It just goes too darn fast!

I mean time just slips through my fingers; one day it is the first of January and then it is suddenly the seventeenth. What is happening? I really have to take more care of each day and treasure it!

We had visitors from Melbourne with us last week and J, the husband, reminded me of this time aspect, when he said that I am now on my last 3000 days. That doesn't seem much really does it? I have so much still to do. Here are some ideas. I am not going to do number two, and as far as number five, I seem to do that  effortlessly on a regular basis. Here is another website with more ideas. I like the travelling and learning ones, but the sport ones, forget it, they are not for me.

J and J (our visitors) were quite independent and went into Sydney by themselves quite a few times but we also had a few trips together by car.  One of the last day we had a nice dinner at Grissini, a local Italian restaurant in Menai which very good.

I also had a visit from an old Grenoble friend, A, who lives here in Sydney now. She brought the whole season three of Førbydelsen and we watched it all in one day. Occasionally we would get up and grab something to eat. We were like zombies (or teenagers); it was really a disgrace but great fun. Maybe we will do it next year again, since this was the second time we did it, and we seem to  be creating a tradition here. Last year was in our old house.

This is not a sign you see very often here in Australia but in Sweden it is very common, warning you of moose crossing the road.. So of course we had to stop and have coffee where we saw this in Wollongong. I had actually been there several times before, but now that they have this sign up it is easier to find. It is a cafe/restaurant run by a Swedish woman and her South African husband, called Wild Moose Cafe. They are also on Facebook in case you want to have a look.

Cheerio for now everybody and more news after the Australia Day week end, which is the 26 of January. That is when our dear friends from the UK are coming for a visit. Who knows what we will get up to with them! We have a few ideas up our sleeve, but it all depends on what they feel like doing.

Leaving you with a picture of a painting that I saw in the Wild Moose Cafe and that I really like for its vibrant colors and naïve style.
