And then it was June..

Gosh, time flies! Haven't written for ages! Will write a quick update and will post some photos. What's happened. Well, Willem started AFL footy on Sunday mornings. A sort of funny style rugby. He really enjoys it as his friend Lucas also plays (as half his class). It's nice because we can just walk down to the oval at City Beach and half the school is there. Frank tried two classes but didn't like it. He gives up quite easily if things don't go his own way so when he lost with dodgeball he was unhappy.
We've had a couple of dinners with friends here at our house which is always nice.
I celebrated my 40th Birthday in a nice wee wine bar. Had a couple of nights out. Reading club is still going strong. I am still running.
We had a great walk in the Perth hills. We climbed mount Vincent and mount Cuthbert. Boys walked around 8km. Very good! The weather has been absolutely gorgeous (up to today.. it's raining now and it will most of this week and next). Just 25+ degrees and sunny days. We even could sun bathe on the beach and had a bbq there with friends in autumn/nearly winter!
Last week I went to see Missy Higgins with Corinne and that was brilliant. What a woman!
Also we went camping with Katja and her family in the woods.
This week I took Frank to the dentist (at school) as he had a cavity. He was very brave! I felt pretty bad about it, though. Less sweets and better brushing from now on!
Tomorrow I'm going out for dinner with Urmila and Tamar (Aberdeen friends) and on Friday I'm out to a lovely Tapas bar to say goodbye to Evelien. She's moving back to The Netherlands, but she's in Middelburg so am sure I'll see her again.
At work things are going well. Really enjoying the project "we're going on a bear hunt" and this week we're making binoculars out of toilet roll and are really going on a (teddy) bear hunt. Kids are so excited. Great!
Soon I fly back "home" with the boys. Can't wait!

Here are some photos, not in order!

 So is Frank. Brave boy facing the dentist without an anaesthetic!
