Yesterday was incredibly hot so I decided to go swimming at the pool with hubby and Riley. Riley's parents were out for the day as it was my daugheters Brooke and Biancas 29th Birthday which coincides with Melboourne Cup Day in certain years, so whilst they were both out with their partners celebrating we had Riley.
We went to Botany Big Splash and Riley had a blast making every effort to stay there. He did not want to leave and who could blame him in that heat but eventually talked him into it by bribing with icecream. It was a fun afternoon but why is it that when you spend the afternoon swimming it is exhausting.
I had hoped to go swimming today but as usual our seasons over the last few years have been topsy turvy and the weather turned overcast and not as hot with a few brief showers throughout the day.
Koories come in all colours
I know I'm a Koori
I've learned it from my kin
But sometimes I'm questioned
On the colour of my skin.
I'm questioned on this by both
Black and White
My culture and identity are my legal right.
My Aboriginality
I've searched for so long
But the doubts of others
Make it hard to belong.
If you wouldn't make judgments
On just what you see
Then, maybe by chance
You'll see the real me.
