Australia Day

Biip Biip Biiiip!!! 5.30am -the alarm went off, great. . .
My first night in my new bed, not too bad really, quite smaller from my previous bed but charming indeed. A little Purple, pink, flowerish patchwork planket that makes you feel like a princess (: I could get used to this.

I've already packed all my stuff out and settled, after Bronwyn and little miss Tayla droped me off yesterday morning. I spent rest of the day -of course unpacking and watching movies with Lucy. Anne's patchwork/Quilt group came over after dinner and sat for some hours. It's amazing what they actually can do. My new home is covered with the most beautiful blankets, pillows etc Anne made -she's gonna teach me the art of patchwork eventually! But anyhow, had a little chat to some of the ladies, it actually ended up being quite late.

But anyhow here I am and it's Australia day! Which is? ? :O
well we don't excatly have Denmark day at home, but I was about to find out what the whole idea was about. My new parents, Lucy and I drove to the Wollongong area, heading for the beach, leaving at 7am we didnt expect it to be packed already, but clearly other people had the same plan as us!
Crowds of people all along the coast with tents, BBQ's, music, blankets, Australia Bikinis, Australia hats, Australia tattoos, Australia everything. No doubt about why it's called Australia day!

Normally celebrated as a relaxing day. People get work of and spend the day with family and friends, apparently there's concerts in the city as well and yer heaps of stuff to do! :)

They had promised like 42-45 degrees but surprisingly the weather was rather misty, not cold around 25-30 but a bit creepy kind of weather. Lucy and I quickly found our way into the nice cool water and pretty much spend the rest of the day jumping over the massive waves that came our way! In the end it cleared up and when we reached the mountains on our way home the temperature reached 37 degrees! Kinda happy we didnt stay in the mountain area, I would have melted then!
