Thanks champion @Suzie-Q - everyone just has to love Fairy Bread Day.
Who doesn't remember that delicious treat from our childhood, and all the memories that flow back as well.
(But there's another day today that I'm about to nominate, and it couldn't be further apart from your sweet delicacy..... 😉)

November 24
National Sardines Day is celebrated 24 November.
Small but mighty, these little fish are packed with omega-3 fatty acids and are a tasty addition to salads, pastas, and more.
Sardine Day is your opportunity to learn about these little fish and how you may already have been enjoying them without knowing.
Sardines originally got their name from the Mediterranean Island of Sardinia. A large number of nutrients found in this fish, combined with the efficacy with which they could be packaged and shipped, turned them into an important trade item in this Italian region for centuries.
Sardines are used in many dishes and are closely related to the anchovies that are served with Caesar Salad and as a base flavour in Worcestershire sauce.
Today, we can enjoy sardines on their own maybe, with crackers, or as an ingredient in various yummy dishes.
Like, today the celebratory plan would be to try today (or at least the next time you eat at an Italian restaurant) the Pasta con le Sarde (pasta with sardines). This recipe combines the rich flavour of sardines with ingredients like fennel, raisins, and pine nuts for a unique and balanced meal. Or Sardine Caprese Panini; or Sardine Caesar Salad with Croutons; or maybe even, Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Sardine Toasts Each a classic!
Maybe even eat your sardines at home: Simple preparations include serving them on crackers or toast, mashing them into a spread, or adding them to salads, sandwiches, and pasta. For a warm meal, pan-fry them with garlic and onions or fold them into scrambled eggs.
The bottom line is, however you choose to eat this delicious fish, everyone’s a winner.
And when you’ve had your fill, you can know that beyond the yumminess, this fish is so good for you. Sardines are a great source of protein, omega-3s, vitamin D, iron, and calcium.
Regularly eating the tiny fish can help improve your cholesterol levels, protect against heart disease, nourish your skin, and regulate your gut.
Did I mention that sardine-eating winners are healthier grinners?
"Fitting In Is For Sardines”
"Think Outside the Tin."
“You’re never too small to make a difference."
"Celebrate your uniqueness as fiercely as a sardine in the sea."

25 November
International Hat Day falls every November 25th.
Today is a special day to wear your favourite hat or simply to learn more about its history. Hats have been worn as uniforms, fashion accessories, and protective gear for millennia
The slouch hat, so immortalized by our Diggers, is an object strongly associated with our Australian identity. It is is an iconic Australian military headdress, officially adopted by the Australian Army in 1903 and a symbol of the nation.
Characterized by its sloping brim, it's traditionally made of fur felt and worn with a puggaree (a coloured hatband). Originally, the right side of the brim was looped up, but the left side became the standard to prevent the brim from getting caught on rifles during parades.
These days, the most popular country hat is the Akubra Cattleman, this timeless hat suitable for everybody.
These days, we Aussies love our headwear in all its various shapes and styles to a point now, both as a protection from direct sunlight to purely fashion statements, we might be seen in bucket hats, baseball hats, beanies, cowboy hats – the range is open to individual choice.
Of course, for the discerning rugby league fan, nothing tops the range of Wests Tigers caps, proudly worn for their amazing colours, comfort and practicality – not to mention wearing your team's cap is a powerful way to display identity, unity, and support, serving both practical and social functions for players and fans alike.
Generally, hat options available are as large as any clothing brand. There are shoes, shirts, trousers, jeans – each selectively worn to satisfy choice – then there’s the hats.
Nowadays, the big sellers in hats are invariably brand names. Media advertising means millions in revenue to the big players in hat manufacture, but it’s best to always remember that, whatever hat we might choose, we are in Australia and here we need to be sun safe, as sun exposure can cause significant damage to our skin.
And hats are popular with everyone, men and women both. Men might chose theirs for playing sport for the benefit of sun-protection and better vision, or caps or others even for formal occasions.
On the other hand, ladies can be practical too, for all the pursuits that modern casual and sporting lifestyles require. When ladies choose hats, they also factor in their part of “the look” they wish, as a stylish accessory that adds to an outfit, with recent trends including wide-brimmed sun hats, bucket hats, and even cowboy-inspired styles becoming popular for both urban and rural fashion.
Whatever hat we choose, be as bold and out there as you want, but be practical and the core in this great southern land is protection from the sun especially.
"Whenever you wear your hat, your day will be special"
"Hats change everything"
"Hang onto your hat."
"Hats have power. Hats can change you into someone else"
