December2014

 Hold on to your hat :)


Huhuh, ja e nog hurja bra på att uppdatera här...nooot.. :D skärpning alltså! Snart är det jul fast de int känns så alls..här börjar de bli varmt och skönt ti sommaren så tanken på att dricka varm glögg och äta tung mat, passar int alls in.  

Funderar att va har vi gjort under dom senaste månaderna? Efter Tokyo så åkte vi över långt veckoslut till G:s syster och hennes familj och hade roligt där :) Där ska vi även fira jul i år så väntar mycket på det :) Sen så har vi varit på polttare båda två vilket va helt roligt och så har vi varit på julmarknad till Svenska kyrkan och därifrån köpt ja pepparkakor(fast man sku få dom billigare från IKEA) och pärlsocker, för de har dom int här! Så nu kan ja laga chokladbollar och kanelbullar :P

Nu i helgen var vi på Finska församlingens jul-lunch och de va nu sådär. Maten var super god, men de va kanske lite dyster stämning så vi for därifrån redan före kaffet. Passa bättre barnfamiljer och åldringar så vi som är där mittemellan had nu int så mycket att komma med. 

Men som sagt. Snar är det jul!! och sen är det int länge kvar mera till vår semester!! :) Hipp hipp hurraa!!

Ja beställde en ny telefon åt mig i helgen och så va jag idag och sökte ett nytt simkort till den (för mitt gamla simkort är för stort) men ja fatta int att dom stänger av mitt gamla simkort och min nya telefon har int ännu anlänt, så nu är jag liksom telefonlös... tur så finns det pc:n :)

Hoppas ni alla har det bra och att julförberedelserna är i full gång :)

Kramar!!

Gese, I'm really good at updating here on the blog I see...nooot :D I wont make any promises of doing better in 2015 but I will try.. 

Soon it is Christmas, can you believe it??? I can't. Way too warm here :) Hard to get into the Christmas spirit when warm glögg drink and heavy food is the last thing you need :P

Trying to think about what we have been doing the past few months? After Tokyo we spent a long weekend with G's sister and her family and that was awesome! We are also heading there for Christmas which will be truly lovely! We've also attended a box night/hens night in November which was lots of fun :) and we've visited the Christmas bazaar organised by the Swedish church! I got some gingerbread (even if I could probably get some cheaper from IKEA) and some special sprinkling sugar that we use for candies and to decorate cinnamon buns with :)

This Sunday we visited the botanical gardens in Melbourne and then went on Sunday to the Christmas lunch organised by the Finnish society. It was nice, but a bit dull. Food was great, but the program was more suited for families with children and for older people, so we left before the coffee..

But as said, soon it is Christmas and then it is only a few more weeks and then our vacation starts!!! :)

Hope you are all doing well and that your Christmas preparations are coming along!

Hughs!!
