We stayed for close to a week with our wonderful friends, Doug and Claudia, in Bondi. How we will ever repay them for their amazing hospitality, I do not know. They have made our settling into Sydney such a pleasure. Once again, we enjoyed the beauties of Bondi Beach in the sunshine - there's been a heat wave in Sydney so weather was perfect for walks.
Anyone seen my ferret? A sign in Bondi.
We left the comforting bosum of Bondi and moved to a short term appartment in Manly, close to where I will work. 30 seconds from the beach. Great waves for body surfing and endless coastal paths for rollerblading. Tough life in Australia!
Its going to be a bit of a culture shock when we try to buy a house in the future and need to move into the suburbian sticks with massive commutes!! But we are enjoying beach living to the max for now.
What a treat! We got to meet up with my friend and ex-colleague, Martin Palmquist, from Volvo in Sweden. He is here on a business trip and we got to see him in Brisbane too when he was there. Martin is a fellow blogger. We lay on the Manly beach, caught some great waves and then went rollerdlading. Great to see him - made me really miss all the Volvo folks. He brought some of my favourite Swedish candy (thanks for the suggestion, Caroline!) so I was in heaven.
Our first dinner party in our own place - ok, well maybe not qite a dinner party!
By the way, on the trip back to Sydney from Brisbane, we stayed in the Tally Ho Motel. Made me think immediately of Russel as this is one of his favourite Russel-isms. So there you go, Russel - Tally Ho is a place as well as a farewell greeting!

Hey G & A!
It was great to see you both in Brisbane and Sydney and thanks for dinner! I'm honoured to be the guest of your first dinner party. Roller blading around Manly beach was also special.
Cheers!
