Lamb shanks my way
Its right before bed but I just had to share this recipe of Lamb shanks I made for dinner tonight, it was too good not to share!Brown the shanks in some olive oil for 5-8 min, then put them aside.
In the same pan, put in 6 gloves of garlic, i big onion, 2 carrots and 2 sweet potatoes, all in big chunks.
Put in 1 can of organic crushed tomatoes and a big splash of red wine.
Add chicken salt,fresh grinned black pepper, cover and put it all in the oven. 160 degrees for 2-3 hours.
Sooo Yummy!Now to something not so nice…..while I was cooking I got splashed with the hot oil from the pan 🙁 on my left hand and arm. And….on my breast and nipple area 🙁 The pain was, well not so nice so I had to cancel acting tonight.
Ambrose forced me into the shower where I had to stand in freezing water for a long time to get the burning down. So yes its been a hectic night, so much for my ” lazy, resting at home day” haha.Over and out, literally!

Sick
Hello!
How is everyone out there? I am sick…lying on the couch freezing under a blanket from 8 this morning. I woke up and could not swallow without pain in my through and ears 🙁
Tried to do what normal people would do when they are home sick – watch Netflix! But I seriously don’t know what to watch. Help!?I know there is alot good stuff but I cannot get myself to commit to a series. And I have a weird thing where I cant watch a movie on my own. Not even during my many many flight back and forth between Europe and Australia, and that is like 20 hours on a plane…..
Anyway its been resting all day, with house cures. I really need to by an under-dress because by dress for the wedding tomorrow is see-true, and not just a little, you see it all! But I am too tired and I have acting class tonight as well. We’ll se how I go. Hopefully I will get it all done !

No time to get sick!
So I really don’t have any hot news…or even feel like writing in here today BUT this is what I want to do so I guess its my duty hahaha!! Nothing exciting has been going on and that’s why you guys only get a picture from thus summer when it was all nice and hot. This is at Safa’s old boss’s house and us girls came over and used their pool to the max as you can see.
This morning I was on my way to the first day of volunteering but my “boss” got sick so I start tomorrow instead. I had a coffee in the sun and then went back home and studied NLP all day instead. It is so damn interesting! I honestly cant get enough, just wish I had a book instead of reading off screen. There is a kind of charm with turning pages you don’t get with a laptop. Am I the only one feeling that?
At 2pm I had an Dr appointment for my neck but he was seriously the worst Dr I have ever been in contact with in my life. He did not even check anything and had nothing to say. I am finding a new Dr tomorrow, will not go back to that one.
When Ambrose got home we took the ferry to Balmain, we had left our car there outside Wall’s house from Anzac Day and needed to pick it up. It was freezing though so I now back home I feel my ears hurting every time I swallow 🙁 🙁
Tea and rest, that’s all I’m gonna do rest of tonight. Don’t have time for this at all! Tomorrow I have Dr appointment, volunteering and acting and Friday is Monica’s wedding. So back to resting now, see you guys tomorrow.

Anzac Day 2017
Yesterday was Anzac Day, or technically its still today… sorry such a mess over here. We all went to Wall’s house in the morning for some drinks before we all went to an stupidly overcrowded pub and played 2 Up or whatever its called. I love that game, everyone is so cheerful and happy!I know we went home sometime around 4pm and I fell asleep instantly. Ambrose woke me up around because he bough a huge pizza and wanted me to eat something. And when I got up I thought it was morning!?! So now I had pizza, I feel sick and I am super confused because it feels like a new day but instead its 10:30 at night and I have to somehow go back to sleep!

Sunday stroll
Good evening little sweethearts out there!
We did not sleet many hours last night. Ambrose was on ANOTHER buxparty ( I know its getting ridiculous right haha) and I cannot sleep before he is home. I am not even tired, so strange! Guess its weirdness that got stuck in my head from my “old” life… Anyway! he came home around 3am and I was up watching way too many episodes of a new series with Jane Fonda. I LOVE LOVE LOVE her.
Again, ANYWAY. I woke up around 9am and knew exactly how I wanted to spend my Sunday. Strolling around a new area in Sydney, having coffee’s and lunch at a great spot in the sun. And off course I managed to convince Ambrose to postpone his hangover and accompany me in my Sunday adventures. He seriously is THE best tour guide on earth 🙂So we went to Tramshed in Gleebe for coffee, tried out the Tram train ( super slow….) strolled around Gleebe, went to the fish market and then we found a super cute little restaurant and had some Pho. Thank you for today, such great day!

fairlight
Saturday and we got ourselfs out of bed quickly and up to Crowsnest for some organic coffee and a stroll around in the sun! We luckily also remembered to get to Wollies and pick up some groceries…we always seem to forget that nowadays. Around 1 o’clock it was time to pack up the car with picnic stuff and head to Manly. We were a small little gang of 10 that were determined to enjoy our Saturday with a BBQ at the beach. We all met up at Heath’s place and drove off in a couple of cars to this pretty place called Fairlight.Love Saturday’s like this 🙂

Mount Kosiciosko II
I forced Ambrose to ride this thing 4 times up and down. He started to go crazy I think haha
Hot coco on a cold day with a view
One of my most memorable lunches I have to say 🙂
Hey guys, okey lets continue the tip I have if you like hiking, outdoors, nature and like me mountains. For Easter we decided to take a trip to Mt Kosciusko, or as me and Ambrose renamed it to – Mount Koskesh. It means in Farsi, well…its like, never mind…
During our 2 nights we took on 2 hikes. First the 13 km Mt K, and the second day we hiked xxxxx which was not as long. We both felt quite unfit and had “jellyleggs”from the first day. You take a chairlift for about 15 min (this was my favorite activity out of all 😉 ) which takes you up the first bit of the mountain, and from there you start! Its about 4-6 hours return. We did it in about 4 hours, inducing me whining and our 20 min picnic lunch at the top. Be sure to have plenty of sunscreen, I was burning red in my face even though I had spf 50 on!There are plenty of hikes to do around this area so its more or less just to buy a National Park Visitor Pass (17 AUD/day) and then just explore.
here is a great way to start for information
