Halloween

The weekend is sneaking up more quickly than I would have wanted to. But to day is Halloween and I have news to wash down the sorrows of assignment writing.
Today my brother Leo was born and I now have 3 more family members I've never meet.
Meet my brother:
I'm going to call you Leonard. Congratulation Paps.

The Cove

Ended up going to the Cove last night, I realized at that point that the only thing I had eaten since breakfast was a strawberry sorbet. So I had a bruchetta. CJ and Annelyne joined me at Kings Park for some white wine and beer, prior. So I figured to con tinue on that path, sharing a bottle with Annelyne.

When they closed we jumped on the closest boat, a two massive engine boat, with Jim Beam and Coke in the fridge. We drank while we were touring Swan River.
And then I got to DRIVE the boat and Markus, Nicklas, Melissa and Annelyn, got pretty worried, but I was great.

I woke up in the footend of my bed with my clothes on with a hairlacky in my hand ready to wash off my make-up. I slept on my bag. Nice!

Breakfast and Kings Park

Every month Pandora (Angela) invites us all to a meeting. Last time it was at C-Restaurant in Perth, which unfortunately I was unable to attend. But this morning we went to Subiaco Hotel, where we enjoyed a a la carte menu and great coffee.
I took a walk along Rockaby Road and found myself in close proximity to Kings Park, which seemed like a place where I could get some things done, without having a black cloud over my head, that is sitting inside on a beautiful day like this.
I spent about 30 minutes enjoying the view over Perth Skyline until my battery died on me.


Luckily enough, its sunday and there are a lot o great cafés around.
Right now I'm sitting on a high bar stool drinking a cappuccino and san pellegrino at the Botanical Café.
It is quite entertaining I must say, cause if you've ever seen hells kitchen or anything with that same dude, that I can remember the name of, you'd get a full on flash back with an open kitchen and people running around like crazy screaming "YES CHEF!" "YES CHEF!"

24 Hour Pitch

Just sitting researching HBF insurance. We got a brief at 9.30 this morning to which we have to write a communications plan and advertising plan, which is to be presented tomorrow morning at 9.30.
Quite hectic, but I'm stuck already, trying to find some information on the lead competitors.
Good luck to me!

Per

Got introduced to Färjan this week and it is without a doubt the best thing to hit Swedish TV since Plötsligt i Vindslöv.
Now let me introduce you to Kryssingsvärden Per:

Remember Dancing, Sister?

Slacking in the sofa all day and watching movies is the most fun I will have this Saturday night. I got pretty hammered last night - I went straight from work to Markus, Melissa and Niklas' place and forgot I hadn't had anything to eat since the small Greek salad I had for lunch. When I got there I realized that I was pretty behind - I must say that Dennis was a happy camper, who unlike me chose not to eat.
Anyhow, we did a pit-stop at Hula Bula and ended up at The Manor. At this point I was quite happy myself and was jumping around dancing by the piano.
I found it quite funny considering how drunk I was. Hence the relaxing day on the sofa.


Channel 7 are showing Pretty Woman which reminded my of the time when my sister and I was bar hopping in Stockholm, copying the original dance style of the painter at The Blue Banana Club in Hollywood.


It was sort of a snake like or sex like movement of the lower body while spray painting or brush painting on the imagined wall, that is the space in between us. We were dancing as if we were mirror images of each other.
I suddenly understand why the people at East enjoyed our routines. Those were the good days. Remember Nicci? I can believe I still know all the words in the movie. We must have seen it quite a few times ey!?

Cottesloe

Ones again I went to the beach with Karin. We saw a lot of Speedos and and seagulls through our apple juice bottles transformed into crystal wine glasses.


After spending 3 hours locked inside Joondalup ECU learning about business leads and how to approach these to get the best response in the prospect pipeline, this was a nice change of environment.


And as for those who chose the pool over school, sometimes you can do both ;)

Sun and Water, Baby

First summer day in Perth today. 30 degrees and a nice warm, yet cooling breeze.
As any Swede would CJ and I took everything we could detract ourselves with and headed for the pool deck.
So far we are just getting to the shrimp pink colour but are getting closer to the bright red coat of the cooked lobster.
But hey, as Swedes, we will be forgiven.
I got to use the new bikini I got from my lovely sister.


A Marimekko bikini and a straw hat with a white and blue ribbon is what can describe the first day in the sun - and the water is fantastically refreshing.

the Melbourne post is updated with pics...

Home is Hay Again

We made it home after a few misunderstandings and bumps in the road. But we kept our mood on a decent level, meaning we spent a lot of time, these last 24 hours, spending time.

Dennis introduced us to the "pick machines" at Avalon Airport, just north of Melbourne (I think). The goal was to get the Yo-Yo that he had set his eyes on the night before - the night we missed our flight. So now we were all involved. We spent at least 60 AUD in this machine, we won a lot of chocolate that no one wanted, and we never got the Yo-Yo. As you can see this turned into a serious quest where we relied on physics, mathematical calculations and instrinct to get closer to our goal - the blue yo-yo. Happy time is time well spent.

Since I haven't really updated the blog yet I will add photo's and stories soon. I just need a few hours rest. See this as a teaser.

Stuck in Avolon!

We just came to the airport just with plenty of time to check in, or so we thought. We were meant to fly out from Melbourne Airport and we were informed that there is no chance we would get there in time.
So, to boganville we are headed. There is a place there for us, waiting with foxtel and everything.
As the trip started very randomly kharma gave us a random end.
For those of you wanting updates about the trip I will try to get my act together on Saturday, and Nicci, I will add some pictures.
