I was very late getting up this morning, or rather leaving the bedroom. It is the only room that can be heated by the combined a/c and heater. The temperatures drops to around 11 or 12 °C at night and the bedroom is the only place to be. We are thinking of moving the TV in here, like the tenants before us. First we thought it seemed a bit decadent when we saw it, but now it seems like the only way to go.
Last week I went to the SIS dinner to celebrate the last day of April - Sista April which is possibly linked to Walpurgis Night. It is very Swedish and if you have been a student at one of the big universities, it is a must. A fire is lit and songs are sung and hats are thrown in the air to celebrate the arrival of Spring.
In our case it was also a wonderful sit down dinner catered by Two Swedes Cooking and it was very nice. I was very grateful that it was a sit down affair because I had been running around Sydney on foot and on busses all day together with L, a new girl friend who had spent the night at my place since she lives quite far away. One of the places we went to was the Archibald exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW. As usual I didn't quite agree with the jury's choice, there being a few others that I liked better. Anyway I was glad it was a sit down dinner since I don't think I could have managed standing up all night!

Oh, I almost forget that there was also Mother's Day. We went out for lunch with our son. It was cleverly combined with doing laundry since his washing machine is on the blink. It was quite hard to find a place to eat since we had not booked but we found a place in Thirroul, down the coast. We actually looked for houses down that way and we really liked it, but then we found the one we have just moved to and decided on that. It has a pool and wooden floors, which were my main criteria when we were looking.
This coming weekend we are organizing a little housewarming BBQ, and hoping for nice weather. Come along, if you feel like it. We would love to see you!!
Sorry cannot make the Housewarming..... but will see you soon in 'fingers crossed' slightly warmer weather. While we had 25 degree heat in the beginning of the week, Winter has just taken hold and it is now bitterly cold! Bring on the Northern Hemisphere!
