Let´s just face it- when being away from home you sometimes start to miss the food you love. Or you start to think that you love the food but you can´t quite remember. And when it´s rather cold inside it´s a great idea to make rice porridge. So after going on a bit of a quest to find a rice that could substitute the norwegian stuff I ended up with risotto rice! Which turned out really good. We´re gonna make it a regular sunday dinner, I think. Who ever is ...

Hey everyone. Thanks for emails-they´re much appreciated! Keep ém coming! Another weekend has- well - ended. Without us going anywhere special. BUT we will! One day when the sun comes out for real and we can bare to be outside in bush like landscape without freezing like crazy, we will. Have started making plans already. I want to revisit the outback.

Caroline thought btw that we´d see snakes in the park. So we stomped our feet to keep her calm. I´m thinking the snakes wouldn´t be able to...

Hi all it´s been a while-but, hey settling in can be quite the straining task! We´ve been to Ikea. Did I mention the rushing through the store to pick up 2 beds, 2 matresses and a couch about 15 minutes before closing time??? Ikea closes at 7pm in Australia. hm. Well-to put it mildly, we were stressed. But we got our beds home in the massive car we´d rented (...check the video). It was quite entertaining driving that huge car. Yes-I´ve driven on the left h...
