier or triple sec.

Now when I read about this I thought 'hold on a minute I thought that was a Bucks Fizz.'
On doing some further research I found out that a mimosa is made with equal parts champagne and orange juice where as a Bucks Fizz is two parts champagne to one part orange juice.
So now you know.

This evening I have gone for the non alcoholic version and mine contains fizzy lemon and lime and orange juice.

I say mine as it is just me here enjoying a glass tonight.
S is staying with Grandma after having a wonderful day out at Longleat.
G is on a late shift and won't be in for another couple of hours yet.
T isn't here either as yesterday he moved out to live with his boyfriend.
Big news that!
He has been incredibly excited these past few days and very proudly showed us around their flat last night in all it's moving in day chaos.
Huge mixed emotions (for all of us) as I'm sure you can imagine.

If that wasn't enough here is what else is in store for the month of September.
My list so far, which will probably see a couple of changes.
