Tyvarr sa har jag inte varit sa flitig med fotandet pa sistone sa det har ar allt jag har. Vi var pa svensk julfest igar. Det var kul och jag traffade pa en kille jag kanner fran Vasteras som jag inte sett pa 15ar. Varlden ar ibland inte sa stor.

Layla har varit sjuk idag med feber sa jag blir hemma imorgon. Har hunnit att handla klart nastan alla julklappar i trangseln pa Chermside som ar ett av Australiens storsta shoppingcenter. Pust. Kram, Agneta

Unfortunately I haven't taken many photos recently. Went to a Swedish Christmas party yesterday which was fun. Bumped into a guy a know from home that I hadn't seen for more than 15 years. It is a small world.

Layla got sick this afternoon with a temperature so I will stay home tomorrow. Before she got sick, we spent most of the day at Chermside shopping centre. Thank goodness we almost finished our christmas shopping. Phew. Cheers, Agneta X

Efter den regnigaste november pa 111 ar sa har regnet i december ocksa fortsatt. Fast jag maste erkanna att jag tycker det ar ratt skont. Det ar ju anda varmt men inte sa svetthett som det brukar vara. Vi hade svensk julfest forra helgen sa har kommer lite kort fran det. Annars har jag inte tagit sa mycket kort. Jag kanner mig ratt trott, inte for att jag ar gravid men for att jobb som alla vet tar musten ur en vid den har tiden pa aret. Ha det gott. Kram, Agneta

After the wettest November i 111 years December has so far also been just as wet. But I have to admit that I am quite enjoying the nice warm to not sweaty weather.
