    Fun and unnecessary facts

    One of many lovely lunches we had in south of Europe. Grilled octopus for lunch in a garden in Greece.
    Whats not to love!?

    1. Last person I texted
      All 9 of my cousins, in our group-chat.
    2. Battery percentage
      64% Ambrose bought me a new HTC, so I am not stressed out with bringing my charger with me everywhere all the time any longer. The old phone drove me crazy.
    3. Do I have a crush
      Yes
    4. Nickname
      “Nic”. Thats it! How sad that I have no more nicknames haha.
      In Sweden there is a saying: “Kärt barn har många namn” which means (more or less); “a loved child has many names”. I guess that’s just not me. haha
    5. Night in or go out
      What a hard question. I like both. But if have to choose one, it will be night in.
    6. Last song you listened to
      Photograph
      with Ed Sheeran. I have been listening to it on repeat since yesterday. That how I usually listen to music, I repeat on song over and over until I gag over the thought over it …. a weirdo, I know.
    7. Middle name
      Somaye
    8. Favorite place
      Oh…ehhh. My alone time in the mornings with a cup of black coffee at a cafe’. Anywhere together with Ambrose and my sisters/family. South of Europe. Like small villages in France or Italy is heaven to me.
      And this one might be embarrassing, but if I don’t at least mentioned it I’ll be lying – Restaurants. I just love the atmosphere of friends and family together on a large table with amazing food to share.
      So yes, restaurants. There I said it!
      This choosing only one thing/place might not be my thing…. 🙁
    9. Height
      1.68
    10. Three facts about you
      I start and end my days with thinking and feeling of something that makes me happy.
      Drinking from a cup/glass that is wet on the outside is something I find disgusting (don’t know why)
      I have lived in 7 different countries. Persia, Germany, Yugoslavia, Sweden, France, Spain and now Australia.

    Beautiful Australia

    Beautiful Australia. Australia is so beautiful it’s crazy. Every time we drive somewhere, I am always amazed of the nature of this place. Today we woke up late and I went out to get us some breakfast. Toast, eggs and cherry tomatoes with a cup of tea. Then we picked up our take away coffees and drove to the beach. Ambrose surfed shortly and I tried to get a tan quickly. I say quickly because as soon as Ambrose comes up from the water he wants to leave straight away. To get him to lay around on the beach is not so easy.

    We drove and got some necessary shopping done. Work clothes for Ambrose and a new dress for me. We are going to a wedding next Saturday and I wanted to get something. Could not find anything under stress so have to go back looking tomorrow unfortunately. Don’t like shopping at all. Love when its done but the actually shopping bit is not my thing.

    Its going to be a short evening. Tacos for dinner shower rand then straight to bed. “See” you guys tomorrow.

    Renovation

    Today we started our day with a beach day. Its the second day of spring over here and 21 degrees. But it was just a short beach day. We left quite early to Leonard’s house where the renovation was full on. At first I just felt I was in the way so I took Aiylaa and palyed around in the garden. We found fresh veggie’s and herbs. Just look at all this parsley! I took alot of it back to the house. Going to make tabbouleh tomorrow for lunch.

    Ambrose took of his clothes for the renovation. He loves being with as little clothes as possible.
    Any excuse he can get to take his be half naked he takes 🙂

    After a while I got bored of playing, so when the boys asked if I wanted to help with the renovation I was excited. The whole house was painted in this old pink or and yellow paint. Started looking great as we painted it more and more in white. Still alot more to do with the renovation though. But its nice to see progress, painting is like meditation.

    We gave the renovation 5 hours of our time, that was it. On the way back in the car we were discussing how renovating is such a hustle. We might skip major renovation on our house and maybe get one that just needs minor renovation. I was tired after just 5 hours! Imagine months of renovation!?

    Anyway, because we want I day for ourselfs tomorrow we will miss out celebration of Ambrose’s father for Fathers Day. Instead we took him out for drinks and dinner tonight. The Thai just down the road is seriously one of the best Thai’s I’ve ever had. They always deliver. We shared fish cakes, Tiger prawns in creamy souse, seafood fried rice, pork pad e seew. And alot of drinks. Therefore I am absolutely exhausted tonight.

    We are back at the house now. Having a massive open fire, wine and some chocolate. And someone just put on Tina Turner on full volume. hahah I need to go sing along.

    Wish you guys a wonderful weekend.xx

    vacation in Andorra

    My family have been on vacation in Andorra for almost a week. A couple of days ago they sent me this photo. I always ask them to send me so I can feel included. It looks so cozy! Like a ski lodge. Well, Andorra is a place you normaly go on ski vacation, but its perfectly fine to visit during summer time as well.

    I cannot believe I’ve lived in Barcelona for years and never took the time to vacation in Andorra. Its just about 2 – 3 hours drive. And I bet you the drive is really nice too.
    Oh well, I believe we will have a life half in Australia and half the time over in Europe anyway. So I get to take Ambrose with me and have a vacation in Andorra next time we are over there. That sounds good too.

    But whats up with the portion sizes in Andorra!?? Hanie’s steak looks like something Fred Flintstones would order. and she is a vegetarian…well sometimes haha ) And Jasmin’s plate is a serve to feed an entire family. Looks yummy though, don’t you think?

    Miss them alot. This lovely group of people.

    Today we drove to the city because our car needed service. I decided to come too, because I can actually go and help out at Sister2Sister for the day.

    Mayweather vs McGregor

    Photocredit:  Photo © buzzpls.Com – LBC9 Now that I have a new phone I have to remember to take pictures! I keep forgetting and I think its because I broke my phone a while ago so just not used to do it anymore. I wanted to at least take some from when we were all watching the fight of the year – Mayweather vs McGregor.
    Anyway, here are some pictures from end of last week.

    Had one of my favorite breakfasts with my favorite person.
    Is it obvious how much he hates it when I take his picture? haha.
    On Sunday we woke up early at Bart & Carlitta’s place in Bronte. Well, I woke up 5:30 am, Bart and Karli around 7:30 am and then Ambrose… Him we had to drag out of bed if we wanted to get some breakfast and start the day.

    After we drove to the Harris Farm and got groceries, bears and rose’ for the Mayweather vs McGregor fight.
    Loved watching it. Cannot believe how nervous and excited I was!? We all were actually. It ended stupidly way too fast in my opinion. For all you who did not watch it, Mayweather won. And I lost the 20 bucks I bet on McGregor haha.
    After the fight me and Ambrose decided to skip the BBQ we had planed to have after the fight.
    Way too tired after the weekend. I am definitely not used to drink as the Australians. Got to step up a notch! 🙂

    Now its time to get back to the house and get some lunch, chicken wrap is all I can think of now. Did a class this morning called Yogalates, a mix of Yoga and Pilates and it really took it out of me! I have to get some muscles, especially in my arms. The plan for rest of the day is to learn more about remote work and after I might pump myself to get to class number two – DanceFit.
    No promises though….xx

    Break a sweat at the gym

    I know I promised to write about the first days back home. But I have to start today with letting you know about this great gym I found! They are called Planet Fitness .I will go into more details about them later on but for now I just wanted to encourage everyone to make sure to break a sweat everytime you go to the gym or do any type of exercise. Otherwise, whats the point!?

    If you don’t want to break a sweat at the gym, at least get your heart pumping. Its so good for you. Even if you will look like me here, a washed cloth hahah, at least you know you gave it your all.

    Exercise, worlds best endorphin.

    Okey that’s enough on breaking sweats at the gym 🙂 Now: back to getting myself back on track with remote work and remote studies!

    Reflect, refocus and decide

    One stormy day at Bronte Beach

    I haven’t been in here for many days now. I needed the time. Time to reflect. Time to refocus. Time to decide.
    These three pictures, I believe represents my last days here in Sweden.

    I have spend all my energy and dedication on doing just what these couple of sentences from Tony Robbins sais.

    I should have been totally exhausted. Instead I just feel more empowered, enthusiastic and calm as Ive ever have felt before. Funny that. I don’t understand it but I think the explanation is that I am on the right tracks now.

    Life; if your not who or where you should be, everything feels exhausting. When you are who and where you should be, nothing exhausts you.

    The little time I had left I spend outside and with these crazy boys 🙂

    Now I am 100 % ready to go home. My beautiful home. I could not be more excited.

    xx
