Anastasia & Leonards´ Birthday Celebrations
Saturday we all drove to Frazer Island and had a birthday picnic for Anastasia. I knew absolutely non one except Ambros’s friend Robbie, whom I met last year. Such a fun day, wish I had some pictures of the crystal clear coral blue water! As you maybe can see from the picture, 90 % were surfers so half the party spent most of the time in the water of course.
Then Sunday we started the day with a drive to Pearl Beach for breakfast. I had smashed avocado, beetroot cured salmon, poached egg and greens. Again, LOVE breakfast in this country! Then we met up with the rest of the family to celebrate Anastasia & Leonard. We had a really good lunch at The Entrance Lake House. If your ever in the area, have a walk around, there seems to be alot of good places and its really pretty.

Our Weekend
Its Sunday morning and we just came home from breakfast at Pearl beach. A quick rest at home before heading to birthday lunch for Anastasia and Leonard at the Entrance. Here are some pictures from our weekend containing alot of birthdays. On Friday I was invited to lady’s lunch at the club in Etalong by aunt Rey. Ambrose´s mum Deborah used to go with all the ladies so I was excited to go and see what ut was all about. But aunt Rey had somehow misunderstood that the time was changed to 6:30 PM so we were all by our self at the club. We decided to bring in some oysters and a plate of squid and just enjoy the lunch anyways. She even got me to gamble a bit ( I am normaly against gambling ) and we actually won 100 dollars! After lunch I took the train into the City to have some drinks at a bear garden in Surry Hills, walked along to the new park with some famous architecture design building ( I never remember what the names are ) before dumplings for dinner with Nick and Leonard. We had Messina for dessert. Oh how Ive missed there ice cream!! I tried almost all there new flavors but in the end, like always (!) I get Salted caramel & Mango and poached figs & Amaretto._______________________________________________________

Melbourne Cup
So yesterday was Melbourne Cup here in Australia which is apparently a big thing. I don’t have alot of pictures, honestly because we all were having such an great night! The evening did not end well though. I don’t even want to write about it. I really don’t understand why this happens and I honestly don’t know if if was all my fought.Today I got back home after drooping Ambrose at the station and I just slept away this day. Tried out the fitnes place in the afternoon. Thats about it for this day. Oh, I’m starting Drama School!

Sunday with the new foal
Today we ( I ) woke up way too late so no much time to just relax around the house in the morning before we had to leave. We went shopping for birthday presents, had a quick sushi roll for lunch and then drove to Chrissi and Thage´s farm to see the latest addition to the family. Leonard´s foal. Such a pretty boy with long beautiful legs!

Wedding day :)
My latest recomendation. If you are in Rhodes have stop at “Lid & Jar” . Super friendly staff, nice breakfast, free wifi and not expensive. And afterwards go to the asian grocery store just next to Lid & Jar.
Went to mine, Hanie and Jasmins sushi train place in the city. Not as nice as when I had them there…
This is the UNBELIEVABLE unromantic place where we registered our relationship. Our “priest” was called Augustus, just like my fav character from Disney and I laughed the whole time we were there because the whole thing felt so bizarre. 🙂
I don’t know what these tree´s are called but I think they look so nice with their purple flowers.
Registration dinner was at a this great Greek restaurant called “Xenos” on Burlington St in Crows Nest. Ambrose had the Crackling Pork Belly and I had the mousaka with greek salad. Both really delisious. This place has outdoor settings, great vibe, and a decent vine list. Its cosy and the staff were nice as well as their prices. I especially liked their bar setting and the open kitchen. The only thing missing was the greek music which would make the ambiance too much more authentic in my wiew. Also the fact that they had stupid TV screens!!? Such a turnoff when restaurants have that. We are already planing to go back to have their specialty; pork with scallops. The table next to us were having it and we got jealous. Good to remember is that their portions are quite big so don’t order too much. Overall, Im super glad this was where we had our registration dinner 🙂

nursing
hello hello,
We have both mean home today since Ambrose got food poising since last night. Me and his dad drove like 2 car chiefs to an night open pharmacy last night to get him some medicine and something to help his dehydration. So just to get him to not be bored and actually want to stay home and rest, we drove in and rented three movies. First we watched a New Zealand movie called Hunt for theWilder-people”, really good movie, I can recommend it. and then we watched “Room” which was about a mother and her 5 year old son Jack who were captivated and locked in a room by a man. The mother had been there for 7 years! It was terrifying watching it because we both could not get it out of our head that there are people right now that are in those situations in real life. Again, good movie, liked hunt for the wilderpeople more though.
The pictures from the two short moments we got outside to get some fresh air. Of course there were good surf and Ambrose was jealous.Looked at my flowers! I always make sure to have fresh flowers in my home, no mather where I lived. These are Dragon Lilies and they smell sooo good. Everyone should get fresh flowers for their home, they really bright up a room more than anything. At least to me. Okey, now back to nursing my dehydrated little pumpkin 🙂

Monday´s
I usually love Mondays, new fresh start, beginnings, energized and rested (sometimes at least 🙂 ) from the weekend etc. But not today. This Monday is just filled with a kind of restless, unease feeling. Like I cant figure out what to do with myself, where to go, where to start.
Just came home for lunch after having a coffee and finishing at least one part for our Partner Visa. I did not finish anything, I did not even open it.
The restaurant I was planing to sit at and do some work is apparently not open today. I was suppose to organize a canvas painting with aunt Lee´ and she is not even picking up the phone. I thought I was starting my training today but nope…
Just one of those days when you don’t feel like doing anything. And even though we usually tend to get really anxious when we have a lot to do but our body and mind just wont do those things. I think that’s just exactly what we should do then – nothing at all.This is a picture Ambrose took of me this weekend while we went to a park to see if we could climb some threes. We both are a big fan of Fig threes, those with giant trunks and roots, and this park had a lot of them.

Family Time
One day its sunny and the next its raining like crazy! Not easy to plan ahead here at the moment. But we have just been going to the beach as much as we can so Ambrose can surf (and be happy haha) and then we have been hanging out with the family mostly. Today we all had breakfast at our favorite place, little piggy and then after checking the surf we all drove to see Xavier for rest of the afternoon. Just want to take him home with us every time I see him. Best kid in town!We are super tired and cold because of the constant weather change, so now Gabe made a fire and we are going to watch a movie “The Power of One”.
