Just a quick update of what we were up to the last two weeks.
Unfortunately the second weekend at MacMasters Beach had to be canceled. But we used the time to sort out our Bush… some would call it garden!
No honestly… two thirds of our land is bushland. And as it gets warmer now and the snakes come out, we thought we had to go through that part and clear it a bit. And we want to harvest some Maccademia Nuts again, so we had to create a path to the tree.
And.. as mention snakes… we were having a BBQ the other day as we heard a knock on the door.
There was our neighbour and she told us, they had two snakes in their garden that day. She just wanted to warn us as she knows that the Kids go in every bush! The rang the Rangers to ask them what to do and they said, they had 250 calls already till noon and not to worry, the snake would disappear.
So I spend all saturday trying to get hold of the weeds and, even more anoying, the cocklebur! Go… that stuff is strong!! I ended up, having a muscleache in the back of my thighs, from leaning against them to get them out of the soil ( some roots were up to 1.5 meters long!)!
But at the end of the day I was pretty proud of myself, as our Backyard finally looks like a garden again, rather that “something”. And even our Bananaplants have some space again to grow! Who knows, maybe we’ll have some Bananas one day!
On Sunday then we drove up to the Blue Mountains. We had planned to do a little walk to the Wentworth Falls.
As parts of the walk we had planned, still were under construction we had to improvise and ended up, doing a four and a half hour walk!!
It was amazing, stunning with awsome views!
Simply breathtaking!
When we were back home I had a look in our Blue Mountains Bush Walk Book, just to discover that we had combined the only very hard walk around there and one of the two hard walks!
Poor Timon… is all I can say!
But all three of them walked great, without whining! So, after we came back to Sydney we spoiled ourselfs with a big Schnitzel at “Unas”, now “Essen”!
The week went like a storm, so work wasn’t really anoying.
On tuesdays we started to get together with Dave and Jenny for a Pizza night as we discovered there is a Pizza Place that does half price Pizzas on a Tuesday. And it’s just great to catch up at least once a week, sit together, the Kids can play, us adults can chat and relax! And before you know it, it’s Friday and we see each other at Indoor Soccer…
wich was thrilling this week, as both Teams, the Under 6 Greenies and the Under 8 Vipers won their games (wich does not happen very often for the Greenies!!!)!
This week, Timon and Joshi both scored.. what a success!
This Saturday we met with some other Germans at Shelly Beach for a BBQ. As we thought it was really a nice, relaxing afternoon, we decided, we’re gonna do that on a more less regular base now.
We even saw some Whales which was unexpected as they should have gone past weeks ago.
We’re even planning on a “Feuerzangenbowle- abend” on the 6th of December!
This morning the Kids are all at a Birthday Party and when we pick them up, we just stay there and have a BBQ, before heading home!
You see, all we can say at the moment is, that we are pretty much happy with our lives and enjoy every day as it comes!
So far that’s for now
See ya!!!
