C Day!

So...just when I had almost forgotten that I had applied for Australian Citizenship 18 long months ago today I finally get an email inviting me to my Citizenship Ceremony on August 26th at 10.00 am. It will take place in the Town Hall at Warwick...I hope I can stand on that central balcony afterwards and wave to the gathered crowds.I am welcome to bring any friends and family along to witness the ceremony.Who's coming?  Anybody?Sigh. I expect it will just be Will.I have to provide a small description about why I am choosing to become an Australian Citizen and why I am settling on the Southern Downs. This will be read out at the Citizenship Ceremony to introduce me.I suppose I can't say I collect passports and I am going for a New Zealand one next. Nor would it be wise to say 'So I can vote out this ridiculous Australian Government and our rotten Mayor'...as she might be there at the Ceremony.I could say ' Well, with Brexit who wouldn't want a 'get out' clause?' As for settling on the Southern Downs I might say 'Well, I was never keen on drinking water or showering for that matter, so it seems like the perfect place!'I promise I will give it more thought.
