Today is boxing day over here and hence Santa isn´t in yet, still climbing ;-)
I´m a tad behind again, hence expect some pics!
Thursday H, B and L picked us up at Kwinana train station and via a lille, beautiful detour with a bit of gravel road even, took us to their brand new home.
Awww, made me wanna buy a car and head off to the Outback again!
That house... awesome, so clever with the kitchen-area. If we had anything like that I might cook once in a while.
Maybe. ;-)
Also the rest, beautiful, even the typical small space to the neighbours is so well done!
The boys prepared a bbq...
Later B showed us how quick building in Australia really goes.
Crazy, 1.5 years ago cows grazed where there are now houses!
After that beautiful arvo we arrived in time for...
... and promptly outed us as non-Aussies laughing at this:
Everybody gave us a look when we told we go/have been there, but really, it was fun - and sweet!
One of the residents played the guitar and was the "first voice", his wife handed out the texts.
And as the evening went by I learned that when she was 14 - she is in her late 70`s now - her now-hubby was dancing with her.
They wrote letters for a while after she left but eventually lost contact.
50 years later, after her husband had passed she tried to find him on facebook (!), but alas, heaps of peeps with that name!
She remembered a Greek cousin and the rest is history aka Christmas Carols as newly-weds in Kingsway Tourist Park.
Awww, no?
Not so nice: I got four really huge mossie-bites, but that was worth it.
Friday we went to Freo again. Construction sites don´t need to be ugly here!
Awww, the wheel...
Just from the ground cause... 40 meters is a bit too high for my liking!
I love those houses in the harbour!
And the beach...
Or those cute changing-rooms...
And then... Just said I´d like to buy a car and head off again, right?
And then we run into this!
A Patrol LWB, just like ours back then, a couple years younger but just what we need!
And here:
We even could afford this, my, this was SO tempting!
A beauty, no, just the wrong color, but what the heck!
But, this is Australia, not Germany, we had to sign that we leave, and when.
So instead we paid Little Creatures a visit...
Tables are marked a bit different here:
Different is also their Xmas-tree:
The "star" on top certainly comes naked:
On we drove to catch up with Mark and his wife and then we headed home, my the days sure are packed here! :-)
Today nothing much.
The mate at our lille Grocery store said, "And merry.... ahhhh... merry... I always forget the word!.... Christmas!"
Yep, he´s from Iran... "and I ran", joke by L :-)
In case family reads along, to you a Merry Christmas today!
Forgot to ask Niece if she looks forward meeting Santa Clause.
Last time she whispered a fearful no, reckon she had her reasons ;-)
