Had a good weekend with Mum around Cambridge. We traded sewing and bike repair tips.

How do you celebrate Independence Day in your country?

I saw this as a "writer's block" blogging prompt on Livejournal. At first I was shocked: wasn't that just rampant American-centrism? And then I thought, was that just my own English-centrism?

England has never really become independent of anywhere, except perhaps the Roman Empire, but I don't think that has a good story and authoritative date attached (?)

But is it reasonable to assume that most countries have (at least one) independence day? And that its named and commemorated in a similar manner to America? Wikipedia has quite a comprehensive list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_independence_days) which covers surprisingly many countries (with some number of notable exceptions, UK, Russia, China, Australia[1]...)

I'll take Mr Fell on the fell for $10

The horse raced past; the barn fell.
The horse, raced past the barn, fell.
The horse raced past the barn demonic.
The horse raced past the the cleared highland (the one with the barn on, not the other one).
The horse raced past the barn, Fell.
