life in the city. . .

have been busy settling in. . .looking for work, a semi-permanent place to stay, etc. . .here's a little update on our lives in the city. . .

Rob makes a new friend with a puppy, Layla. . .now, everytime they meet, she says hello to his toes. . .sometimes in a violent fashion. . .but it's all puppy love :)

moved in to our "new" pad this week. . . our room is the top left corner with the balcony. . .rent is decent for being so close to the city. . we do have 3 housemates (all Korean), but we don't see much of any of them. . .we have the master suite. . so it's great!. . and a big bonus. . .air conditioning!!! it's been above 30C all week!!! the humidity is what gets us. . .


Friday, January 26 was Australia day. . . we celebrated with our new friends. . it was good times! :) flag raising at Roma Parklands (above)


oh. . this isn't our party. . .but doesn't it look fab? :)


this is our indoor BBQ at Andrew's flat . . .it was really good to meet lots of new people. . .and have Sanitarium veggie hotdogs (so good that Rob wants to import some to Canada). . .


an Oz day must include some cricket. . .rob (in red) bowls (don't ask me what that means, obviously, i only watched :)


ended the day with some fireworks. . . it was a grand start to a long weekend! :)

  • Lucky you - real nice pad (is that an Oz term?) with a balcony. We're in Loma Linda now - a bit too cold for me but I like it. Had to reapply lip balm often though. love you.
