Hi Guys,
Have you ever noticed that is seem to be Monday or Friday, anything in between goes like a blur!
Why is that ?
Life seem to be spinning out of control!! I do not have time to do what I want, between working full time, taking courses, going to weight watchers, spending time with Kevin.
No wonder people don't know who I am after they have interviewed me for a job opening...I hardly know myself :).
Actually I am a bit disgusted with recruiters. Not one but many recruiters seem to do the same thing. They promise you the world and to call you back, then they never do! What is that all about. Is it about making them feel better about themselves ? Where is customer service !
Yes, I know I am wining.. but I just had to, as I am getting very frustrated with people who promise and not deliver
I have now started working on a project that might help me with the problem !!
I will tryt it out this week end and then let you know if it works or not.
see ya

Just another day!
Hi guys,
Just another day! Or maybe not.
Rolled out of bed at 5 am.. checked for New jobs ! Bingo there was one with a fabric and interior design company. I applied at 5.30am, maybe a mistake as I was not quite awake yet. Time will tell.
Today I was told my company where I work have no money to give me the raise they had promised me in Dec 2009, as long as I stayed on, and they could tap in to my knowledge and experience, to help the new Practice Manager. I stayed .......... and got no reward! Will have my talk with them tomorrow, will keep you posted as I am, Not happy to say the least.
More to come. Please keep you fingers crossed for me.

The queen of commute!
The Queen of commute, that is me ! Not very funny, but so true.
Yesterday I was ready to crawl out of my skin... It took me two hours to get home, it take takes17 minutes to drive.
You tell me what is wrong with Sydney's infra structure and with the public transport. One morning you wake up and they have taken away 2 direct buses out of 3 on my line, but they have increased the bus fare with $1.30 a day. The connections don't work any more and I had to wait for over 40 minutes at the Queen Victoria building for my 2 bus connection to go home. It is really pain full !!
What can we do ?

THE BEST PASTA DISH EVER !!!
Hi Guys ,
Pia, my Swedish artist friend asked me what I was doing over Anzac day week end.
This week end I am not doing much but taking care of me !
Louise have gone to Jindi Bine for the week end and Kevin is marching as the veteran he is, in the city, which leaves me to my self.
It is not often I get a chance to be all by my self and I do treasure it when it happens.
As you figured I love food, and as I have promised Pia the best pasta dish ever, by Jamie Oliver.
I made this for Louise and Michelle, and I tell you Michelle cleaned her plate twice.
PRAWN SPAGHETTI WITH CHILLI,TOMATOES, BASIL AND LEMON
Serves 8
800 g spaghetti
olive oil
1-2 chorizo sausage ( about 225 g total)
slice on an angle into 5 mm thick slices
3 garlic cloves, finely sliced
1 red chilli, halved, seeds removed, finely sliced
4 baby fennel bulbs, sliced, leafy tops reserved.
A bunch of basil, leaves picked, stalks reserved and finely chopped.
750 mixed cherry tomatoes, halved.
A large glass of dry white wine, and one for the chef !
1 lemon
40 large green tiger prawns, peeled ( leave a few tails on if you like ), devined
Extra virgin olive oil.
Bring a large pot of water to the boil and add a good pinch of salt. Add your spagetti and cook according to the pack instructions - you want it still to have a bit of bite "Al Dente"
While your pasta is cooking crack on with your sauce.
Get yourself a large pan on medium heat and add a splash of olive oil.
Fry your chorizo for a few minutes until crispy and golden brown, then throw in the garlic,
chilli, fennel, chopped basil stalks, I wait with the tomatoes until the last minute otherwise they will turn into much. Pour in the wine and squeeze in most of the juice from your lemon, then simmer until the sauce thickens and most of the liquid has evaporated. Now add the tomatoes.
Add your prawns and cook for a minute or two until they are nice and pink.
Have a taste and season with a pinch of slat and pepper.
Drain your pasta, reserving a littke of the cooking water, then add it to the pan with your sauce.
Give it all a good toss together, the put it on a beautiful big platter and garnish with the leafy parts from your fennel. Bon Apetit !

Winter in Australia
Hi Guys,
Why is it that it is sooo cold in Sydney during winter ??? It is the worse place to be in winter!
Can any one tell me why?
Why is it so cold inside ?
It is as people try to ignore that it is winter, and just don't have heating inside their houses. For me who comes from Sweden and is used to cold winters, but warm houses, have never experienced anything like it.
It is like trying to live in a summer house that has been closed for the winter, you know how cold and damp it is when you first arrive in the spring to open it up. That is how many people live in Sydney during the winter, I just don't understand it ??
Oh, the fashion in the winter is a winter parka, scarf, hat with board shorts and flipflops, now does that make sense ??

Yarra Valley wine and cheese trial
Hi Guys,
You know that I am a member of weight watchers, so hard and so much fun??!!
Kate our leader at weight watchers has the best sense of humor and she is such an inspiration to all of us. We all need a Kate in our lives!! Some one that keeps us on the straight and narrow, when we don't.
Easter Saturday morning we woke up really early and went for a lovely walk in the area we were living, such beautiful houses from the Victorian time, large houses with large windows, wide streets and beautiful gardens. We had a coffee at the corner shop and went back to pack up as we intended to go shopping before every one else woke up.
Louise and I went back to COSCO on Saturday and filled the shopping trolley... here is where we fell off the wagon :) Areas with cheese, gorgonzola, blue stilton, goat cheese, cheddar, parmesan,
Jarlsberg, mozarella. We had to buy something !
Gorgonzola 1kg, spreadable goat cheese 500 gr, Jarlsberg middle cut, blue Stilton 500gr is what we checked out with, well, pork , lamb, prawns, pretzels in a jug bigger than life, the mayo in toe, salad dressing to last a life time, Not to mention the toiletpaper and kitchen towels, olive oil and sparkling water. We ended up paying over $500, "for toilet paper "??
Are we Crazy?
Apparently we have a problem with shopping or with food, what ever comes first.
We loaded the car and had really thought this expedition through.. we had a hugh eski box full with ice for the cheese, meat and fish, in the trunk.
As we left it was an exodus of cars driving in to COSCO, we had beaten them all !!
We drove out towards Yarra Valley, the wine growing area.
Wow !! This was an experience we promised to do again...!!
Like being in France. Mountains and valleys with Lavender fields and wine in rows as far as you could see. Large estates luring you in with all kind of goodies.
The route we had taken was called the gourmet route on the map.
Our intention was to visit the magical forest, and see the sculptures placed in the forest.
Intention went out the window when we visited Dominique Portet winery over a mediterranean platter and a beautiful bottle of chilled Savignon blanch wine in the French garden with the most beautiful view!
