BITE ME

 

 

Found this at Hillarys Boat Harbour and... did not buy it cause... haha River sure knows... too big. And... can I do that to my companion, my red hat that brought me in so much trouble but is with me since 2013? Which is not red anymore, hello, Australian sun!

 

Ingo could make this hat match to mine (head). So will I... next time? 

Help me, yes or no? 

 

 Henry 🦁 .... Henry?!!!! "Yes, I´m in Perth!"

 

 

"They stuck me in the zoo! It was so humid and hot - all I could do was watching the visitors... who could stay inside some aircon-pub and have a cool beer, but no, they prefer visiting me! 

Can you believe that?! 

Bites one piece off of a hat, no?!" 

 

Yes, blogger "allowed" me back in! Happy Sunday...

 

And with that I am back at...

 

Eileen.

If late...

The journal:

Monday: We stayed home. Bought standard stuff. I paid Aus$ 1000 for the Cabin. Jetlag. Old peeps!!!

  

Tuesday:  I could not buy anything, card: declined! WHAT? 

Hillary´s, tired. Too tired for a swim, plus, it was too cold and windy!!!

 

Wednesday: The stupid bank sent me the international card for our joint account that covers €500. No wonder I cannot pay! Transferred enough money on to that and can pay, yippeee, cabin covered. 

Perth, still so out of whack - remember: I cannot sleep on bus or plane! I even took a sleeping pill - no luck!

 

Thursday: Up early, jumper on. TV: They show winter games as in: SNOW!!!! 

Went to get tap-water in PJs and no bra. Ha - THE life!

 

Friday: HOT, HOT, HOT > pool. Ingo stayed in the cabin, I met peeps from Port Headland and Albany, nice chats till I was COLD, COLD, COLD. The one from Port Headland is into gold-mining with her Hubby  and found some nice pieces already!

 

Weekend: Saturday:

 

Sunday: 

Turkey -Talk

Sorry, the local birds still hide!

So... only this I can come up with for...

 

 ... Eileen. But it´s fun, right?

We´re in around 34C / 93F, sunny and happy!

 Have a crittery Saturday!

 

 

 

FFO - What Nonsense, Misha!

My face for Nicole´s FFO. 

And something to laugh.
 

Really, why can´t people cover their mouth when yawning - I really cannot look away fast enough and have to see what they just ate... and btw.... no eat or drink on Transperth....

T STands for There

...with which I join Elizabeth´s T... if late.

The journal:

 

Monday: Ice-rain, chaos on the streets, what a start to the new week. Snow again. Bleh. On Straya Day! Brüderchen (my Brother), fK and my T called via What´sApp, oh, sweet.

And then! Brought out garbage. W (aged 84) was shoveling snow. I was just in a jumper but we chatted for half an hour and he takes care of my lille Christmas tree :-)

l packed up and due to snow and stones via Uber to the Flixbus.
Kicked us out at Frankfurt main train station, but Ingo got the job done with public transportation.
Hotel Platzhirsch - two years had gone by and their server-robots have not improved.
 

 

Tuesday: Up early, brekkie. Me too nervous to eat.. In the icy cold to the shuttle and then wait forever for the flight to Singapore. A seemingly endless flight - but Ingo got the best seats - last row, just the two of us at the window. 
On to Perth - same seats! Could  not sleep - neither on Flixbus, nor on the planes and eating is a real misery.

Wednesday:  Germans get winked through at customs and we got - after running - an immediate train to Perth CBD, ran, got the next to Warwick in a blink of an eye and off via bus to Madeley ONE big room. No living- and bedroom.
Ingo was tired, I wanted to watch TV - old cabin:
Close the door.Here:  One.Big.Room.
One small table, an extra kid´s bed in the way, only ONE chair, door to toilet/shower opens itself, blinds don´t close - nice "update".
You wear dresses? Well -no place to hang them
"Designers" at work.
Porch: No chairs, no table.
Plan: Listed all up in English. Be friendly and ask for changes.
NO UPGRADE! But OK now...

 

 

Thursday:  Stuff gotten done. No jet lag!

Went to Joondalup,Ingo got a hotspot so we can be online, it was drama.

Australia: 5G. Germany... 3G... Vodafone said no, Telstra found a solution, yippeee! 

First Grill´d, sadly not made with love. Gave the token to the police-campaign (there are three buckets, choose which you support).

For their wonderful concept see here - local matters!

 

   

Friday: Jet Lag hit. Hard. Long story short: I managed to get the cabin arranged to our demands (we did not get the Cabin I booked) and fell asleep inbetween. Bummer - officially old! Happy on the porch in the heat

 

 

Weekend: Saturday: Up in the middle of the night, French on Camembert... Cheese, are we.

 

Sunday: Pat picked us up and we went to their home - sooooo nice to meet again. Later our Monday Mural host popped in with her hubby and we hit the pool after a BBQ with burger patties from: Grill´d!!! We got a ride home along with a cappuchino for me.

Bare with me ...  8 hours to catch up on, no money (I got the problem solved and all is fine now, if complicated).... Swan.. tomorrow!

 

Early Maybe Start?

As we have "just" arrived in Madeley/Perth with heavy jetlag I can only sneak in with a "kinda-mural" for  Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals. 

It´s on the ground - can you agree to that? 

I promise I´ll find plenty the next days for real.

So far: Much thanks for the great Sunday, dear host - we woke in the middle of the night in the HEAT, hoh, boy, it´ll take some more days to adapt!

 To to us the first real week in heaven....

 

Ohh... Obama And A Hole

Speaking of presidents:

And to laugh

 

We adapt to the Aussie weather and temps and are off with friends to a pool party!

Bare with me  ... I´m not 20 anymore... tired, so tired... and it is (wonderfully) hot.

Got bitten by an ant, oh, the joy of being in Australia ;-)
