We love…

After a 50 hour work week Nathan and I enjoyed the last sunny hour of the week together in one of our favourite parks in front of our door step. Bold Park, Zamia trail, sunset watching deluxe:

Enjoying quiet time far away from civilisation (jokingly…we’re just around our house, but in distance from Perth’s busy CBD)

Enjoying beauty and the sky

Enjoying togetherness (oh yeah, I look tired after my 50 hour work marathon)

Enjoying deliciousness

Enjoying relaxing moments (An die Familie: es ist immer noch tiefster Winter. :P)

Enjoying winter or almost spring flowers

Loving sunsets in Perth
“Our beach” just a spit from our house

Sunset watching cow’lady in the dunes

Sunset surf

Sun down moon up

Yay, we have sold our heater. Yay, the cold winter that we haven’t had yet has just arrived with a cold front and one or the other shower.

Bad timing for being without a heater but good the other way, because we sold the heater for more than we thought we would get.

But,

no one will understand, how missy now survives the cold in down under.

I thought I write it down. Just for the records. For later, to remember, when I look back to those cold days in the hot country.

When I am about to go to bed, I throw my pyjama’s into the dryer on the hot setting. While waiting for the clothes in the dryer I am standing in the freezing bathroom (wearing a hat, some kind of fleece pullover and definitely long socks) with the running hair dryer pointed at me while brushing my teeth.

About 5 to 10 minutes later I stop the clothes dryer and get my pj’s out and quickly put them on. I basically jump into them. Ahhhhh so nice and warm! I ruuuuun into bed to keep the heat coming of the pj’s for as long as possible. The bed is freeeeezing cold. I pull the two blankets up to my nose and dream of the next hot summer where we sleep naked while having two fans pointed at our bed, STILL sweating our bums off, and not able to fall asleep because it is just too hot!

A nice thought, when you can’t feel your toes or the tips of your fingers, even though you’re under two thick blankets and you wear a fleece pullover over your pj’s and even a hat (!) as your night gown.

Bye bye heater, hope you have a nice new home!

Nothing is free? Oh yes, this (music) is

All Smiles (guitarist from Grandaddy & Modest Mouse) is giving away a free album. A friend of mine posted this on facebook and I was curious but sceptical as usual. The download took about half an hour with my slow connection, but in the end you really get the whole album. They want you to “like” them on facebook (which I didn’t because I wanted to know if it really works and if I really like it). In a nutshell: I like their album. Good music! What is really free these days…okay, they might collect some data, but I’m not sharing my profile info with them, as I didn’t “like” them although I like their music. Making sense? Well…go for the free album if you haven’t got it yet or if you want to have some new music for free. I can really recommend it. Inspected and trusted by missycola.

When this screen comes up only click on “Download Now” and ignore the twitter and facebook stuff if you don’t feel sure about it.

Today a little picture quiz

This is a though one. Even my needed a looong minute to solve this. Good luck! The ones who already know…

There is the saying, where one shall not praise certain situations (like the great dry and sunny winter we had so far)…or they will turn into the opposite. Yeah well. There it is now – the rain finally found Perth and thought it left us soaking for two days now. I know we really needed it, but you know, I shouldn’t have said something about the very nice weather we had all winter. I’m working this weekend (Saturday) and am invited to a baby shower on Sunday, and have lots of home work to do, so I guess I won’t be spending much time outside this weekend anyway. Ok, let it rain Perth. You really need(ed) it!
