tricking family to come to me
Goooddd Moorrniiinnngg 🙂This is where I was having my morning walk earlier today. Super tired when I woke up at 5:30 though. I always think after I drop Ambrose off, that I’m going to drive back home and go back to bed. But this is the road I pass so there is absolutely no way I am going to sleep after this view.
Left on my To Do List is:Find a workout/Yoga
Picking up Dry cleaning
Finding a place to fix the windshield on our car
Order contacts
Cancel Physio appointment
Finish “Evidence of Joint Travel”
Upload Evidence of contact during separation”
Ask Kelly, Nour and Kali for invitations for the Partner Visa
Clean the carIts more work to NOT have a job! Jeezzus.
Anyway, sitting now with our cousin group chat planing for 2 of my cousins to come and visit us in Australia. So happy! I wonder if I should book them on maybe AirBnb or if they should stay with us in the house. Its enough rooms at the house but if they are just here for 2-3 weeks it might be a bit far from the city? Not essentially the distance but more the crazy traffic Sydney has.Well back to our Visa. Leonards stat dec is done. I sent one this morning to the lovely Tim & Mia who said they would happily help us out. Think I’m going to finish the “Evidence of Joint Travel” today so better get to it…
Almost forgot! Today I am sitting at a place called: “Gnostic Mana Cafe”. We have been going here for years now because Gabe, Ambrose dad likes this place ( we think its because he is a regular here and they treat him like a celebrity here 🙂 )
What I would say about this place? Well on the plus side: Its cozy, they have free wifi, the staff are nice, they have a good variety of food and drinks on their menu, open for breakfast and lunch (no dinner) no extra charge for almond/soy milk or/and if you like to swap something on your dish. kids friendly, good outdoor seating and their bathrooms are clean. Also an open kitchen which I like and free books/magazines to read.
On the less positive side: can get quite busy and noisy. it has happened a few times that they have messed up my order, but overall for me its a 3* out of 5*
Have a nice day.

Partner visa
Photography by Hanie Valadi – hanievaladiphotography.comI have been organizing our Partner Visa since around 6:45 this morning. About 2 weeks ago we got notified by the Immi people that they have started to look at out application ( happiness!) and that we now have 7 weeks to give them the last part of the evidence. One is ” show evidence of joint invitations”. Because we lost all of our invitations we are now sending out stat declarations to a few of our friends where they can write that we were invited to their wedding or birthday etc. We thought to get from the Keebles wedding, Plain wedding and also Bart and Lenni´s 30th.
We finnished a couple of things they asked for. “10 photographs of us” and “evidence of contact during separation”. So happy to see that Partner Visa in my hands!!
Its raining which makes it feel good enough to sit inside and take care of all this. Ive been to 3 different coffee shops, the library and the Office store. Then I bought some sugar free gummy bears that made me feel so sick I had to rush home. Stupid candy….
Watched a movie alone in bed, which is something I never do, Daddy´s Home with Mark Wahlberg. Its was okey. And as I was lying in bed with candles and was starting to feel a bit better, the roof of our bedroom started leaking and water stared pouring down my side of the bed!
Now, hot shower and if I can, some dinner. I made a chicken pot with salad.Todays recomendation: lunch at “Galley on Masons”. Looks like a cozy, small beach house. They have nice food, a terrace, wifi and great staff. Breakfast, lunch and dinner menus.

Checking of the list…..
Monday morning and I am checking of things from my “To do List”! Luckily I am getting help and advice from Nick & Leonard this morning. Nicks mum is a nurse so she will be our witness on the stat dec to prove that I was invited to Leonard´s 30th birthday, 3 years ago. I’m also having Tim and Mia filling one in as proof of joint invitation for their wedding 2 years ago. Finally the Keeble´s wedding last year. That should cover “evidence of Joint Invitations”.
Ive been sitting at “This little piggy” all morning, so now some lunch before Leonard picks me up for my Physio appointment. I promised myself I will have most of this VISA stuff done by the end of this day.______________________________________________

Sunrise at Umina Beach
Good Morning!
After dropping Ambrose off at the station this morning, I drove by myself ( proud 🙂 ) to Umina beach. After a long walk I sat at the cafe´with my coffee and read articles about our subconscious mind. This stuff is fascinating! To me there is not more that captures my interest. If I could, I would study and work in this area for sure.
Anyway, got a little lost on the drive back but home now and going to make lunch.Ohhhhh aaaannnndd after being the grumpiest last night, we got an email that we have been assigned an Visa person. I imagine this lovely, kind person to be an angel looking beauty hahhaha. So thankful that this is happening now!
Boos

Crossing oceans
Dear Diary,
Every time I’m forgetting exactly how long this journey is! The plane left Arlanda at 6:30, then Düsseldorf ( Germany is really growing on my more and more ) and then Abu Dhabi. The best was that there was absolutely no line at customs in Sydney. They did lose my luggage though. So now Im at Ambrose parents home, waiting for them to bring my luggage._____________________________________________________________________________

Booked!
Of all the tickets I booked over the years, this one took forever! But then I realized, its because its a move and not just a flight. And the return flight, well lets just say I ticked a box in late 2017…dont even know which date I piceked because it doesn’t really matter any longer.
After a extremely chaotic morning with taxi not arriving, showing the apartment to some nice people, I decided to just stay on the couch and rest. Tomorrow morning I have to visit the Dr. Im sick of being sick!! its been over a week now. -
The art of flying across the world comfortably
Spent the day looking at tickets back home. Maybe it sounds nice to just have one direct flight from London to Sydney, but Ive actually done this. In reality just remembering spending 22 hours and 30 min in an airplane makes me feel like someone is choking me to death hahaha
I fell asleep on the couch for maybe half an hour, which something I never do. When I woke up I felt like I have been in a boxing fight, pain in my body and sore throat and stiff neck. Damn it!
And in the middle of this, I had to drive all the way to Sigtuna to pick up Samira´s car. Anyway, Now healthy pancakes at 10pm! -
no more tests my love…..
The feeling waking up to receive THIS email!
Thank you beautiful and kind immigration people 🙂 🙂
