Formula 1

So now it is time for Formula 1 in Melbourne. Dinos appartment is just next to the race track and he has a terrass on the roof so you have a perfect view over the track. So ofcourse everybody came to him to see the race. We had a BBQ and watch the game. Dino had also put a big tv screen outside so you could watch the diffrent team closely. When the cars started the noise was unbeliveble. Jensen Button the Australian won so that was extra fun for Melbourne.

Lukas the hippie

This is how handsome Lukas was when he was dressed as a hippie ready to leave to his friend Cassy's sweet 16 party. My old disco scarf from last year turned into a perfect head band this year. They were around 20 people at the party and had a great time. Lukas and a couple of other people spent the night at Cassy's house. A very tired lukas was picked up the next day.

Anders in Sydney

Anders got up really early this morning to catch a flight to sydney where he had to go to a convention. It was excelent weather there which was good because there was alot of walking. There was also a beautiful sun set there before he had to catch his flight back later at night.

Pias birthday

You can always wish it was the number on the table that is my new age. Waking up this morning with song, candles, fresh strawberrys, flowers and a lot of presents. Then it was time for traning and today we run 5 km. After our session my nice group of runners took me to a cafe and we had a nice time. Tonight my husband is going to cook a nice meal at home. What more can you wish for on your birthday.

1000 Steps

We have to look around our close area and see what we can offer our guests when they are comming to see us. We got a tip about a park where they have diffrent walks. One of them called "1000 steps". It is 1.5 km upp hill with steps and back. You can really fill it in your legs when you are done. They also have a walk called "Forest walk" we will try that next time.

Try to find the wild kagurus

Somebody told us that you could see wild kagurus near us in a park. Of course we had to go there and see if we could find any and we didn´t. We saw a lot of diffrent birds and rabbits. This parrots you see everywhere and they sound a lot. They have a lot of nice bbq in the park where you can bring your own food and have a picnic.

I reed it in Swedish and it is so good. I have to read it again because I also reed the second and third book so I don´t get comfused when we are going to talk about it. The movie just showing in Sweden now. The second book just came out in english this January 2009. Anders has been away to Shanghai and St. Anton but are comming back this evening. We have really missed him so it´s going to be so nice to have him back. Of course he had a long list of things to bring back from Shanghai and Sweden.

Earthquake

Tonight when Lukas and I was in the rumpus room it felt like somebody drove a bulldozer into our house and the roof was flying off. We just looked at eachother and said did you feel it and what was it?? Lukas was chatting with his friend who was at Philips Island fare away from where we live and he also felt the shake. Later at the evening we watched the news and they said that it has been an earthquake and it was at 4,6. No people was hurt but buildings was shaking a lot all over. It was the biggest shake since 9 years back.

Green Day Today

Today was sports day in school and everyone was in diffrent teams. Our kids were in the same team,the green team. New green cloths were bought as shown in the picture. Jenny even had green nail polish and hair, but it went away when sha went swiming. A hot day spent by the pool; could be worse.

Weekends with Friends

This weekend the kids was busy with new friends. Jenny had her friend Tamara sleeping over. They used the big camera and put it on long legs and used the timer. A lot of pictures and a lot of laught. Lukas friends thought it was time for him to see Melbourne the city so they took him with the tram and went for the whole day. In the evening they took him to a Thai resturant near by were we live and celebrate his birthday. He was very happy and back home around 12pm. Me and Jenny took the car and went for Ikea driving on the left side. I drove and Jenny looked in the map. They have a map book here called Melway. Many times resturants and stores refer to this book and it is so good when you want to find your way. We made it there and back home as we planed. For dinner we had steak and good green salad.
