Still Moping Around Melbourne

Hejsan Svejsan,

Just a quick post to say I am still here at home in Melbourne, waiting for Her Royal Majesties government to grant me a work visa. It has been 6 weeks since i came home, and there is at least another 4 to go, and I have been lazier than ever, sitting at home selling stuff on eBay, trying to go regularly to the gym next door, slowly catching up with people. And feeling nostalgic for the forests and lakes of norther Sweden already!


And that's about it! I haven't been good with the photos, but here are a couple.

Mum and Dad

Aussie pizza - lots of toppings! That's what I was missing!

Skiing Hotham

In what has become a Terner family tradition, and will hopefully continue for some time, a visit from me in August means a ski trip. This time it was Hotham, and a warm, sunny, 5 days were spent on the slopes. Dad and I ski in the morning, and in the afternoon fetch Mum and Paul for some dragging around the flat. This time though, after a couple of days I suggested using cross-country skis so that they would have a bit of grip and could 'walk' up the small slope under their own steam, which worked a treat. Dad, hesitantly, attacked his first blue slopes, and I overcame my fear of diving into the mountain again shoulder first, so there were improvements all round.

Almost no snow fell, but one night there was massive wind and some fine snow which led to the beautiful icicle patterns seen in the pics. But the +5 to +9oC days meant it didn't last till lunchtime.
