I think we can safely say it's now officially summer in Adelaide now. Christmas day was a beautiful 34 degrees as was Christmas eve. It also looks set to be a hot NYE at 40 degrees, wow this actually wasn't supposed to be a weather report.. just some random thoughts. Anyway, I hope whoever is this reading this.. thats you :).. had a fabulous Christmas and you also have an awesome year next year. 2011 wow. It feels like just the other day it was the year 2000 and we were celebrating the start of a new millennium. I remember getting a special new millennium coin at primary school in the year 2000, it was exciting I guess to be alive for the start of that. I wonder if the people in the year 1900 were just as excited, to celebrate a new year lets take a look at what happened in the year 1911..
Significant events in 1911 were:
Northern Territory seperated from South Australia.
The first successful sea plane was flown by Glen H. Curtiss.
The first official flight with air mail took place.
Revolution in Mexico.
International Women's Day was celebrated for the first time, wooo go girls!
The New York City Public Library was opened.
George V is crowned king of England.
The Mona Lisa was stolen by a Louvre employee, guessing they got caught then? ;)
Chevrolet officially entered the automobile market.
First use of aircraft in war.
The capital of Italy shifted to New Delhi.
First expedition reaches the South Pole.
So 1911 was a very successful year. Let's hope 2011 can be too!
I think everyone wishes for a great year when NYE comes around, I certainly will be.
I wish that not one of my family or friends has to spend any of 2011 in hospital, me included because I've been in there a bit lately. I hope that our world developes and works towards new, brilliant and truly amazing things. I hope the leaders of our world/country make the right choices, towards making our world a better place. I hope I learn, experience and try different things. I really just hope its an awesome year for everyone in general. So Happy 2011! And have a fabulous New Years celebration :)!
