Update

It's been a while since I posted something, so I owe you an update. Life's been pretty good here. Hot but I am not complaining. What has happened.. hm.. guess the main thing is that the boys have started school. City Beach Primary, around a 5 min walk. Frank goes to Kindy, 2 days a week and Willem has started Pre-Primary, 5 days a week. They both enjoy going and seem to have fun. My 1st impression of the school is very good. Friendly parents, lots happening. Already been to a lecture about preventing literacy problems and they also organised a welcome disco which was really nice. I have also volunteered as class representative which means I attend the parent council meetings, keep everyone informed and organise social events so everyone can get to know each other. Also have already been on a couple of play dates and Willem is invited for a B'day party on Sunday. All good. Frank still goes to Dutch playgroup on Tuesday mornings and Willem has Dutch lessons in a small group on Thursday afternoon. Then there's swimming lessons so you can imagine the weeks fly past!
What have I been doing.. I have lodged my application to become a registered teacher here in WA. Unfortunately they need more information from my old teacher training. My mum managed to get most of it but my list with grades has gone missing. Hopefully they will settle without that document.
I have been going to the gym a lot: body attack, zumba, body pump and boxing. Have also been running but this week it was really too hot. Last week I ran 3.5k in hilly bold park in 31 degrees and I kept dripping afterwards. Normally we meet with a group of women at Lake Monger and run round the lake once or twice but like I said, this week with 37 degrees we canceled. We have been going to the outdoor cinema twice, to True Grit and Certified Copy. Was really nice. It's always nice to go out with Jamie. Went once with the girls too, to The Tourist. See quite a lot of my friends at the gym or I meet up with them somewhere. Today Katja and I went to Fremantle again and the kids played in the river. Was really nice. Monday I have my first surf lesson with a bunch of Dutch women. Should be a laugh! Busy day on Monday anyway as I am meeting a friend for lunch as well and decided to join Katja in the evening at Bikram Yoga. She promised me it is a proper work out. Guess you sweat a lot without doing anything as the room is set at 40 degrees! Last week we went for a day to Moore river, an hour up the coast. It's lovely there as the river meets the sea. Tomorrow Evelien, another friend, comes round with her husband and two boys for a drink and a simple meal. Next week Jamie's mum and her friend Alan arrive. Will be busy but it's always nice having visitors as you get out a bit more! Jamie's out tonight with his colleagues. What else.. we're at the beach a lot but that's no surprise! Have a good weekend!
