Home

I got home for christmas for sure.
All the flights went great. At one point I think I might have almost enjoyed it?

I watched American Beauty three times. A very good movie indeed.

And now Im at home. Directly thrown into christmas. Our whole house is christmas decorated, inside out. There snow outside, its cold, we got a fire going and right now im in my bed with our lovely dog Freja (a black lab) who just loves yo cuddle you at night.

So strange to think that two days ago, I was in sunny melbourne and couldnt even think about it being christmas soon.

leaving

Im sitting at Tullamarine Airport waiting. Leaving in an hour. Right now i dont really understand why.
Im going to miss Australia bad.

moonlight cinema

Last night I went to the moonlight cinema in the Botanic Gardens with Will, Carla, Becka, Rob and Shan. A good group of people and it was great!

We had some wine and snacks and blankets to snuggle up under. Very nice.
The movie that was shown was Fantastic Mr Fox. It was sweet. Not as funny as they were trying to make it, i didnt think, but cute still.

Framtiden

Hello Hello.

So after much much going back in forth, I have decided to go back to Europe.
It is absolutly making me very sad to know that Im leaving all this here, but I feel like its the best decision right now.
Sort of like leaving on a good note. All the peope here… Im gonna miss them alot but it makes me feel so incredibly good to know that I have made some real, genuine. good friends here. And Im gonna miss not getting to explore Melbourne any further.
I guess I can always come back, and I really do plan to one day.
But im also excited about my new adventure. I have been offered a job in Reykjavík that I am really excited about. Its working for a family, where the mainjob is caring for their 8 month old boy. I love workig with children, and even though its what Ive been doing for the past 2 years, this feels like a whole new experience that I will be good at and enjoy even more thanks to previous experience.
The family sounds lovely and just yesterday I recieved an email with pictures of their two boys, which I thought was very welcoming.

So… now im just enjoying my last week here. SO strange to think that I have been here for 4 months and that it is now coming to an end. When i arrived and met all the lovely people and travelled around i thought it would never.

Yesterday me and Becky went to the South Melb. beach and it was a good day. Perfect temperature… i managed to burn my chest quoye badly though so today Ive been feelinh quite bad. Also, it was about 39 degrees today… too hot. Only as now as Im writing this… its 20.18 and 36 degrees. pjuuh.
I did make an effort to sit in the backyard for a while though, I told myself that Im probably gonna miss it when Im in the rain/wind in Iceland

So yes. People in Sweden, Ill see you around christmas and you folks in Iceland, Ill see you in january.

tonight

I was just at The East Brunswick Club to see Aleks and The Ramps + Why?

Im gonna miss melbourne so so much.

So i just spent an hour chillng at the Swedish Church of Melbourne.
I put up a note for nordicspeakih familys, that might ve looking for babysitters.
