Back in Sydney now…

All booked, all sorted – here I come! In the hope of good weather, in August this year… So I would say: it’s time to line up for cafe, dinner, BBQ and breakfast dates It’s going to be the usual “working-stress-holiday” but nevertheless I’m looking very much forward to it and to [...]

I admit I have taken the piss about UGG boots ever since I came to Australia and I still think they are UGG-ly but after 5 years I have given in – I just bought a pair. Not necessarily as fashion statement or because I suddenly think they look really good but to keep [...]

Now, that is a very rare sight! It is colder in Sydney than in Dresden… Despite the fact that we have winter and it is summer back home Sydney is usually not that much colder. This morning it was -1 and apparently there was ice on the windscreens yesterday. I missed out on that [...]

My best friend braved the sales last week and handed her credit card over to me afterwards. Today I think we should have done a swap. How come that we always fall for the sale signs?

Now for some of you that might look insane but I can only say that I enjoy it! It is even lacking the whole “oh shit it Wednesday I have to go to training” issue. It’s more like “Yeah! It Wednesday (or Monday or Friday or Saturday for that matter) I can train today… [...]

And what happens when a 4WD backs into a tiny Mitsubishi that is innocently parked in it’s favourite spot right in front of our house? The 4WD wins I’m glad that the culprit left a message and I was relieved when I read that he didn’t see little Rudi (my cars name)…

Despite the fact that I’m waiting for my permanent residency visa and I do love living in a sunburnt country, please guys – give me some credit here! I have come far! I wear flip flops in winter, I get pissed on Australia day, I have a BBQ at least 3 times a week [...]
