Well, I though it is long overdue that I blog about it, since I have been there for more than a month now, already had a house warming party and some late bill I haven't paid yet!

Well to begin it is here (Google Map), one house away from the beach, amongst the tree.

Here is the house from the back, I live upstairs

The bed room, just after having received my furniture

It's very good because there is a big hill between the house and the high-way, and the ocean is on the other side, making the air quite clear, hence good for my affliction / health problem with car pollution.

On the other hand I work only one road away from the high-way. Fortunately it is the country side, but it's still (but just a little but) bad. However the boss is OK for me to work from home on the afternoons. I started to do it this week and that's it, it's globally (finally, at long last) good, great!
And the going on from work to home takes only 4 minutes, so it's no bother at all!

Here my workplace from outside

I don't have daylight beach picture , but I guess an evening picture would give a good idea too

I have only swim when other people came to see me so far. The temperature is starting to be alright, I mean not exactly warn, but not really freezing either, somewhere in between.

Next month I plan to buy a surf board and go for a surf in the (every?) morning before work!

As I said I had a nice house warming party last week, with heaps of friend from Brisbane. No local unfortunately. I don't really know any that well so far, I hope that will come!

Anyway, thanks to my well connected friend Abhi, there was heaps of cute German girl, which was all the better. We swam, cook and eat, played some games and visited Byron.

Here, some of us are dozing in the morning sun on the balcony

We had a nice home made "feast" Saturday night. We did my concept Tortillas / Mexican roll.
Basically I bought some Tortillas bread, prepared some "dip" and that's it. The dip are all from various origin, that's the twist! While I prepared some: red bean in tomatoes, home made guacamole, home made raita / tatsiki, schredded "tasty cheese" and sour cream. Sabrina prepared some Chinese style steamed fish with soya sauce, ginger and (garden) chili. River prepared some Chinese tomato omelette and Elizabeth brought a salad.

And here, morning party! (don't believe all what you see! )

Of course we also went to Byron's Light house, the most easterly point of mainland Australia, I know, it's an amazing fact!

From left to right: Ruth, Christina, Lena, Abhi (and the light house) and Rebecca.

What else?
The house has no washing machine nor any where to plug one, a little bit of a nuisance, I should talk to the owner about it! (He had some plan to build a little laundry shack downstairs...)

Ho, well I'm also trying to become a local!
Little success so far, but I'm doing the self defense stuff on Monday and Friday night, it's excellent. I did Volley Ball at Brunswick Head for a few Tuesdays already. I was lukewarm about it and last Tuesday there was some better player than me and bully who though that good team work from me was to stay in the corner. After much internal debate about screwing him up or leaving, I thought I might give a try to Sassy Salsa instead as well as the "Boxersize" on Wednesday night at Billinudgel Fitness factory. The instructor is a very good looking typical Australian woman (tall, blond, strong, you know the type) but I am not sure it is fun.. ho well, there is only women going there, can't be bad!

Also, and nothing to do with my new house, but as I did some "meditation" with Abhi (some quick "Om" séance in impromptu place at unexpected times) I want to share this picture of him which show his amazing spiritual power!

Abhi got the Power!

Namaste!
