Living in Taringa

Sorry about the lousy updating...

We've been keeping fairly busy, and are now living in Taringa with Stefan, Olga and Andre, sooo much closer to the city!

Our main "job" right now is applying for jobs, and, in Mick's case, going to interviews. I have so far not had any calls, but I'm waiting patiently.

Everything is getting settled, we've got our bank accounts and cards, we've gotten some furniture and life is getting back into normal mode.

I have a goal, to get out of the house for a bit everyday and do something I enjoy, and so far we've been doing good. 

On Tuesday we went for a long (9 km) walk into Southbank, in the middle of Brisbane. Wow, there are some steep hills around here! There we went to the man made beach, I thought it was soooo nice, Mick didn't really agree. So tomorrow we're going to the "real" beach!

Other days I've joined Olga to the mall, and for the last two days I've been running/jogging at the little oval near our house, it actually feels OK! Yay!

Yesterday we went for "late night shopping", the stores in the city stay open until 9 on Fridays, so we went in and had a look, shopped for some birthday presents, had dinner, and when Olga got off work at 9, went for dessert at the casino café.

Right now we're having pizza and I'm watching my first ever game of Australian Football, it's actually quite easy to grasp, a lot easier (and faster) then American Football!

I'll try to write some more tomorrow when we've been to the beach.

Bye for now!

It's great to see that you're having a good time. I miss you already!
My sister texted (do you spell it like that?) me yesterday and told me that her best friend is moving to Australia this november (but only for a month or two)...and of course it was to Brisbane!
Take care!
Kisses!
