Tutunup diaries vol 11: so this is Christmas

10 days too early but who cares, there is no snow nor cold what usually reminds me it's actually christmas (not that I'd miss it), so it might as well be now. Today we celebrated like it is customary to celebrate in OZ and loved every minute of it.

Tutunup diaries vol 10

Friday at work went by like a breeze, the miracle new kinda job does! We are now trimming the grape bunches, positioning and cutting off the tails. At times, they are like huge puzzles there tangled all together on the bush. That's where I came out with an idea in my head, that it resembles deactivating a bomb, deciding which wires to cut and all. Today I was still sleepy and while untangling a big bundle, dropped my scissors, when picked them up, a proper fountain hit us, they had fallen straight into a tube. (I guess you can call that an explosion in my deactivating theory.) Luckily there's nothing that a bit of tape can't fix. Headed toward inlands on friday late afternoon with Keiu, Bruce and Clair, needed to pick up a pork roast on the way from their friends place, somehow ended up on deserted roads in the forest again, the roads being even worse and we were not in a truck but a regular car.

Tutunup diaries vol 8: everything essential is invisible

Friday afternoon headed to Margs again (Margaret River – trying to blend in and use Aussie abbreviations.  Clair went a little earlier with some friends, me and Keiu followed with Bruce a little later. We were one of the last cars who they let pass, as there was an accident on the road and they closed the motorway for hours. Luckily the guy who was trapped in his car, escaped with just a broken leg in the end. Marion and Sarah started driving just a bit later than we did, and were already redirected. Clair and Bruce had rented a house in Margs with their friends. The people varied from ages 21 to 65! We got along so well and had one ultimatefun evening. Everybody had cooked something or brought along food. Sushi, spring rolls, tiny meat-pies, you name it. We delighted others with some Estonian chocolates. (Already got orders what to send to people in packages later.) Karen, Clair, Marion and Sarah The main purpose of the trip was a concert. BRITISH INDIA !!! Cla
R.I.P Paul Walker! So sad and shocked to hear his passing.
