It's time for more ...

Well, lots has happened since our last post. We bought a red 1971 VW Beetle, well not quite yet. We saw it and test drove it, now we're waiting for its warrant of fitness to be done, so we can pick it up!!!! YIPEEEEE! Lots of pictures will follow once little Wombel makes it home. The name Wombel was chosen because my mom used to own the same little red car called Wombel. It took her reliably through the "hills" between her home and my dad's home 600 km away. I guess I have to thank Wombel for being here :) So that's were the name comes from and if you're wondering what it means ... no idea, but who cares, it sounds cute.

The second cool thing happening were TWO awesome packages from Germany. My godmother Andrea and her husband Axel must have heard how desperate we are for proper chocolate and licorice, because they sent us heaps! Such a great surprise. You can be sure it won't be sitting in the cupboard for long, in fact it may never make it into the cupboard. So thanks guys, we really appreciate your gifts!

Finally, I submitted my first paper today. Tomorrow the second one will follow, which thanks to Matt and Susan professionally proofreading it, actually sounds pretty darn good if I may say so. Please professor, think the same :)

Oh, and Matty made it to the final gold medal game with his Dunedin Ducks hockey team. The result and maybe a hangover from celebrations will follow Monday morning!

And just because I LOVE my food, here another picture from our kitchen. Homemade pasta, yum. Thanks Paula for the pasta machine, we sure love it.
