Living in a holiday

We realised we had not posted any news on our log for almost a week now. Partly because the days are just flying by, partly because we also wanted to post a few photo's, and not until today could we find the time to do that. The 4 photo's that we uploaded today took more than an hour (patience is a virtue ;-).

What have we done last week:

After further research for job opportunties we both have now applied for 2 jobs, sent our resume's to a big recruiter and sent our resume to a contact through a mutual friend. No reactions yet, but that is to be expected ;-).

Last Tuesday we got on the bikes again to have a nice ride. But we did not realise that the Fremantle doctor gets stronger when the day gets older ;-). Since we started to bike at 15.30 and southward, we had to bike against a pretty strong wind. Not to mention the hilly character of the bikepath... Oh, for those of you that don't know that, the Fremantle Docter is the sea brease that usually comes in everyday. We have been told that how earlier it starts, the stronger it will get by the end of the day. Now that we know that, we will try to take it in account when going for a ride (leave early, and if possible leave against the wind so we can return with the wind in the back).

A few days ago we also went for a walk. In fact we walked to the (same) bikepath. Only 10 minutes walk from our current rental house, and we are on that bikepath, with nice views to the ocean. Since we were walking I (Peter) could now take my camera with me and take some photos. A few of these have now been uploaded, and you can find them HERE.

Also last week we booked some theater performances in Perth. One orchestra performance (Dvorak & Grieg) in the Perth Concert Hall, one cabaret performance (Take-Two) in a night-club-like set up in Subiaco (with 4 or 6 people seated at round tables) and a musical performance (Motown, again in the Perth Concert Hall)

Last Saturday we had friends over from Secret Harbour (Marina and Mike) who stayed for dinner. Next Saturday we will have other friends for dinner.

By the way, everyone thanks for your reactions / comments on the weblog. We really enjoy that. Some of you have said that all the pictures so far are just looking like we are on holiday. We'll, although that is how it seems, but we are actually living here now ;-). And indeed everyday we are saying to each other how lucky we are that we are indeed living here. Besides the small detail of not having a job yet, we are realy living in a holiday-like environment, and we love it !!! If any of you is doubting if it would be nice for you... Don't hesitate, and try to get over here ;-)
