Illness

Oliver is poorly. Has a sore throat , runny nose and is throwing up.  After 3 days of no sleep he is exhausted and very unhappy. I feel so sorry for him - and really wish I could help him.... 
The doctor said there is nothing to do but give paracetamol and wait for it to go. Poor baby !

Oliver crawls!!!

Oliver birthday post

My friend Madelon came to visit a few weeks ago.  Can't believe I have not told you this yet , time has flown.....

Madelon and I used to work together in Brisbane and stayed friends since. We are actually even better friends now than we were on Brissie. Weird but good. I now regard her a very close friend and it was great to have her to stay.  

She brought a lovely gift got Oliver. A framed 'birthday post' from the day he was born.  Such a great gift! It will be even more interesting in a few years when we will look back and say 'oh i remember that song' etc.  now it is all pretty recent.  Still there were a few things from last year I did not remember - haha must have been the baby haze.... 

Thank you so much M - love it !   


Out and about ...

Out for dinner last night.  Started with a drink in the bar....
Then I got caught up in discussions and took no more photos but let me tell you , the eye filet was amazing !
La Grillade has been consistently  good every time we have been.  Loved it !

Autumn

Pippi sent me this beautiful picture from where she lives. Oh gorgeous ! 
I love the colours and the fresh air.
Very jealous of you all (in europe ) who gets to experience this: 



Indonesia ?

There are bush fires outside of Sydney.  Relax people, no way near here so all good. Anyway , lots of smoke around and smells like a morning in Bali. Weirdly I like it. Of course horrible with fires but the smell brings back wonderful memories if surf trips , water , sun , good food and laughs. 
Yesterday the light over Sydney was incredible. Can't really catch it on camera but was amAzing !

Package

Managed a walk to the post office with dog and pram. The dog is now lying on the floor panting - exhausted from the heat. I am excited as sis sent me all the stuff I either forgot if could not fit in my bag. Oh so nice , forgotten half of what I'd left behind.  Mostly books and clothes for Oliver.  Sis also managed to get 2 choccy cakes for Jonathan. Mmmm Marabou!
Tonight we are actually having Sill (herring) and potatoes for dinner. All around Swedish night tonight.  Oh and to make things even better - I bought a ginger bread house kit in Ikea on the weekend. Best 5 bucks invested. A few years ago I went through the hassle of making the dough, constructing on paper and baking the pieces, putting them together and adding candy on top - only to come down the next morning and it had collapsed due to the humidity.  Raaaah.  This year I don't care , it is a 10 min job putting them together! 



36 today

Luckily the house is cool. Downstairs that is.  Up here it is veeeeery hot. 
In Oliver's room 21.4 still at 3.30 pm - so a good sign for summer ... 
Have had all windows and doors closed all day which helps enormously. So from now on no open windows I guess... 

Had 2 meetings re work today. Both useless. However was treated to breakkie and coffees in Paddington. Not a bad morning after all hehe. 


Breakfast this morning

Yummy
