Omg, I think I am a bogan

This is an unknown Bogan drinking VB in his singlet and thongs.

It's true....hubby got a book for his birthday about being a Bogan and what it entails and I think I fit right in there. This word Bogan was not familiar to me when we first arrived here in Australia but now we live in an area of Sydney called the Shire that is supposed to be the home of the typical Bogan ... and I like VB, short for Victoria Bitter, a type of beer favored by Bogans, and my favorite shoes are thongs (or flipflops).  These are all things typical to Bogans, apparently.

Here is a test you can take to check out if you are a Bogan or not. It turned out that I was only 25% Bogan, so not really qualifying after all. I don't know where I went wrong.

I would just like to add that all this is a little bit tongue in cheek. I really don't believe in dividing people up in classes like this.  Here in Australia you have so many different types of people and Bogans are just one of them.

I can't believe it is almost Easter, time passes way too quickly. Soon it will be time for me to return to the old country and have a visit with my elderly mother and nephew and friends in Sweden, yay!





I feel I have to tell you something. Just because I take photos of beautiful boats doesn't mean we have one. In fact, I wouldn't know what to do with one if they gave one to us. It is just that it makes such a typical picture of Bohuslan on the west coast of Sweden where I come from.

I am off now to buy cat food. Yes, we are cat sitting again while our son is in India for work and hubby loves it.  Until next time xxxx

  1. 27% bogan, and I do not drink beer or wear thongs(or a thong for that matter) my extra 2% must be that I am actually Australian, and you are not. I so want to come to Sweden and enjoy the boats.... from the quaint cafes.

  2. You, being an honorary Swede, should have a yearly visit to Sweden, I think, to keep up your Swedish and set up a loom, that would be so much fun!
