Paris-sirap

Hi there, sunday today and we´ve had summer in the air.
Yesterday it was my first partynight in Melbourne. That was fun! And in the day before the partynight I and Johanna were playong on IKEA...xD hihih. Than we visited were she lives and the family and after that we got ready for a night out with McDonalds! Than we were about 8 girls that met up in the city and went out to dance...;)
So it also was the first time someone wanted to invite me for dinner... to eat chokolatepizza(!?) and wanted my number and everything.. but unfortunatley I´d forgotten my number, or I don´t know it.. so no, I thanked NO!  I got on the last train and tram home at last in the night, so I got home...but on the walking way from the tram til the house I stopped at a playground to go on a swing and look at the stars in the night.. then I came home, drank a glass of Milo and went to bed.  So I had a good day!

Today; I had a sleep in til about 11 am and so...after breakfast went out to meet Isabelle and Johanna for spending the day with them. We had a lot of fun , haha! And we were walking around in a royal botanical garden in the sun, ate "lunch", and went to the building that was built for soldiers from the worldwar and in the front of that building they had a fire that always is burning... ;) you´ll see some pictures later.

Have a good day now I´m going to eat icecream.
:)

Friday

Hi! I´ve been in melbourne for 6 weeks and 1 day now!!! :D wohooo
That´s celebrated with a skype call with Lisa ;) NICE TO SEE YOU :)
And now I´ve also been at skype with my sweet folks! Aaawesome .

Earlier today I´ve also been in the city with a girl for a lunch. That was really nice, we had much to talk about as usual which is great. Her name is Johanna and she is going to leave Melbourne soon for backpacking for 2 months in Australia.
Then I got home and played with playdooh(?) with the kids. And this night I´m babysitting so I´ve been eating pizza and some candy...yummy.

Awesome, I liked this day!
Goodnight sweethearts! <3

The sun shines on me today!

So, I think that Sweden and Australia has different weights at the gym! Or I´ve been stronger...but no. In the gym here I can lift 25kg at the machines and in Sweden I think I thought it was heavy to lift 15 Kg?! Yeye, we´ll see when I get back. :D.
When I got home from the gym I made some pasta in a tomatosauce and for desert: a glas of Milo.
Oh, and earlier this week I tasted Frozen yoghurt ... not my thing!At all. So ice cream is good for me.
Oh speaking of earlier.. the other night I had a dream: that I was going back to Sweden, but at the airport...somewhere. I took the airplane back cause I changed my mind, and I really had that feeling that I not would like to go home yet when I woke up. Weird cause When I read my mail the day after Bea had dreamt about me coming home as blonde. Hahaha, dreaming...can be a little weird sometimes. Hair...I would like to cut my hair, but I think I´m going to change my mind when I´ve done it..I don´t know how I´m gonna do. What do you think?



:)

Another Wednesday

...After a pizza and a birthdaycake (delicious) you are pretty full, I can tell you.
So, today it´s been curtis´ 6th b-day and we´ve been celebrating him with dinner, presents and I and Nat made a cake this afternoon a "train-cake", it didn´t look like it in the and...but it was. That´s the point isn´t it?;)
The sun has also been here today, but 2degrees in the morning is still pretty cold. But it got warmer later in the day and we had no snow(as in other parts of the world has in the winter) or rain.

I feel like it´s going to be a real party this weekend, fun! :) We´ll se what happens.

Goodnight!

Tuesday in a gray town called Melbourne.

Hi people!

Hope everything is good.....OH I see the sun shine a bit now!
The kids are out and playing and I feel like going to the gym, but than I have to walk to the gym in the cold weather. Big problems ;)... Okay?

Oh hey, I´ve found "lösgodis" in this town , when I saw it I got so happy...I baught less than a half candybag with the good stuff and than I waas going to pay : $12! (80 spänn!!) Can they really do that to me? Whoot! yäyä. So now every single candy is precious at the moment!  But the candy tastes really fresh and good so I have to eat it before it gets old...

Tomorrow Curtis turns 6 yrs old and I have bought a gift for him as well. Good for him :).
And this Saturday I think it´s going to be utgååång for some aupair girls so I think I´ll stick with them :) Funny!

Pics of Sydney coming later when I´ve time to get them into my pc.
Have a good day now I have to go to the gym.
:) Seeya

Rain

Hi there! Now I´m home in Melbourne again after four days in Sydney. We had really bad weather with heavy rain, wind and cold. But we´ve had a good time anyway! I´ve got so much to tell but don´t know where to start because I know I´m going to forgett to tell you about something, but I can always tell you something cause that´s better than nothing.

I´ve now seen the OperaHouse,the bridge,SYDNEY :D. We had a really nice apartment at the hotel with a view over the big city;Sydney...Really NICE from the 74th floor. They had a pool and a jacuzzi in the hotel... I´ve also done some shopping and walked around along the streets of Sydney, in the rain.

Because of the weather I didn´t get that many pictures of Sydney that I would have if it was sunny but I´ve got some pictures that I´m going to show you later.

In the airplane the steward/stewardess did that" thing" that you see in movies which was really funny to see in real. HAHA, I´m easy to entertain.

Today I think I´m going to do nothing just stay in bed, read a book, take a shower... have a cozy Sunday at home and get some rest.

Marléne :)

Nästa hållplats, Sydney!

Today it´s been kind of a busy day, been working, to the gym and tried their Sauna after the gympass, baked a choclate "mudcake" when I got home everybody liked it! Maybe because it´s my old recepie from sweden, or me ;P. I think it tasted almost the same as home, but now it´s a Aussiemudcake.

Than I´ve worked some more and today we had a good chicken salad for dinner. Now I´ve been packing my bag for sydney. Great! Hope it´s going to be fun.

Have a good night now I´m going to get some sleep for the early morning tomorrow. So I´m writing when we are back in Melbourne next time( Sunday).

Xoxo

Bboottom...

...it´s so sore from the body pump. and it was 2 days ago. yeah. sure!

So I have to tell you that I went to the church yesterday in a cinema...that was a new thing...! And I´ve never even been to a church-service in a real church before...  But it was funny and kind of interesting to hear peoples thoughts about life. The lyrics to songtexts were on the screen were it is supposed to be a movie, like 100 persons in the saloon and everybody stand up and sang, some people raised their hands in a very funny way... And they had a live band singing and so. It was quite a lot of things that the pastor said that I didn´t agree with when a man who sat behind me was like "YES!!!! YEAH LOOORD!...." :D it was a little bit funny I think too:D  It was a angelican church(christian) if you wounder about it.
After that Me and Johanna(the girl I went to the church with) met up with another girl and ate some lunch and discussed ...hmm...life? :D everything and nothing .
You know people I think I´ve been starting to think about things, that´s cool now I can think so much that my brain might be overheated. Ofcourse not about boring schoolthings, just about things that´s funny!
-----


Today I´ve been working(been kissed, licked and attacked) and we´ve also been to High point. It´s kinda gray day today so I´m not gonna go out if I don´t need to.. maybe take a powernap in the afternoon.

This Wednesday we´re flying to Sydney til saturday night. And on Thursday I´ve been here in Australia for a month!! Unbelievable.

SE YOU :D

Saturday- c-rcrazy gooddayymate!

Hi people! It´s saturdaynight over here right now and I´ve been out in the city all day with good people.

First in the morning I ate breakfast, than I went to Body pump with Nat which was fun and a bit hard because I´m not so strong. A little bit more "go" than "friskis", haha. More go in the music( which was a little too loud cause you almost couldn´t hear the leader who spoke in a mic.) and maybe more of a "go" in the leader too. Yes, I´m going to go there to a class when I´ve got time cause I think it is really funny to work out with other people.

After the Bodypump, I went down to city to meet Johanna and Hanna. But Johanna was about 1 hour late so I and Hanna took a train in to another "inner part" of the city and found a place to eat at with Johanna. When we´d eaten we met up with two other new girls too; Anja and Louisa, two nice girls and also from Sweden (hehe). So we hang out the rest of the afternoon til we was going to watch a movie at the cinema on Crown Casino, a place with a great view over the city. To the cinema I went with only Johanna and Hanna, we had a great time, watching "The hungover 2", and of course lots of talk... And I´ve tried some new aussie cookies ; Tim Tams! Good is the word for that. And oh, I forgot, we had a coffee at Starbucks this afternoon too. Coffee is still not my favourite so I tried a caramel mocchiato..wasn´t my favourite either...

You know what I´m going to do tomorrow, guys? :D


Picture from outside of Crown.

 I´m going to a "church service" in a cinema in town with one of the girls! Hahah, I´ve never thought about being on church-stuff in a Cinema in Australia!? How crazy, but I think It´s a one thing you have to do in your life if you get the chance :D!
 I think it´s going to be fun if they are going to preach about that funny subject we talked about today as she said they were going to! So I´m going to loose my long sleepin tomorrow, but I´ll maybe have it later in the day! Think it´s going to be a lot of fun tomorrow too.

See ya! :)

So, this is winter?

I was out for a "phototrip" here the other day and took some pictures at the nature...almost like thw winter in Sweden, don´t you think so? ;)


I´ve been to the gym one time for you who didn´t know. I think it seems like I´m going to feel comfortable there. Today I and Nat are going on a Bodypump pass :) we´ll see how good I´m on that..
And later today I´m going to meet another aupair girl for lunch in the city and tonight ; go to the movies!
So I believe this day is going to be fun.

Now I´m going to eat some beakfast!
Have a good day!

Just came to say hello.

today I´ve been working all day, almost exhausted ;) . In other words I´ve been playing, feeding and cleaned today.  We played some magic games, hide and seek, was painting, watching tv,played soccer, bathed,eaten and been baking.

 And I´ve been thinking the thought: "OH, SO nice to not have to study!". Because some au pairs choose to study while they are here, but I´m so happy I don´t. So nice to just do almost whatever you want on your free time after 3 years at Soltorg. Go to bed with no homeworks that has to be done, no worries about school-stuff.

Tomorrow I think I work as usual again and are free between 10-15, than I can go to the Gym. The gym also have like "friskis& svettis- workout" and this weekend I´m going to try " Body Combat" or maybe "body attack" or maybe "Zumba" the first two both seems fun though. And next week I´ll try the Spinning and maybe some Body Balance. We´ll see how it turns out.

Now,`I´m gonna watch some TV with the rest of the family and than I´m going to read a book that I´ve started.  Have a good night!

It´s not about the money.

Ciao!

Today I´ve got my boots that I ordered for two days ago!! They are so soft, nice and warm I would call it an investment in the future and this winter in Australia.

My own boots.

So this day have been kind of long, but nice anyway. I haven´t done so much, been reading, working, eating...
 Now I´m going to bed, goodnight people see you!

In, not down.

-Okey!

Today I´ve got to tell you that I´ve started a membership at a gym  called Fitness First. I was there and talked to a guy in 1 hour this afternoon and got "good prices" and so, the thing is if I´m going to hire a PT(personal trainer) cause they had something, and if you were going once a week in 12 weeks I´m supposed togoing to get the money back. But the thing is ; with 3 kids in the same house I don´t think I´m going to be able to stay well from colds and such things, and might get interrupted in my 12 weeks training... so I don´t know. How would you do? I have to get decided like tomorrow. Worth it?

 I´m so good keeping myself in fit with my diet ( chocolate, salad, french fries.....) HAHA. Oh, I was laughing SO har when the guy I was talking to at the gym was talking about starting a diet and loose weight and you know that crap?! I was just like: "ehmmm.. I just wanna be the way I am, stay "fit" and workout in a healthy way. NOT WITH ANY DIETS! :D That wouldn´t be me at all. Í just wanna work out for fun, alright?! Ahhg. And than he did get a PT that I could talk to about my goals... " I don´t have any goals, I just wanna stay healthy and have fun", I said...They were so disapointed in all of my answeres I think..! HAHAH . That´s the way it is, I´m comfortable the way I am and if someone doesn´t believe me; I don´t care. Than Fu** you! Lol :P Aparts from that, the gym, personal and everything seemed really nice, big and nice .
...So that was the funny part of this day..:D Ofcourse I went for the mall and bought some Mars and chips after I´d been to the gym and talked to the guys. Haha...! And I got a bag and a waterbottle for "free" that I picked up after I´d bought my chips :D! (hahahah, so much fun, as I said, you should be here and pass through every fun detail).
Tonight nat did really good food it was some kind of meat with tomatoes and feta-cheese, oregano and stuff... as always I´m the slowest eater but but... I´ve got an excuse; I´m from Sweden!

Oh about yesterday; We were at the other families house 45 min away because of all traffic...and on the way home the little girl threw up when we had about 25 min left. I´d forgot how bad it smells like, but now I know again! Poor Kaylee :( .
Oh buy the way, at the other families house their son fired up Mitchells´ sock in the fireplace...I think he got quite depressed , xD so there was some funny moments there too.

Have a good night! Now I´m going to drink some water and go to bed. I´m too full for chips today anyway.
Enjoy!

If you say sOoO!

S-a-t-u-r-d-a-y!

Some new words I´ve learned ( as far as I´ve understood it all) :
Bloke (man)
G´day mate!
Singlet (linne)
thongs ( -flipflops)
Footy (aus fotboll)'
Good on ya (bra gjort)
Drongo (korkad person)
Bathers (badkläder)
.... and lots of more.
So after meeting some new persons(friends of the family) and lots of good food I´m delighted to say it´s been another good day!
Today after been babysitting this morning, I went to High Point for shopping myself some warmer clothes.. And I got what I wanted, a warmer sweater(like a jacket and a warm sweate). That´s all. Lol. After that I´d been at the center for like 3 hours and got hungry, so I ate some fish and chips for the first time in my life. They said that it was ging to be good, but, I don´t know. It was fish!! Haha. No but it was ok, just a little too fried for me both the fries and the fish and than a weird tartar-sauce. Not my thaaang. As I said, I was in the mall to eat it and it´s many resturants to choose from, like the place in sthlm you know...lots of people..? So I sat down myself, started to eat, read a book... but ended up sitting next to two other guys after a while (they invited themself to sit and eat with me). So they were nice. We talked about such things as food, sweden, work and I-phones.

After that I went to the gym across the road and talked to a girl about the activities there and so on...got some notes about price and fitnessclasses... then I walked across the road again(at the same house as the shoppingcenter, to the gym there. But the one who set prices and studd weren´t there..? weeeird, so I have to go back to that place too and se what I can get out of it. Cause I´m thinking about starting at some fitness classes and meet new people and so and start to get stronger because I feel that I´m going to need it if I´m going to carry the children around now and than.
So I might fix that tomorrow after we´ve been to a lunch at another new familys house.

Kids are doing the funnyfaces, so cute! ;)

See you later!

Babysitting Friday!

Good evening! The clock is now 22.21pm and I´m sitting in my bad and have been skyping with my mum and dad a moment ago. Today it´s been like my third Friday here in Australia, record, I´ve never been here for so long before! xD ( because I´ve never been here...?). I´m great! I´m so good at "living right now" so I haven´t missed Sweden too much, almost nothing yet. Or Sweden...the people is the thing you should miss, but I´ve great people around here so I´ll survive this more than well I´ve decided for a long time ago.

This day have been like a Friday. I´ve worked a usual day and some more, but I like it so it doesn´t matter, I´ve done it cause I´ve chosed it by myself of course! And, I´ve been babysitting some extra now at the night and for some hours tomorrow. They are kids and very entertaining sometimes...oh you should be here, haha! :D

Tomorrow after I´ve been babysitting I´ve decided to go on a sweater-trip to the mall nearby. I just have to have a warm sweater, and the boots I was talking about earlier I have to order. In the night some friends of my ausfamily are coming for dinner tomorrow too. Well well.

Tomorrow´s tomorrow and today is tonight.Tonight I´ll get some sleep, can be good for tomorrow.

Oh, btw, I´ve a new phonenumber now which is great but no money on the phone yet...for the first time in my life.

...So no kängrus today either ;)!

´Goodnight!

V.I.P - Marléne ;)

Hiii! (Haj).
Zo,todai is veri good dai. Beckås I´m feelin´ zo, SO much beter! Just feel that I have got a little sore throat. ( Detta ska läsas med dålig engelsk dialekt). Tyckte det var lite längesedan jag gjorde så så var dags nu. :P
Annars?

Länge lever livet.

So today, I and Nat have been cooking a lot from 2pm (this afternoon)...till I don´t know when. Because They did celebrated their 5th year anniversary (hmm...didn´t sound right...but but..). So we did Paella with prawns,chicken, beans, mushrooms and so on... and also a pumpkinbread and of course a dessert; cupcakes with a chocolate "bottom"(?) and the usual things and berries on top. Good.
So, tomorrow I start working at 10AM, so it´s time to hit the sheets!

This is a picture of my room and I´m sleeping in the middle of the bed nowdays...it would be a waste of space if I just laid on one side.

This is my room from another view (to the left it´s just windows).

So , now I´ve been really kind and showed you my room!

Lisa and Frida : Inga kängurur ännu, de verkar inte finnas här i stan, så det kommer nog dröja ett tag innnan det dyker upp en bild på en livslevade känguru! Bara så ni vet ;)

Så för att ni nu ska kunna ha en bra daag måste ni:

•  Knacka på golvet så att jag kan höra er.
• dricka té upponer på huvudet
• slicka på golvet
• be till mig
• offra till er gud (mig såklart)
• ha en massa kul
• cutta av er ett finger när ni hackar pumpa
• klia er på stjärten och slicka er på näsan.

Sen kan ni sova gott om natten med ett gott samvete.

Ville bara påpeka det så att ni vet!!

And to you who doesn´t understands, don´t try to. It´s complicated ;).


Xoxo

Ciao!

Hej!

Now, I´m sorry to tell you, but I´ve started to get sick. I woke up 04.00 this morning with a headake, sore throat and freezing. :( I´ve been infected by the other sick ones in this family. Great.. the first bad thing over here...but I´m soon getting well again. That´s life my friends!
I´ve heard that you had a great time at P&L, that sounds amazingly( does this word even exist?) great!

Now I´m going to rest for a while.
 Just so you know it´s always fun with your nice comments guys, thank you. I´m going to get better at take photoes and show you...the thing is that I´ve got the photoes but it´s so complicated to put them in is PC! Gaaah.
But here are two that I didn´t take:

Here is a picture of my choclate fondue that I had the other day anyways... SO good!

A picture that Hanna (took?) ; Isabelle, Johanna &little big Me.


Seee you later !

Sunday-

Today I´ve been out in the city with a new girl, Emelie.  That was nice! So after another day in the city I´ve bought a new wallet.  My old was so old and it was a "snoopy-wallet". I guess my new wallet can take some more money than my last. FFresh.
So Now I´ve one thing less on my shoppinglist. The things that I´ve on my list now is a pair of Uggs(seems so nice to have a pair really comfty shoes now, since we´ve shoes inside). And also a warm nice doublet since it´s kind of cold inside and outside.

The swedish food yesterday was tasty : swedish meatballs with creamsause and salad and for desert the best applecake I´ve eaten so far. So thats good grades from me.
And today: TACOS! :D MmmmMMmmmmM! Best invented food ever the person who invented it should have the Nobel Price!

So this day has also been good. It was rain for the first time here, since I got here though. So I had a good use for my rainjacket...

Goodnight from Australia! :)

In the city!

Hi, today I went to the big city here in Melbourne and met 3 girs, also aupairs from Sweden! It was really nice to talk some sweeeeedes, meet some new people and at the same time see the town. The girls came from the "south" part of Sweden and have been from like 8 moths to 2 weeks.
We met at Flinders street station it´s called and when we had found eachother we went for a walk through a little part of the city. That was so good that two of them had been here for long and already get to know this town so that we didn´t get lost.

So we grabbed a Australian Mcdonalds( just had to try), hahahha! Oh..... and I...bought a weird meal. it was like for two persons!!! hahah, oh we had a lot of fun about that. So we got finished I had like half of the frenchfries and one hamburger left, (the girs helped me to eat the 10 chikens). Hahahah.  So the one hamburger that was left we gave to a homeless guy that sat on the street and studied the bible I think it was ..! He didn´t seem to enjoy the burger cause when we looked back it was away from the street( think he put it in his bag for later maybe.. xD ) .

 We walked around the streets and come to a choclate café, a real nice one! Me and one of the girls shared a choclate-fondue with strawberries, cause it was quite expensive and cause we still were satisfied with the burgers from McDonalds! So we had a good time together and we are maybe going to see a movie next week," The hungover 2".

The travels with the tram to and from the city went great!!! Wow! And in the way back I talked with a lady and her husband from Sydney.... nice ones, after a while when they´d left I talked to a guy sitting behind me he seemed nice too, but little weird anyway :D ,always fun!...  So if we sumarise this day it´s been great! But it isn´t over yet, much can still happen. Some friends of Nat and Damon is comming over for dinner this evening.
Hope you´re going to have a good day too.


Now, Damon is going to do some swedish meatballs (haha) and than Nat is going to do a swedish applecake. We´ll see how it turns out. Think it´s going to be delicious anyway!
