this is for my near and dear ones to follow what I am up to during the day! Pictures and comments of the little things my day involves.

This is the building that we live in in unit 408, 4th floor 08 apartment. As you can see we are just beside a lovely park, that we have to visit the next time P (you) come home. Take our blanket (which I am going to wash after the little incident of wine spilling and ant attack) and drink some nice wine (Though surrounded by some kind of ant repellent and smother ourselves with mosquito repellent, definetly!)

This is the way into the building and security number 1, by the entry door there is a little unit to enter a 4 digit code. It is the easiest code in the world 2580 (borja med tva och folj hela vagen ner, testa pa mobilen sa fattar nig :)

If you are a guest, you can push the button for the apartment in which we live in and we can let you in (man behover faktiskt inte mota dem som kommer utan inne i lagenheten finns en liten maskin, ser ut som en telefon och den ger ifran sig ett ringande ljud, da lyfter man luren och trycker pa knappen sa kan gasten komma in!)

When you got through the first security then comes the entrance, it looks like this. P and I noticed that at the time he was coming home the car-taker had taken all the old flowers away and planted new ones (man kan se att precis utanfor dorren sa finns det tva rader langst med den pyttelilla bron) I believe it was supposed to be a greeting present though still no flowers has grown.

This is what first greets you when entering the building, hundreds of post boxes! See mom its it not so easy to fit in any packages there, they are always sent to the post office! Our box is in the second department at the top of the fourth row.

Finally you have the 2nd security check here you have to use your magnetic card and make it touch the little black box just beside the door. Then elevators as you can dimly see through the glass.

A minor introduction of our apartment block, I personally think it is a very nice building (you are always met by the smell of the dinners by all different kinds of people, mainly Indians, so you are always feeling hungry when you come in!)

Now to a bit of the surroundings, Victoria Park is the town were we live in. It is kinda small but very wide, it covers a few kilometers in length and is surrounded by houses and apartment blocks everywhere. But the shops and restaurants are mainly located on the main road running through it Albany Highway (Albany Ajwaj, haha)

I take this moment to salute my new shoes, after being returned and exchanged to a bigger size they are now my best friends, so nice to walk and run in and when you are walking quite a distance to the shop it is nice to do it in shoes that makes you feel like you are walking on air!

This is a very nice spanish inspired house that is nearly the first thing I see everyday leaving my apartment for the bus or for food shopping. It kind of stick out a bit to all the Aussie houses that you see.

This is further down our street and the park that I mentioned earlier is just at the right in this picture. 

What you see here is a normal bus stand in Perth suburbs. If it is not on a main road it looks like this...! Its amazing since coming from Sweden where there is no sand and no busses that needs to be hailed (man maste hejja till sig bussen nar den kommer annars passerar den dig, detta har hant till mig, kanns ganska tufft att bli dissad av en buss full med manniskor... )

I pass this church every time I go to Victoria Park center, and I think it reminds me a bit of Italy/Spain/Greece (?) Anyway you come to realise when you move away from Europe that sometimes anything that is from there reminds you of home. It is amazing that Europe people you meet in Australia they can all talk together as they come from one country!

This is a bit of the center of Victoria Park the main road Albany Highway (...haha) runs just to the left in this picture and goes on for quite sometime! If you follow the road down this way you come to Perth city via a bridge that runs over Swn River (10min by car)

It is barely readable but behind the "massive" tree is a sign for Woolworths (som ICA men, med farskare grejjer, och mycket dyrare!) which is were the two of us now, yes hun I got it too :D, have a rewards card (typ som Ica kortet, fast vi kan tjana poang pa fyra olika affarer och det kan sen bli forvandlat till flyg poang, som SAS (shoppar som satan nu for att kunna komma hem gratis, 1 dollar=1poang man behover ca 56000 poang for att komma fran Perth till London.... insag precis att det var ganska maktigt... Men vi har ju en stund pa oss)) Hopefully we will have points for some of the trip home at least. And we can link the two separate cards (P's and mine) so that we can gather points together!!

Here you can actually see the "woolw" in the top right corner and you can slightly see the the "Gloria Jean's" sign which is like Starbucks to the Aussies, I have to admit it is very nice, everything is so fresh and clean!

On the way home I could not help to take a picture of this sign, guess what it reminds me of hun? Yes, FRANKY :D I miss him soo my little Fjankyy. Hope he is doing well at home and not acting like this picture tells!!!

Here is another thing that really makes me wonder of the logic thinking of Aussies... Letterboxes that does not fit a newspaper... It does rain here so why would you...? I do not understand, besides some of the boxes I pass has all their contents blown all over the place, like important letters and stuff. No thank god for Swedish (...and Irish) logic to make them big enough and nearly all the time a lock on! (I mean seriously people, go to (lovely) IKEA and get a nice robust thing!)

Poor 17, I hope for his sake that he is not interested in the newspaper at all. Maybe thats why it looks like this... Most likely!
