Warmer weather!

It has gotten warmer - finally - and we hope that this is the start of the summer weather.
And as we live in a great place - I now try to go to the beach with Oliver at least a couple of times every week. Last week, being the first warmer one, we spent one morning at a lovely playground near the sea. It was a little windy, but great, and the nearest coffeshop do deliverys - fantastic. Just phone in your order and they deliver.

Oliver is a little wild one - even if he doesnt eat much - and he wont leave the house without his little car or cyckle, or a tennisball and racket or football. He loves kicking and throwing balls around - in and out.

This weekend is a three day long weekend, and we are pottering about in the house - and tonight we meet a friend from London and take him out for dinner in Manly, where there is a Jazz festival on. Looking forward to that.
Jessica is away at camp with the aircadets and get back on Tuesday.

Then it is springholidays. The kids being at home for the next two weeks - hopefully we will be able to get a few things done around the house - and some excursions aswell.

Treasure Hunt

Well - last Saturday, me and the kids went on a Geocache - a treasure hunt using GPS. We where introduced by a friend of mine, and it basically means that you look at the website, find a treasure hunt, get coordinates and a map and then off you go.

We went with my friend, she has a handheld GPS, and after we found our first cache, the kids got really into it (well Jessica and Fredrik, Oliver was fast asleep on this first one). Off to the next one, in a lovely place, high up in one of the National parks not far from us, with a great view, Oliver was awake, which was good - the pram could not come on this one - and when Fredrik and Jessica found the treasure, Oliver got to choose. Hopefully we will be able to do a few more of these over the spring holiday coming up next week.

You can also "tag" things and plant them in a treasure, and then watch them as they make their way around the place, or world if you like.

I had a very nice weekend, it felt very long, mainly because we went to a friends birthday party on Thursday night (only Niclas and me)- then off to a seafood dinner with friends on Friday ( with only Oliver joining us) and then on Saturday I went into town to meet up with a good friend of mine, Annett. We had drinks at the crewhotel first, then off to a great restaurant in the Rocks. Got home late, and Oliver wakes lots in the night and early in the morning, but it was all worth it.
Sunday was spent lazing around the house - or gathering rubbish and stuff to throw out - council clean up on Monday.

Yesterday I had my first homeparty - selling underwear - went well and I now feel more confident in starting this whole thing up.

Niclas is in Hong Kong this week - lucky him - perhaps next time I can come too...

Where did this month go?

Well - another month past.
As of the 30th of August, I have now left BA, after 19 years. It feels strange.
The first two weeks I felt a little depressed, probably not for the fact that I had left the company, though I will miss the flying alot, but more due the fact that I dont have an employment now.
But I have started getting over it, though it will probably feel odd for some time.
Especially without the same possibilities to come over to Europe at short notice for little less money. But then again, nice to have a seat booked and know that the trip will only take around 30 hours and not more.
Though for a year or so I think that I will stay one night in Asia on the way up and down.Oliver had a much nicer flight when we did that last time. And as for Fredrik, it made his jetlag minimal (he is the one in the family that suffers the most).

I have started a little selling enterprise, selling at homeparties for a friend of mine. Underwear and childrens clothing. Looking forward to getting started fully on this. My first party is next week.

Otherwise, alot of contact with friends are now had on Facebook, very addictive but fun at the same time.

Oliver is my Coffeemate - and he loves his Babycino. As the weather is bad today, I think we will head to the mall and have a coffee and go to the library. Then home to try to get a grip on the de-cluttering. It is amazing how much one manages to collect, two years in the house and it is choker with things already. Well - council cleanup on Monday - better get those black bags out and start filling them.
