Endelig!

Så fik jeg lige lidt hjælp af Ava til at lave nogle af de indlæg, som jeg manglede (Triathlon nr. 2 og  An Owl in the Dark) og så lavede Ava også sit helt eget indlæg (Interesting facts about me).

 Kl. er lidt over 22 og Ava er smuttet i seng. Nu sidder jeg mit værelse og venter utålmodigt på at Sarah kommer hjem fra en 50 års fødselsdag og derefter kører mig ud til lufthavnen. I aften kommer Andreas endelig til Perth og jeg glæder mig helt vildt til at se ham igen!

Åh altså hvor har jeg mange sommerfugle i maven lige nu!

Efter lufthavnen tager vi på hotel inde i centrum, hvor vi har booket et værelse og skal så bruge weekenden på at nyde byen og hinandens selvskab.

An Owl in the dark

A couple of weeks ago, Christine saw an owl outside in the dark. It was looking very hungry and was watching the guinea pigs. Luckily they were in their hut and the owl only got cockroaches for dinner. 

The owl wasn't shy and let Christine walk around and take a lot of pictures. Not every one looks good but here they are:  

The best picture

Ava and I thinks it looks really cute!!

Looking after ...

... the guinea pigs :o

Ava looked this up on google about the Owl, which we think is called the Southern Boobook Owl:

There is considerable individual and geographic colour variation. The facial disc is paler then the feathering of the head, and has large dark patches behind each eye, and an indistinct whitish rim. The eyes are pale greenish-yellow to yellow and the bill is bluish-grey.

Upperparts are pale to dark brown with irregular pale or white spots on the wing-coverts. The scapulars have relatively large whitish areas on the outer webs, forming and indistinct whitish row across the shoulder. The primaries and secondaries are rufous-brown with dark brown bars. The tail is dark rufous-brown with paler bars, becoming whitish-buff on the inner webs.

The throat is whitish, and the rest of the underparts have broad rufous-brown streaks and cross-bars.

Tarsi are feathered, and the brownish-grey toes are bare, with bristles on the upper-side. Claws are dark horn with darker tips.

Triathlon nr. 2

For et par uger siden, løb Marlon sit 2. triathlon. Blot 2 uger efter sit første! Og han klarede det selvfølgelig super godt igen. Vi tog afsted tidligt om morgenen for at være ved Point Walter Reserve kl. 7. Det var et meget smukt sted, specielt med den flotte morgen sol og med udsigt over Swan River.

Ups, vi havde selvfølgelig taget hunden Hero med ...

... så John måtte køre de 30 minutter tilbage til huset med Hero og tilbage til Point Walter Reserve uden hund.  

Morgen sol

Ava writes: this pelican is swimming on the river with its webbed feet. it can catch about fifty fish at a time because its beak is so big. it can drink 2 liters at a time.     

Triathlonet går i gang.

Efter løbet spiste vi en lækker brunch med udsigt over floden.
