Rain, football and ... pads


Yesterday it rained so much here in Melbourne, I'm glad I didn't have to go anywhere. It kept raining for hours and then out of nowhere it stopped. Nature, how amazing you are! 

It was not just a rainy day yesterday, it was Melbourne Cup Day and that meant a public holiday for all Australians – not for me who work for a Swedish company. People bet on horses, drank beers/champagne/wine and just celebrated their day off ... in the rain. We had some friends over, it was nice too. And dry!

I'm not feeling great today though, I think Sam gave me his cold so I've been sneezing a lot. My head feels heavy and it was hard sleeping because I could not breathe properly. 


Anyway ... Last week, on Friday, me and Sam met two of his friends (Michael and Beth). We went to a football game, my first real football match, and watched Melbourne being beaten by Sydney – not what we wished for but Hey! ... it was cool to be there and I understand why many people can enjoy this, happy vibes. 

And before I end this post this time ... look!! Haha, some "knowledge notes" when switching pads. I don't think I've seen it before (not like this) so thought that was cool. No wonder why women are smarter than men ... haha, jokes aside. This was clever. 😉






Swedish summary: 
IgĂ„r regnade det extremt mycket, i flera timmar! Det var Melbourne Cup Day vilket innebar att mĂ„nga i Australien hade en ledig dag som de kunde spendera med vĂ€nner, satsa pĂ„ hĂ€star, dricka sina favoritdrinkar samt njuta av en ledig dag. Dock blev de flesta av dem genomblöta innan solen dök upp. Stackarna. Vi hade nĂ„gra vĂ€nner över och firade hemifrĂ„n. Ingen hĂ€r blev genomvĂ„t sĂ„ det var ett plus haha ... DessvĂ€rre har jag Ă€ndĂ„ blivit förkyld. Tror att det Ă€r Sam som smittat mig. Huvudet vĂ€rker en aning och nĂ€san Ă€r stundtals tĂ€ppt. Frustrerande!

Förra veckan var jag pĂ„ min första fotbollsmatch, ganska roligt faktiskt. Jag förstĂ„r att mĂ„nga uppskattar att gĂ„ ivĂ€g och kika pĂ„ en match dĂ„ och dĂ„. Det Ă€r sĂ„ skön stĂ€mning och en gemenskap dĂ€r som jag förstĂ„r att mĂ„nga söker. 

Missa inte bindan pÄ bilden ovanför! En liten kunskapsnotis sÄdÀr mellan bytena. Smart!
