1 may
Första maj idag, men inget som verkas firas här, eller ja, eftersom "may day" är på en söndag så får dom ledigt imorrn istället som kompensation, men annars verkar det inte vara nåt speciellt.
Valborg firas såklart inte heller här och vi visste inte hur det skulle tas om vi startade en jättebrasa i parken så vi skippade det :)
I fredags va det ju bröllopet mellan prins William och Kate och dom tillhör ju typ Australiens kungahus så det firades stort här. Tack vare tidsskillnaden så började festligheterna kl 18.00. Vi hade inte direkt planerat nåt men Kate och John har ju landat nu i Melbourne och dom skulle till Kates kusin och kolla på det på TV och vi blev medbjudna. Det var väldigt trevligt. Vi alla hade tiaror på oss, tom Andrew i typ 10 sekunder. Vi åt god mat, massa godis, chips med vinägersmak såklart (blä) och sen chokladtårta, det var desto godare :)
Bröllopet va ju såklart så vackert så men väldigt engelskt, inte direkt några känslor fick synas. Näe jag blev lite besviken, plus att William fick ju ingen ring. Näe tacka vet jag Victoria och Daniels bröllop, det var mer, kärleksfullt och personligt, man kunde verkligen se att dom älskade varandra.
Igår va det typ 30 grader varmt, och det är höst! Hur skumt är det? Vi gick till parken och slappade lite, kastade lite frisbee, planerade vad vi ville göra i Australien och NZ, åt lite jordgubbar som jag hade köpt på Victoria Markets och ja bara hade det bra.
Idag är det mulet men fortfarande inte kallt, så jag klagar inte.
Har varit på gymmet varje dag sen vi flyttade hit, varje morgon INNAN frukost! Får se hur länge jag orkar vara så ambitiös :)
Andrew ska spela fotboll ikväll med några grabbar, jag hänger nog med och hejar.
Nu ska ni få se lite hur det ser ut på insidan i vårt nya hem, var beredda på att bli imponerade ;) näe men ärligt, det är enkelt men fint.
It's the first of May today, they don't seem to celebrate it here but since it's on a Sunday I think they get a day off tomorrow.
Just in case you missed it, it was the wedding between Prince William and Kate on Friday and since they sort of belong to the Australian royals it was a big thing down here and thanks to the time difference the celebrations on TV started at 18.00.
We didn't really have any plans but Kate and John has now arrived in Melbourne and they invited us to go over to Kate's cousin to watch it on TV and we did. It was very nice! We all had little tiaras (even Andrew for about 10 sec). We had some nice food, lots of sweets and snacks (salt and vinegar crisps) and then chocolate cake, yummy :)
The wedding was of course very nice and beautiful, but very English, no real emotions were being shown. I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Especially since I watched the Swedish Victoria and Daniel get married last year, that was a lot nicer, loving and personal, you could really tell they loved each other.
Yesterday was such a nice day, I think it was about 30 degrees hot and so we went to the park, threw some frisbee, ate strawberries and talked about what trips we want to do in Oz and NZ. It was soo nice.
It's a bit weird though, it's autumn and 30 degrees, doesn't that sound wrong? Can you imagine October in England or Sweden and 30 degrees?
Cloudy today but still not cold so I'm not complaining. Been to the gym, I've actually been every day since we moved here, even before breakfast! We'll see how long I can be bothered with that :)
Andrew's gonna play football with some guys tonight and I'm gonna go and watch. Speaking of football, down here they call it soccer and football is AFL Australian rules football which is nothing like football, I think it's more like rugby. I think football is when you use your foot on the ball, not carry the ball with your hands and then sometimes kick it. I mean come on, foot ball, doesn't that imply that your foot and the ball should spend more time together?
Anyway, here are some pictures of our new home. Prepare to be amazed! No seriously, it's nice and simple :)
At least they spelled it with an f instead of ph
