The Danish girls arrived today, Chloe
wanted us in early this morning as they wanted to take us out for breakfast at
one of the little boutique cafes in their area.
She was also keen to get her apartment cleaned for Christmas, so we
helped with the vacuuming and mopping of the floors so that we could get
out.
We had a lovely brunch (late breakfast
early lunch) and sat for quite some time chatting about our holiday and life
for Dan and Chloe in Melbourne since they have been married. It was a really lovely morning...

We were there till probably
lunchtime. I decided to walk back to
their apartment as Dan, Chloe and Steve were going to head into the city to see
if they could pick up a pair of new Sketches that Steve wanted to get for
Christmas.

I am so happy that I decided to stay
home as they were gone over five hours walking around Melbourne City trying to
locate these shoes for Steve.

It was good, because it gave me a chance
to do a few jobs at home for Chloe, and also catch up on my blog which has been
sorely neglected since we left Adelaide.
I was feeling quite nostalgic this afternoon... I am missing a very important event today and my heart is a little bit in Queensland with this little man who is celebrating his second birthday day.....

It was after 5pm before they got home,
and we still needed to go and do a big grocery shop for Christmas. Whilst
the guys stayed at home, Chloe and I took off to the local Woolies near her
place. I was expecting a little
Woolworths store near her place, but it was in another big shopping Centre, at
least several storeys high. Fortunately
we had a list and we only shopped from that list so we were able to get it all
done within the hour.
By the time we got home it was almost
time for Dan and Chloe to drive out to the airport to pick up Hanna and Julie,
our Danish guests from Denmark. I was
left at home to get dinner ready for them all for then they returned.
It took a while for Dan and Chloe to
find the girls, as they thought that the girls were coming into the
International airport when actually they had flown in from Brisbane so were in
the Domestic terminal. It was probably
closer to 11pm by the time they got home.
Meanwhile Steve was busily backing up his phone on the computer as we
were about to get a new phone for him for Christmas.
Again it was another midnight night
before we left Dan and Chloes… These late nights are getting to us….
They are big days in Melbourne, but then
again we are trying to squeeze in every moment we can with the kids….
