Voor zij die Hapje Tapje in Leuven kennen, blijkbaar is er deze zondag iets soortgelijks in Hyde Park - op nog geen 5 minuutjes wandelen, juij, spek naar mijn bek ;-)
The biggest outdoor wine festival ever to be held in Sydney, Sunday March 9 from 11am-6pm. The Good Living Sydney Cellar Door will transform Sydney’s [...]

hopelijk zijn cadeautje & kaartje goed aangekomen ginds in België…

It took me a while to motivate myself to write all this down, but as we probably have to rerun the process all over again, I better do it now.
In Australia you mainly have, in my opinion, Ford, Toyota and Holden. If you want other brands you generally pay more. Holden is the ‘Australian’ brand, [...]

Made my day when his father sent me this! You can already tell with his charm and cute smile, my youngest nephew will be stealing the spotlight for many years to come (sharing it with his brother of course ;-).
Thank you Nico! Can’t wait to see them again in June!!!

And in this case it happened to be another car colliding into mine last Tuesday, causing it to spin across another lane onto the footpath.
Yes, I was involved in a car crash. And before you start making remarks about my driving skills: no, it was not my fault ;-) And yes I’m fine. Mostly.

Bram told you last time about the festivities of Australia Day! Much fun and sun to be had, as you can see for yourself:

It was great to have a long weekend together… [...]

Hallo allemaal, Bram spreekt weer tot u.
Yes! Eindelijk weer een beetje tijd! Zeker vandaag, de dag na Australia Day. Op deze dag wordt de stichting van de eerste nederzetting op het Australische vasteland herdacht in 1788. Dat was praktisch op de plaats waar nu het Opera House staat.
Er was hier vanalles te doen zoals [...]

Bought a new old car, very similar to its Belgian cousin, but with a color worthy of its neighbourhood (Bram can tell you more about that one :-) ). I haven’t named it yet… ideas always welcome of course!

Looking around for furniture (see the previous post)
Buying fridges off the street (and bargaining, [...]

The fun part of moving is… re-decorating! :-)
Having left our furniture behind in Belgium (the things worth keeping), we literally start afresh. No limits (I’d wish - time and money are the big party-poopers, as usual).
Soooooo, let’s start with Ikea. Sydney boasts to have the biggest of the southern hemisphere, funny enough [...]
