return to the underground is so funny because everything Donny says or does Raph and Leo are like 'that's him our baby brother, precious little genius, watch watch he's gonna do something cool, we are so proud. do you need anything Don Don'
And Mikey's like 'this is the worst plan you've ever had. I hate you.'
He really was not happy about going back underground XD

5 Truth Bombs from The Crown S5
Don’t Sweat the Technique
It’s official: The Crown is a fictionalised drama, not a documentary. Only 1% of GB adults surveyed viewed the whole show as fully accurate (which a drama will never be.) That figure edges up to 2% for those in the Gen-Z age bracket.
Nobody tell the 2% about ‘Spencer’, ‘The Windsors’ or those lifetime movies when Harry Botswana’ed Meghan and the, err, spirit of Princess Diana lives on in a lion (or something.)
But as Gillian Anderson put it recently, whilst certain scenes are fictionalised, The Crown is heavily researched, double and triple-checked. There’s true gems amongst The Crown’s jewels!
#1 Prince Charles did try to breakdance*
*apologies if eye-bleach is required
Tumblr media
Actor Dominic West told Jimmy Kimmel that The Crown hired a choreographer(!) so he could dance in the same 'style' as Charles.
That’s a gift that must keep on giving during party season.
Tumblr media
#2 Mohamed Al-Fayed did restore the former King’s home AND employed valet Sydney Johnson
When Sydney Johnson (Jude Akuwudike) started working for the Duke of Windsor it was unusual for a person of colour to be employed in a royal household. He went on to maintain this position for 30+ years before being employed by Al-Fayed (Salim Daw.)
Mohamed Al-Fayed auctioned the royal heirlooms in the 1990's – with rumours abound that Queen Elizabeth II was a secret bidder!
Tumblr media
#3 Prince Philip donated his real DNA to identify the Romanovs
Prince Philip’s (Jonathan Pryce) maternal grandmother was Czarina Aleksandra’s sister. He donated blood to prove that bones unearthed in a Russian forest in the 1990′s belonged to the Romanov family, who were executed in 1918.
Philip’s DNA helped prove that Anna Anderson was what Time magazine called “one of History’s greatest imposters.” Anderson claimed to be the lost Grand Duchess Anastasia, but none of the Czar’s children survived the shooting.
Tumblr media
#4 Prince Charles and Princess Diana really became “Couple 31”
After the biggest royal wedding of the 1980′s, the most famous royal fairytale whimpered to an end as just another  couple in divorce court.
Neither Charles or Diana attended court for the routine hearing (perhaps too busy making breakfast?!🍳) Their divorce was later finalised in Aug 1996.
Tumblr media
#5 Princess Diana did vote against the monarchy
“Monarchy: The Nation Decides” was televised in the UK in January 1997. According to one source, the real  Diana voted ‘no’ for a monarchy 250 times(!)
Head of Research Annie Sulzberger told The Crown Podcast  that although this wasn’t shown on screen, teenage Prince William was there too, trying to convince his Mother not to keep voting due to the cost of the phone calls.

DAY 3 | It Takes Two (2/6)
Nina: Alright. Guess we aren't quite wrapped up with the drama for tonight. The islanders start to scatter, but this group has decided to hang around the fire pit a while longer to debrief over the recoupling. To no one's surprise, Frankie and Sydney are happier than ever having successfully coupled up tonight, avoiding the dramatic mishaps the rest of the islanders had to endure. Ramone and Sydney are happy their friend Yana has made it out of the chaos unscathed. But Ramone's relief is short lived after Camryn makes a pretty unfunny joke about her being better suited coupled up with Hikaru. Yeesh, let the man breath, Cam! Looks like this might have been the final straw for Ramone: now that he's resolved to playing the field, just who does he plan on going after?
Next, let's head over to the other side of the backyard to see what Joey and Manny are chatting about!
@galaxsims-x @regalllove @nilonne @ironicscavenger @ommsims @madebycoffee
Beginning | Island Schedule | Previous | Next
Frankie: Where are you going?
Hikaru: Upstairs.
Frankie: To sulk?
Hikaru: To take a shower. Or am I not allowed free will all of a sudden?
Frankie: [Chill, dude. I was just curious. No need to bite my head off.]
Yana: [meekly] A-actually, Hikaru, cou-
Hikaru: Not now.
Hikaru: [in the DR] What was the point in me trying to make progress today if Joey was going to sneak in and snatch Manny away from me?! It’s BS! I had this in the bag before he got involved! Now I’m back to square one!
Frankie: Don’t mind him. He makes a much better second impression than his first. He just needs to warm up to you first.
Yana: [sigh] Right. Well, I guess I’ll go unpack my bag and get ready for bed…
Sydney: [See you in a sec, Yana.]
Ramone: [See you later!]
Frankie: Well, that was a rollercoaster ride! I knew there’d be drama but not to this magnitude.
Sydney: I’m just glad we were out of the crossfire.
Sydney: [blushing] I liked your speech by the way. I didn’t know you thought all that about me…
Frankie: [blushing] Well…now you know.
Frankie: [in the DR] I’m pretty ecstatic that we’re coupled up now. I wasn’t sure if I’d meet someone who meshed with me the way that Syd does, but I really lucked out!
Sydney: [in the DR] You stole the words right out of my mouth! After a little bit of a rocky start, I can say I’m super happy Frankie came to the Villa when they did.
Ramone: I’m still shocked that Joey had the balls to do that! It was pretty clear that Tucker was planning on scooping Manny up tonight.
Camryn: [quietly] Is that so…?
Sydney: Is it really surprising though, after what happened at the comp today? That kiss between Joey and Manny felt like the biggest one-up attempt ever. They clearly have been fighting over her for a minute.
Camryn: Hmmm…
Sydney: What’s more shocking is how Tucker did Tori! I can’t be the only one who saw how shocked she was when he picked Felicity. I can’t believe he’d drop her like that in front of everyone without talking to her about it first! Like where’s the common courtesy?
Ramone: Oof, yeah, that was rough to watch. I hadn’t really talked much with Tori, but she seemed cool. I guess the silver lining here is that at the end of it all, Yana wasn’t dumped.��
Sydney: True. I’d have hated to see her go home after coupling up with Frankie. Though I can’t say I have much faith in her making any headway with Hikaru romantically. Those two couldn’t be more opposite energies.
Camryn: Right?! It would make more sense if Hikaru and I were coupled up. At least we’ve already got the first kiss out of the way! [cracks up at herself]
Frankie: [in the DR] [rolls eyes] I can’t believe she said that shit. What is wrong with that girl?
Sydney: [in the DR] Yeaaah, that was not a good look on Cam’s part.
Ramone: [annoyed] Really?
Camryn: What?
Ramone: You and Hikaru?
Camryn: I was just joking around. Sheesh, don’t be so serious.
Ramone: Despite all the shit Camryn’s been giving me I chose her at the recoupling because I had faith that we could click if she’d just give me a real shot. I’m regretting that decision now. Clearly, she doesn’t care about my feelings, so why should I keep on caring about hers? From now on, I’m not holding back waiting around for her to give me the time of day. Ramone: [cold] Right. My mistake.

Afowiri Fondzenyuy: The man running Tokyo Marathon to build bridges in Cameroon
Tumblr media
Cameroon born Marathoner Afowiri Kizito Fondzenyuy said that running in Tokyo Japan will be a special experience for him. Afowiri who is also known as the Toghu Marathoner will mark his 17th marathon in Japan, having previously covered 673 kilometers in marathons across Europe, America and Australia. “Tokyo is special”, he said, adding that “It will be my sixth world major marathon and I'll be earning six-star major marathoner badge afterwards” “The badge is important, but the main goal is to help build the Tsenmah and Ndzenkov bridges in Ngondzen Community in Cameroon” The two bridges Afowiri is running to raise money for are made of planks that are almost rotten and according to the village head, Shu Fai Lun the bridges have almost collapsed with the community cut off from others because both cars and motorcycles cannot run on them. Shu Fai Lun said that during the rainy season, children miss school because it is too risky to cross the bridges and farmers find it difficult to visit their farms resulting in losses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8Di4XxoVFc He called on people of goodwill around the world to support the Toghu Marathoner as he runs to help them build new bridges. During his other 16 marathons, Afowiri Fondzenyuy has raised money for various causes ranging from education, autism research, aid for Ebola victims, construction of school blocks, amongst others. Afowiri said that it is okay for him to be the one running the 42.2 kilometers of the Tokyo marathon as long as the children and women of Ngondzen can end up passing through a well constructed bridge afterwards. “This is my thing and I want to keep running as long as my legs can carry me” “I want to run on all continents and I want to also experience running a marathon in Antarctica”, he said. The Tokyo Marathon, which is one of the world's six majors, will be held on Sunday March 3, 2024. The other five are Berlin, London, Athens, Chicago and Boston marathons, which Afowiri had previously completed. He earned the title of the Toghu Marathoner for running marathons wearing Toghu, a native attire of people of the North West region of Cameroon. Tokyo will be his fifth marathon in Toghu with the first being in London followed by Athens, Boston and Sydney. Read the full article

SCREAM - Billy Loomis X Reader.
Résumé : Maddie est originaire de la petite ville tranquille de Woodsboro. Ayant déménagé pour le travail de son père il y a plusieurs années, elle revient en ville pour ses dernières années d'école. Elle qui pensait retrouver ses amis d'enfance et pouvoir s'éloigner des drames familiaux...
¤  ¤  ¤
Mawen saute à peine de la voiture de son aîné qu'il court déjà en direction de ses amis d'enfance avec qui il avait réussi à reprendre contact quelques mois plus tôt. En revanche Maddie n'avait pas prit autant d'avance, Sydney et Tatum sont bien les deux seules à avoir entretenue le contact avec elle et cela malgré ses longs moments d'absences. 
-Allez Mags, tout tes amis doivent t'attendre. 
Elle tourne ses yeux vert d'eau vers son grand frère, effrayée de poser ne serait-ce qu'un seul pied en dehors de la voiture. Javen l'observe droit dans les yeux, impuissant face à la mine déconfite de sa petite soeur. Elle qui avait pourtant réussi à prendre confiance en elle après de longues années, quelques semaines ont suffit à détruire tout leur travail.
-Peut-être puis-je rester un jour de plus à la maison ?
-Je ne pense pas que cela soit possible. ricane-t-il alors qu'ils lui montrent quelque chose se passant derrière elle. 
Mawen revenant fièrement avec Stu, son meilleur ami de toujours depuis au moins la maternelle. Les deux garçons sont déjà accroché l'un à l'autre, Stu arbore un sourire illuminant tut autant que son frère jumeau. Maddie se tourne alors directement vers Javen avec un regard suppliant, presque les larmes aux yeux.
-S'il te plaît ramène à la maison, je t'en prie... Javen, je ferais tout ce que tu veux, promis.
-Je crains qu'il soit trop tard petite chose. Les affreux sont là, allez dehors. Maintenant.
Maddie n'a pas le temps de riposter que sa portière s'ouvre lui faisant pousser un petit cri de surprise alors que des grandes mains la kidnappe de la voiture de son frère. Elle pousse de toute ses forces pour que son "kidnappeur" la lâche enfin, ce qu'il finit par faire bien qu'il garde toujours ce sourire de cinglé sur son visage.
-Salut Maddie ! 
-Salut.
-Eh beh dit donc, où est passé notre jolie fille souriante ?
-Où est Tatum ?
La brune cherche quelques secondes son amie d'enfance, voulant désespérément quitter l'entrée de l'école et se cacher dans les toilettes.
-Pas là aujourd'hui. Sydney non plus d'ailleurs. Aujourd'hui tu restes avec nous ! ricane Stu avec une joie communicative -du moins avec Mawen-.
-Stu, je te confie ma petite sœur, je te fais confiance mec. parle Javen à travers la vitre à présent ouverte.
Stu se baisse pour saluer l'aîné de la fratrie. Il lui adresse un signe de main avec un grand sourire, visiblement heureux de le revoir lui aussi.
-Tout va rouler comme sur des roulettes mon pote !
-Bonne journée les gamins, à ce soir.
-A ce soir frangin. Salut Mawen avec un sourire alors que Maddie lui adresse un faible signe de main, manifestement bien moins enjouée à l'idée de passer ce premier jours de cours avec son frère et son meilleur ami fou.
Alors que Javen quitte le devant du lycée un autre jeune arrive au même moment. Stu saute sur le trottoir avant de passer un bras autour du jeune homme, l'attirant comme un bourru vers les jumeaux.
-Mon pote, je te présente Mawen, mon meilleur ami depuis que je suis tout petit. Et sa jumelle, Maddie. Mignonne hein ?
-Parle un peu mieux de ma sœur, grand charmeur. parle Mawen malgré son sourire malicieux.
Maddie roule des yeux, réajustant son sac sur son épaule alors qu'elle passe à côté des garçons, préférant finalement rester seuls plutôt qu'avec ces deux cinglés du ciboulot. Elle se souvient parfaitement de duo abominable que forme son jumeau et Stu, deux diablotins inarrêtable. Et maintenant qu'ils sont grands ? Elle n'ose imaginée. 
-Eh, tu vas où comme ça ? demande Mawen, sa voix soudainement plus ferme.
Maddie se tourne vers son frère, les sourcils froncés. Dieu qu'elle peut paraître timide mais face à son frère ? Une autre personne est là.
-Ca va, il n'y a rien à craindre ici. Tranquille Max.
-Rien ? Un malade habillé en fantôme tue des gens, tu ferais bien de rester près des garçons et moi.
-Genre tu penses qu'un tueur peut s'intéresser à moi ? On vient d'arriver Max...
-Il n'a pas tord. tente Stu avec un fin sourire sur les lèvres.
Maddie le toise plusieurs secondes, le faisant d'autant plus sourire. Il la retrouve bien là dans ce regard, son fort caractère bien cachée derrière sa façade de mouton sans défense.
-Les tueurs ne tuent pas au hasard, Mawen.
Elle remarque directement les yeux du nouvel ami de Stu se braquer sur elle, lui donnant des frissons désagréable. Elle tient son regard quelques secondes avant de le détourner, une sensation bizarre fait rage dans tout son corps.
-Tu parles comme si tu connaissais le sujet. finit par lâcher le garçon châtain.
-Je... Pardon. bafouille-t-elle rapidement en prenant ses jambes à son cou. 
Enfin s'était sans compter sur Stu qui la rejoint à grande enjambée, passant son long bras autour de ses frêles épaules. La différence de taille entre les deux adolescent en est presque comique. 
Mawen les observes quelques longues secondes avec un fin sourire sur les lèvres. Puis il dirige ses yeux bleu-vert vers Billy. A la différence de sa sœur, lui connaît déjà le jeune homme. Stu les avait déjà présenté via un appel vidéo sur l'ordinateur. C'est alors qu'il sourit presque de la même manière exagérer de Stu. Billy le remarque et le regarde en retour, son visage exprimant toute sa confusion face à l'aire surexcité du garçon à côté de lui.
-Maddie veut devenir criminologue. 
-Elle est fan des tueurs en série ?
-Pas fan, fasciné je dirai. C'est... son petit côté sombre à elle. sourit-il en finissant sa phrase.
Il n'attend pas que Billy ne lui réponde, il court déjà dans la direction où sont partis son meilleur ami et sa sœur jumelle. C'est pour cela qu'il ne capte pas le regard sombre dans les yeux de Billy, ni son sourire énigmatique.

Coucou tout le monde ! Cette journée a été nettement plus satisfaisante que la précédente : j'ai fait une bonne grande balade qui m'a pris la journée (avec beaucoup de pauses pour bouquiner), avec alternance entre grand soleil et grosse averse !
Tumblr media
J'ai croisé mon voisin de bus d'hier en me promenant le long du littoral ... Apparemment, je me suis endormie sur son épaule pendant le trajet... Oups :')
Tumblr media
Du coup, le chemin alternait entre forêt et bord de mer, c'était très sympa !
Tumblr media
Il faisait très officiellement beaucoup trop pas beau la plupart du temps pour aller se baigner, donc pas de trempette aujourd'hui... (Se réchauffer avec un vent de tous les diables quand on est dans une eau à 20°, c'est limite) par contre il y avait des vagues magnifiques !
Tumblr media
Je réalise d'ailleurs que comme, forcément, les meilleures photos sont celles sans nuage (marrant comme le soleil rend la mer turquoise tiens), vous risquez de me prendre pour une grosse ingrate météorologique. Tant pis \o/
Tumblr media
Pendant une petite pause ensoleillée, je me pose sur un rocher pour lire, et je fais la rencontre au bout d'un quart d'heure d'un petit être de la faune locale que je ne connaissais pour le moment que de nom ...
Tumblr media
... malheureusement, pas de koala, mais une "Fire Ant", soit une fourmi de feu.
Tumblr media
Alors, comparé au sumac, c'est de la gnognotte, mais AIE ! Pire que les fourmis rousses cette saleté >< en plus c'était gratuit.
Tumblr media
Je suis bien contente de ne pas avoir rencontré ses copines de la fourmilière tiens !
Tumblr media
La journée se termine tranquillement sur une soirée "fromage et vin" gratuite organisée par l'auberge (décidément, c'est high level ici), où je papote une bonne heure avec un gars de Sydney et une belge ! Une bonne petite soirée pour finir une bonne petite journée 🤗
Tumblr media
J'espère que tout va bien en France, je vous aime très fort, des bizouuuuux !

Bungendore
Mor, far og jeg (Laura) var i Bungendore sammen nogle dage, og så tog jeg også selv til Bungendore for at fejre jul med David og hans familie.
Da mor og far var med i Bungendore, havde vi en dag, hvor vi tog ud og fik frokost hos David, hans kone Kathryn og deres to skønne børn Edison og Jeanne. Det var en meget stille og rolig dag, hvor vi bare tog til et lille julemarked i byen, hvor de bor (Queanbeyan). Det var ikke et stort marked, men ungerne fik mødt julemanden, og vi fik hørt musik og danset (se videoen af Kathryn, der danser lidt med Jeanne). Efter tog vi på en legeplads lige i nærheden, hvor vi fik en pizza, og Edison og Jeanne kunne lege. Dagen blev bare brugt i hyggeligt selskab med den lille familie, og vi fik lært Kathryn, Edison og Jeanne at kende.
Ude på farmen var vi kun et kort smut forbi selve Bungendore by, men den var stadig hyggelig og meget landsby-agtig. Der var stadig den læderbutik, der også var, da vi var der for 18 år siden, så den var vi selvfølgelig inde i.
Ude på farmen er livet i et stille og roligt tempo. Dog ikke på samme måde, da vi var der, for en af dagene havde de inviteret hele familien. Som i stort set hele familien. Der var David og hans familie, Kathryn, Jeanne og Edison. Davids forældre Chris og Joy. Davids søskende med et par kærester, så der blev det til Penelope (minus kæreste, da han var til en skydekonkurrence), Marguerite og hendes kæreste Pete og Alison og hendes kæreste Matt og deres barn Eleanor. Derudover var Joys tvillingesøster der, Fay, og hendes mand, Roger. Dem mødte vi for nogle år siden, da de vi på krydstogt gennem Norden. Fay og Roger havde deres ene datter med Katherine og hendes mand, Rob, og deres børn Lachlan og deres anden søn, jeg ikke lige kan huske navnet på lige nu. Derudover har Joy og Fay en storesøster, hvis datter og søn også var der. Dem kan jeg virkelig ikke huske navnene på. Så vi var en stor forsamling. 20 fra Robb klanen (de fleste hedder Robb til efternavn) og så 3 mennesker fra Danmark. Men det var hyggeligt, omend overvældende, og de var alle imødekommende og rare mennesker.
Lige inden mor, far og jeg tog tilbage til Sydney, var vi med David og Jeanne til noget babygymnastik. Det var ret sjovt at se, hvor anderledes sådan noget er. Børnene havde små veste på med deres navne og morens navn stod under, men ikke farens navn. Det var helt sikkert et kommercielt sted, for de havde deres egne sange og det hele. Det var på mange måder amerikansk. En anden ting, vi alle tre generelt lagde mærke til, er, at de generelt hernede roser børnene på en helt anden måde. De snakker virkelig også til børnene på en anden måde. Det er meget baby-snak. Det var i hvert fald, det vi oplevede. I Danmark siger vi ikke hele tiden 'ej, hvor er du dygtigt', vi anerkender på andre måder, som 'ej, hvor er du højt oppe' eller andet i den dur. Sjov observation.
Men jeg holdt jo også jul med Robb klanen. Jeg brugt i 4,5 dage der. Jeg tog et tidligt tog d. 24/12 og ankom sidst på formiddagen, hvor David, Edison og Jeanne hentede mig ved toget. Vi havde barbeque hos David og Kahtryn d. 24., hvor hans forældre og hans søster Alison og hendes mand og datter også kom. En rigtig hyggelig og stille og rolig dag. Det var generelt nogle varme dage, så vi legede med vand ligesom vi også endte med at gøre på farmen. Det endte med at være lidt vandkamp med de forbehold, man nu tager, når et barn er 3,5, og det andet er 1,5. Det var nu stadig underholdende. Vi fik grint, blev våde og havde en hyggelig dag.
Jeg fik lov at udføre lidt børnemagi med Edison, da jeg fik ham i bad og vaske hår og derefter op igen uden de store problemer. Det gik derefter lidt sværere med at få ham i seng, men det skete da til sidst.
Efter børnene kom i seng, ordnede David og Kathryn gaver fra julemanden. Det var meget anderledes end den danske jul. Alle 4 familiemedlemmer havde en julesok med lidt slik og lidt i, og de var søde nok at have en til mig også. Det, der forundrede mig, var, at alle gaver under træet var fra julemanden og ikke kun en enkelt eller to. Det var lidt spøjst, men sådan er traditioner. De var så søde at have et par gaver til mig også. Der var en enormt flot notesbog (og jeg har jo et meget blødt hjerte, når det kommer til notesbøger) og et sødt julekrus med koalaer på (der er desværre kommet en revne i, så det står bare i skabet nu, hvilket er trist, det var ellers hurtigt gået hen at blive et af mine yndlings). Det var en tidlig morgen, da børnene vågnede kl. 6. Jeg sov i stuen, så det var svært ikke at høre dem, men sådan er det med børn. Det gjorde til gengæld, at jeg kunne facetime med familien hjemme i Danmark og sige god jul, mens det stadig var aften i Danmark. Det var hyggeligt at snakke med dem derhjemme og sige god jul.
I løbet af formiddagen tog vi ud til farmen til Chris og Joy, da vi skulle bruge resten af julen der. Vi tullede bare lidt omkring og gjorde lidt klar til at resten kom nogle timer efter.
Jul på farmen var en anden sag. Der var ikke lige så mange mennesker, som da mor og far var med derude, men vi var stadig en 15 stykker. Maden var buffet i køkkenet, da vi var så mange mennesker omkring bordet.
Gaverne var åbnet hjemmefra, da de jo åbner gaver om morgenen. Mine gaver fra familien var hos Chris og Joy, så jeg havde min egen lille diskrete gaveåbning undervejs (masser af gode gaver, jeg allerede har taget godt i brug). Jeg havde dog en gave i min taske, hvor jeg fik noget special te. Der stod, det var fra julemanden, så jeg tænkte, det var David og Kathryn, og at de havde puttet det i min taske. Jeg undrede mig over, at de var kommet det i min taske frem for under træet, men jeg tænkte ikke mere over det end det. Da jeg kommer tilbage til hostellet, er der en (Andre), der spørger mig, om jeg har fået min gave (vi havde en hemmelig julegaveudveksling). Jeg siger nej, hvor til Andre og jeg snakker lidt videre, og jeg finder ud af, at den gave med te, jeg troede også var fra David og Kathryn er fra min hemmelige julemandsgave fra Bethany. Bethany havde lagt den i min taske, så jeg først ville se den d. 25., for at gøre det til rigtig hemmelig julemandsgave. Hun lykkedes i at forvirre mig godt og grundigt, for jeg havde også først troet, det var en af mine gaver til nogle i Davids familie. Det gik derfor præcis og næsten bedre end Bethany havde forventet. Men jeg blev virkelig glad for gaven.
D. 26. på farmen blev brugt med at slappe af, Marguerite og hendes mand Pete og jeg gik en tur rundt på noget af grunden. Til morgenmad var der brunch med lidt rester fra d. 25. Jeg bevægede mig ud i at lavede brunede kartofler. De blev ikke perfekte, men jeg var tilfreds ift., at det var første forsøg.
Nogle af Davids venner kom på besøg d. 26., og så gik tiden ellers stille og roligt.
D. 27. fandt vi ud af, at Alison havde født en sund lille dreng via kejsersnit som planlagt. Alison og Matts datter kom derfor ud på farmen og hyggede med os. Der blev leget, set cricket og slappet af.
Kathryn og Jeanne kom også ud på eftermiddagen og var til ud på aftenen, hvorefter de tog hjem med Edison.
D. 28. havde jeg en bus ved middagstig fra Canberra. David og jeg tog en times tid ud og kørte på motorcykel, hvor han viste mig en flot udsigt til Lake George (en sø i nærheden) og ellers bare naturen. En fantastisk tur, som var virkelig sjov. Han kørte mig derefter til bussen, og vi sagde farvel.
Det er dog ikke et langt farvel, da jeg har kraftige planer om at se dem igen inden, turen går tilbage til Danmark. Kathryn er gravid og har termin i starten af februar, så jeg skal jo lige hilse på den lille ny inden. Derudover har jeg jo også lært dem at kende ret godt efterhånden, så det bliver heller ikke sidste tur til Australien for at se dem. Både mor og far og jeg kunne mærke, se og høre, at David virkelig har sat pris på sin tid hos os som udvekslingsstudent for 24 år siden. Han betragter os som familie, Line og jeg som hans danske søstre, og han omtaler også vores farmor med det danske ord 'farmor'. David vil rigtig gerne på besøg i Danmark også, men når børnene er lidt ældre og kan få mere ud af det. Plus Kathryn er oprindeligt fra USA, så de har også familie der, som de prøver at se en gang i mellem, så det er ikke altid lige billigt at være den lille familie.
Det var dog enormt hyggeligt i Bungendore og med David og co., og jeg følte mig godt modtaget, de var åbne og søde, og jeg følte mig bare som en del af familien.
Jeg glæder mig allerede til at se dem igen om ikke alt for lang tid forhåbentligvis.
Håber ellers I alle derhjemme er kommet godt ind i det nye år.
