En kväll i rosa skimmer
Inte trodde jag att det skulle bli en kväll med rosa skimmer – bokstavligen. Kom hem och det är helt rosa utanför – och ständig förändring av ljuset.
A morning of Smoke and Haze over Sydney
The first sunlight showed a lovely blue sky and the city view clear and pink, but after about an hour we felt the smell of smoke and then the haze came in. Plan was to go and take a nice photo of the bridge in the haze after breakfast, it looked very nice from the flat.
When we did go for a walk, the smoke had thickened alot and we could not even see the city or the bridge from our normal view point in Waverton.
The light was spectacular though and it felt like being around a Valborgsbrasa… Now two hours later, it is clearing around the flat, but we are still not able to see the city or the bridge.
Oliver Adventure Squad Sailing – last weekend for term 1
At the last Adventure squad for term 1, the kids had a visit from a filmteam from Singapore who were filming an episode for a children’s tv show which will be shown in Australia and Singapore next year.
Jessicas last days in Australia
Jessica decided to move to Sweden for a while to see how it feels to live there. In the last days before leaving we had a family dinner, visited the beach and on the last day, Sanna and Jessica spent the day together before dinner at home and then off to the airport for a late evening flight.
Behind the fence at Sydney Metro
We had a great day out to one of the Stations being built along the Northwest Metro, which Sanna is the part of the project where Sanna works. A warm day which started with fog and ended with a nice brunch on the way home.
Australia Day in Sydney
This year we spent Australia Day, 26th January, in Waverton.
Fredrik and Erin came and joined us for brunch, followed by a trip to the city. This trip was to greet a Swedish guy, Mats, who has walked from Stockholm to Sydney, whom Jessica heard about at a party the weekend before. He wrote about his trip on: the-walk.se
Later in the afternoon we played Kubb outside our house before dinner at home.
Walk to Lavender bay and a visit to Wendys secret Garden
Niclas and Sanna went for an early morning walk to Lavender Bay on a nice Saturday morning. We ended up exploring Wendys secret Garden, which we had never fully explored. It was beautiful and we look forward to a picnic there with the kids one day soon.
And below are some pictures from within the garden:
Besök från Stockholm
Välkomnar Per och Morgan till Sydney!
Den 29 december kom Per och Morgan på besök från Stockholm. Oliver och Sanna hämtade på flygplatsen och sen på eftermiddagen åkte vi ner till Clontarf Beach för ett första bad.
Vi åkte på många olika utflykter till olika badstränder. Hann med att besöka Featherdale zoo och äta många trevliga middagar tillsammans. Killarna hade väldigt kul ihop.
Start of Sydney to Hobart race
26 December 2015
This time we decided to take the ferry over to Watsons bay and see the start. First plan was to sit on the Harbour side of South Head and then move over as the boats came around, but then we decided to sit on the Ocean side, have our lunch, and the see the boats round and set spinnaker (because that was how the wind blew.) We had a great day out.
