So today, Tati and Matthias organized a party at Brightmore Reserve where the kids can ride their bikes on a kids bike track. A face painting artist was there too and all the kids got nice and colorful paintings. It was a really nice day that I am sure Thomas will remember for a long time.

In case you don’t know, let’s have a look on what Wikipedia have to say about Tumblr: “Tumblr is a microblogging platform and social networking website, owned and operated by Tumblr, Inc. The service allows users to post multimedia and other content to a short-form blog, named a “tumblelog”.”

So, what I will be posting there? Well basically some photos that I snap here and there. Since it is really easy to post from my Android phone to Tumblr, via the Tumblr android app I will be posting the pictures straight to my blog on Tumblr.

You may been thinking… Why not just post to Facebook instead? Facebook it is just for your friends, on Tumblr you can share with the world, you can tag your posts and people following those tags can find it, and you don’t really need to be friends with them.

If you still want your Tumblr post on Facebook you can post them automatically to your timeline.

Let’s see how my new project goes.

If you want to have a look, here is the link.

Today Gabi prepared a delicious lasagna for us. Tati, Anna and Thomas joined us for a delicious Sunday’s lunch. After the lasagna we had Ice Cream and Chocolate Ganache Pie that was absolutely amazing.

After lunch Thomas and I played Tower Blocks and Feeding Frenzy 2 on XBox, we had lots of fun. Thomas (only 4 years and 10 months) have a very good control on the XBox controller.

This time we went to the Manly North Head, the view wasn’t as great as the photo below but we could see all the six fireworks spots. A very nice vantage point and not so crowded, you can walk in 5 minutes before the midnight and still find a place to have a good view of the fireworks.
Happy new year for everyone!

It is almost time to go back to Australia. The year off has been great but we are also looking forward to go back to Sydney. We started to have a look on Domain for housing. Since Tati and Matthias have moved to Forestville our target area is around this region.

Some plan changes happened again and I will be going back by myself on the 9th of November (arriving in Australia on the 10th) and Gabi will return just in January since she is staying to wait for Tati and the kids that are coming to spend Christmas over here. I will miss my sweetheart a lot but I hope that she can have a wonderful time with her parents.
