Finally a pair of wheels:)

Just a quick not, after 6 years living in Sydney without a car I finally decided that I needed one. So a couple of days ago I picked a 2009 Subaru Impreza hatch. Yes, I know... a hatch is a bit of a family wagon but then again I can fit all my sport gear, surfboards, dog and a whole lot more in it.

Chop-Chop

Loki has just turned 6 months and tomorrow he is going to be neutered. I assume he won't appreciate it as we will need to keep him out of the water for the next 10 days. Over the last couple of months we have been going to a small local beach so he can have a play in the water. As you can see, he is a water boy.

2010

As you might have noticed I have taken a fair break from my blog. So much have happened in the last few months and I must say that I am eager to find out what 2010 got to offer. I just came back from a longer christmas holiday in New Zealand. After working hard over the last year I felt like I deserved a break... and what a break I had :)

I took 10 days off during christmas and spent my time laying on the beach, surfing and eating some great food. In the photos below me and Camille were collecting mussels and oysters for that nights dinner. No food taste better than the one that you gather/fish or hunt yourself. Especially if the dinner consist of New Zealand green lip mussels and fresh oysters:)

Happy New Year... 2010 is going to be great.

Loki AKA LOCO

I was starting to sick of this grey and rainy weather but the other day the sun finally showed itself and Loki and I went to the park. Over the last few weeks, me and Camille have tried to get Loki used to water as both of us surf and loves being on the beach. Before the video you can see Loki had never seen water outside the shower. At 13 weeks it was time... This is what happened the first time he got found a fountain..

Loki maybe should be called Loco?

Garden Man...

Over the last couple of months I have tried to get our little "country house" in Darlinghurst in order. Dog, chickens and 8 gold fish. As the chickens ate a couple of plants I am now on the hunt for some chicken and dog proof plants.

In June I was home in Sweden. As we have been renovating the house for the last couple of years.... surely but slowly I decided it was about time to do something about the garden as well. I left this little "garden gift" to my parents before heading back to Aussie.

So back Sydney I am now considering what I can do to my own little back yard. I know it is a long shoot but if anyone knows of any chicken proof plants let me know:) I read something about lavender, peppermint and rosemary which would be great as my cooking would improve at the same time.

Here is a few photos during the making of the first veggie and flower bed... plus what it looked like a couple of months later.
