Manicure, lobsterparty, Diplomas and Bird Park another exciting week in paradise....

Hi again!
 First off all I would like to say THANKS to everybody that have commented on my blog. It's great to read and it means a lot to me because it shows that you think and care about us and take time to read all the "gobiligoo" that I write. I hope you all feel our love to you all, as we want so much to share our experiences with you all. We wish you where here.....

OK, where do I start this time, well for you who has fb maybe know about the bet I did with my friends and neighbours. I was to show them that I could grow my nails long and paint them red.... And for me to do that, They had to look after plants from me, to nourish and care for meanwhile we are away, and the one that has the best looking plant when we get back has missed (love) us most...  :-)

Well grow them long has been no problem for me, they grow like weeds. But painting them red......Haven't managed that yet. But I went for a manicure and got them done for the lobsterparty that Davie and me where going to. Result.....

They aren't black! It's a dark blue/green base with the white flower. My dress is also blue green thats why the coloure.

I feel very posh, I must say, and the manicure it self was "fab". Next time I will do a pedicure too! At the cost of 150 sek for the whole nail job one can treat oneself to it ever so often...:-). The red will come later, I still have time to do my part of the bet...

Now the swedish lobsterparty was great! Loots of good lobsters and other food, the snaps was cold, the beer and wine kept beeing filled up all night, one can't complaine. We sang swedish snaps songs and danced to ABBA (well I didn't dance, but next year I will!)

Me ready for the party, took the Aircast off for the occasion..

Talking about food, weel whent shooping again, as one does, but it's a totally different experience here than home. A lot of the veggies are hard to know what they are for and how to prepare. And sometimes its not easy to get someone to explain how and what. Even when they explain someetimes you just smile and say, OK, beacuse you don't still know what its all about!

 This is White Radish, a little bigger than our red radish....

What this is I still don't know as it only is writen in Chinees on it. I do think it is a Japanees vegetable. The research is ongoing...

Now, this is not food from the shop, but some peolpe eat it so I thought it would fit in here. Now this snail I saw near our flat. It was 6 cm long and 4 cm high, it is the biggest snail I have seen in the wild, amazing I think...

Talking about food that people eat! Davie came home the other day and told us about one of the students at his work that sat next to him that day eating lunch, and do you know what he eat???? Cooked Tarantula! His mum had cooked it last night for him.....Its a poisnus spider........The world is throwing away mountains of good food every day and someone choose to eat Tarantula! gbnhg!

Well we had a nice experience me and the boys when we yeasterday went to the Jurong Bird Park. It was amazing with all the beautiful birds. I let the pictures speak for them self.

The bridges up in the air amongst the birds...African village with real looking statues..

Feeding the birds was a real highlite, the boys loved it! The Bottle tree was great to see too!

Well we have got a really nice maid living with us, she is soooo well organized! It put my messy mind to shame. The flat is now always tidy, clean and organised. She is funny, kind and good to the boys. She had her Birthday on her first day with us so we had to by her a cake and celebrate it with her. It was a great start to her. Her name is Myriam and she is from the Phillipines. She plays basketball and vollyboll in her spare time.

Well folks I think thats all for this time. We miss you all and we whised you could all be heare with us sharing our experinces. Because they are great.

I almost forgott the most important news this week! Tim came home last friday day after he spent a couple hours at the swedish school which he thought was great, as he got to meet other swedish children. They are 15 in his class... But the next thing he told me got my soft spot proud so the tears came. He had a school assembly in the morning and he got a DIPLOMA for best homework studies, best listner and other things! Can you believe that!!!!

Know Take Care!
