the hot Christmas party of 2016
Yesterday we went to Manly for this wears work Christmas lunch. It was Ambrose’s co-worker Lisa who had invited us all in. Her house was stunning, right my this cozy bay (behind me in the last picture ) at the end of Manly. We sat out in here courtyard drinking champagne and crispy Muscat wine as more and more people started to drop in. After a while of mingling with people from Ambrose work and their partners we sat down for lunch. Lisa had made slow roasted pork, coal slaw,fries, roasted pumpkin salad, falafel, tomato and basil bruchetta’s and so much more. It was all so delicious! She was really a good host.
Afterwards we continued drinking but some wanted to go for a swim, so we quickly packed up an eski with drinks and walked down the 50 meters of whatever it was from her house to the beach.By this stage I think all of us were a bit drunk so after watching the sunset at our picnic we went back to the house for deserts. One lady had made Japanese white chocolate cheesecake and a spongecake. Another girl had made a carrot cake. Such talents! haha I cant even make pancakes!! (my attempt last week was a total failure 🙁 )
But I managed to get a massage appointment for last week. One of the guys studies remedial massage and I’m going to his school next week. And the Japanese woman Yukoko and I found out we both share the same interest – trying out restaurants so we planed to go to this new Persian place in Hornsby. We exciting, maybe Ive got a friend hahaha
We had a really good time but Christmas feelings……when its humid and 30 degrees….. I don’t think so.

Candy
Cant stop thinking about candy. Swedish candy, not the crap they have over here. Well, maybe its not crap BUT it is nothing compared to what we have in Sweden. Good old “Lösviktsgodis” Mmmmm!!Started the day with one of Carla’s classes. She had raised the room temperature as usual for these classes and it was Hot! I was slipping away on my mat, Have to get one of those non-slippery mats but I’m still unsure if I will continue taking her classes or not. I cant wait until my neck is fine again after all this rehabilitation time and I can go back to all the things I loved. Unfortunately right now everything I do hurts!
Anyway, going to start coking with the indigence from these boxes that were delivered to my door today. Well, Ambrose will do the cooking, I don’t think I will be any good at this.

Open for Inspection
We thought this beautiful place would be our next home!
Just look at it! Reminds me of Napoli.
And then we went inside…. 🙁
So we kept looking
Last Saturday we drove to Sydney for some house inspections. Loved the first one in Potts Point! I mean just look at that building, the mailboxes, the street its on!! The real estate guy told us that the place has no view. What he clearly meant what that it had NO WINDOW 🙁
And for one room witch would be our living room slash kitchen slash bedroom (the real “bedroom” was too small to fit any kind of bed) he asked for 3 references and IF they would consider us we first had to have an interview with the board Zzzzzzzz
So we moved on to some other places, this time – Bronte. We liked one of them, and so did like 50 other people who were there for the inspection. It was 15 min walk to the beach and about the same distance to Bondi Junction. And we would be close to alot of our friends. But still, I cant quite get how even I now think its okey to charge around 14.000 SEK a month for shit places like this!?!
Back in Europe I would not even walk up the stair to look at this hahah. I kept telling Ambrose that for these rent prices you would get a penthouse with a maid back in Barcelona. Strange how us people tend to normalize things than should really be unacceptable. But now we are here and we do the best of the situation I guess 🙂
My home on Hall Street
My home on Glenayr Avenue
My home on Curlewis StreetAs I walked around I realized how many times I moved around. How many places I called my home. 6 countries so far. Cant even remember all my addresses. Anyway, here are 3 homes of mine in Bondi Beach.
And nooowwww back to Game of Thrones season 6. We only have 5 episodes left and I bet we will be up all night going true them. Going to be very hard to get up 5:20 tomorrow. But, totally worth it 🙂

Last night in the eastern suburbs …..
I strolled around my old neighborhoods while Ambrose and Kappa went for a surf in these massive waves
They made fun of poor Adam because he is shorter than these giants 
Ending the night with dinner at Hurricane

Friday
Happy Friday mood ! Ambrose has his day off this Friday so morning surf and then brunch. We shared ( we always share every meal – we are both way too interested to try out as much as possible on the menu 🙂 ) chicken sliders and fish tacos. Both delicious! Cant believe how fresh the fish tacos tasted actually.We spent the rest of the afternoon with Daniel and Rachel, and of course, the love of everyone’s life – Xavier. The boys went to play some gold and me and Rachel stayed back home catching up instead.We really could not be bothered playing golf. Especially when I suck at it! After a little BBQ at their house we drove back home and watched Ex Machina with the Swedish actress Alicia Vikander which was better than we thought it would be. A bit creepy but good twist.
Wish everyone else a happy Friday 🙂

Coral
Bored waiting in the car to pick up Ambrose. Think I sent stupid snapchats to everyone I know! haha
Sorry everyone 🙂
On our drive back home we did a few stops.Somehow I managed to sleep with my contacts in last night!?! That has not happened since I was a “cool” teenager who was out partying all night and often slept over friends houses. haha
Anyway, because of that little incident I decided to stay home half of the day to just rest my eyes. I have -6.5 so not its not like I can function out in the world without my contacts or glasses. Luckily Anastasia came by and picked me up for a lunch.
Tomorrow Ambrose has a day off so we want to get up early and make a day of it. Now off to bed to watch an episode of “Bob´s Burgers”. Big recommendation here. LOVE Tina and Gene. 🙂

Shopping
Dont like shopping so much (I know, its weird) but I am really excited of the stuff I got today! Especially these two golden choker´s. After I spent some time studying at this nice place, of course I cant remember the name 🙁 But I often find that restaurants or cafes that have an half open window space are the best. You get away from the worst noise and crowd, but you are still “in the mix” hahah. Very nice.
Got to message with my beautiful friend Annie this morning. I have the best friends, would be great if Australia was a bit closer to, well, THE REST OF THE WORLD! 🙂
Okey its almost 9pm. Means bedtime at our place.

Memories on a stick
A few days ago my friend gave me a USB stick with old pictures on it she said. I have not had a chance to look at them before and just having a fresh juice and looking trough them. They are so great! Its September 2013, Ambrose really really loves carnivals, rides and all that stuff, I don’t….hahaha. Anyway he got all of us to go with him to some weekend carnival he used to go to as a child. They all went on all these crazy – near death experience” rides and Ambrose was asking me over and over to go on something. So I did, and as you wan see I was not well. Stupid crazy death-rides 🙂
Just remember me struggling to decide between either holding on to my (very) short skirt and not flash everyone OR to hold on to the wall so I wouldn’t fly and crash. Tough decision. Looks like I decided to live and to flash!
But how fun does it not look seeing all of us like nerdy children, super excited over the tickets we just bought.
