A lovely weekend

Friday:
On Friday night 5pm we played beach volleybal. There are four beach volleybal courts at bond university and on Fridays the students gather at 5pm to play some games. It was the first time we went and we had a lot of fun. We played for 2 hours! I played in a team against Philippe and his team. Of course my team won :-)
After the beach volleyball we had some friends over at our place for a BBQ. We had a good night! Philippe made some delicious vegetables and was a hero behind the BBQ!

Saturday:
We slept a bit longer than during the week and then we had a swim in the pool! The sun was shining, it was warm and the water was great! I loved it! I relaxed in the little boat in the pool.

After lunch I installed myself on the little pier in front of the house with 2 book (yes PhD books: "sport management in Australia" and "Australia's sporting success, inside story") and I made some notes.
At 3pm there was no more sun at the pier... Unfortunately, we live at the wrong side of the "river". At 1.30pm the pool is completely in the shadow of the house and at 3pm there is no more sun in the garden. So the people who live on the other side of the "river" have the sun till the sunset! Around 5pm I went for a run and I enjoyed the sunset and the beautiful sky on my way:


Saterday night Master chef Philippe cooked again a delicious meal that we ate with some friends. On the menu we had chicken schnitzel made with parmesan, breadcrumbs, parsley and we had boulangere potatoes.
C'etait delicieux!

Sunday:
On Sunday I did the household tasks... laundry, going shopping, cleaning the fridge, cleaning the floor in the kitchen because it was sticky everywhere. About the going grocery shopping... Philippe was studying for his midterm exams, so I went by myself... and for the first time I drove a car in Australia! Philippe had to come with me in the beginning to practice a bit! It feels so weird! The gears on the left side... I had troubles to stay in the middle of the road and not going to close to the left side. But I made it... I went to Aldi (yes, we have Aldi here down under!).
I also went to the neighbors to barrow their fishing net to fish all the leaves out of the pool. And then I swum! I LLOOOVVVEEE Australian summer!

I had a great relaxing weekend!
Cheers,
Jessie
