Chinese new year, drama in the house and the garden update of course!

This is the Chines new year party! Annette was nice to organize the that! Big thanks for that! For some reason Chinese people have a new year in February! (their calendar is totally screwed up, have you ever made business with Chinese people you know exactly what I'm talking about)

We all shared very nice Chinese dishes!! It tasted awesome!!

Asian people is spending the most time in the kitchen in the world! Maybe that's the reason why they been able to combine both the best tasting and healthy food!

We found Swedish cider at the bottleshop! They cost us 6 freaking bucks! In Sweden they cost around 2!!





We ended the evening with some mini cigars from Cuba! Cuba may be a screwed up communist state, but they makes the best Rum and Cigars in the world!!

Asian food is supposed to be eaten the Asian way! I love sushi so I can actually handle the sticks pretty well!



Här visar jag stolt upp min första rock melon!
The cherry tomatoes is comming too!!


Now all the fruits in the garden have been starting to show up!!

I been a bit tierd of water everything manually, so I bought myself a semi automatic sprinkler system! (I still have to turn on the water myself, so it's not fully automatic)


My home grown lettuce is awesome!!

Here I connect my sprinkler system to the garden hose!

The rockmelon plants are very funny, they have started to climb up on things, like other plants, trees and the fence, all to be able to maximise the sun intake, it's like they have there own capitalistic system, the more sun the more they can produce, the more they can produce the more profits! Very nice to see them do everything in their power to get as much sun as possible

On valentines day me and Jodie went to the turtle beach to watch the new born turtles find there why into their new home the ocean.









Tree frogs is very nice and friendly frogs and they don't bring any diseases!

Next to the local market we found some Kangaroo's :=) It's moment like that you really realize that you are in Australia, it's very easy to forget that sometimes when time is just running away! Another sign of you being in Australia is when you putting spicies on your steak and the they are flying around all over the place beacause of the fan in the roof! And when your choclate becomes liquid just because it's outside the fridge!

No it was a long time ago that I wrote something on this blog.
There's so many things I want to write and I can't write them all because no one would have the patient to read through so much text!

My garden is really doing good! Now even the capsicum and the rockmelons is starting to show! I have bought an automatic sprinkler system to give them water, so the only thing I have to do is put on and of the water. But it dossen't reach the lettuce so I have to give them water the old fashion way. But this saves me a lot of time and I can give my new friends the right amound of water everytime! Before I gave them the amount of water that I felt for, sometimes I couldn't be bothered to spend 10 minutes spraying water around the plants! So now I just put the water on and do something else and then just turn it of!

I'm finaly going to sell my old Falcon, I have get a new bumper bar that only have to be painted and then I put it on and put up an ad for the car! It's going to be a relief to get rid of the old shit car! It's a haunted car that's only caused me problem since day 1 and my friends that have experience with cars tell me that they never ever know someone with so many problems with a car. Some friends of mine has shown interest in the car, but I have said to them you DON'T want to buy this car, I promise you!!
Here we have the old peace of shit!
We had some dramas in the old house! We had a goodbye party at the local pub and one of the new guys Louis he got really drunk, so drunk that we couldn't wake him up. He was sleeping very deep, my landlord Greg and his wife Heidi asked me and Jodie if we could put him in Jodies car and take him home to the house. We carried him in to the backseat and when we finally got him there he manage pull out his friend and started to squeeze it and we had no idea what's going on, but very soon he started to pee, it hit the door, the doormat and the backseat. After he was done, we drove him home and I started to clean the car as good I could. Jodie got very upset because she has a nice car and pee is not smelling good. She said the two bottles of whiskey would be a fare compensation. To take the car to do a detail cleaning it would cost 200 bucks.
Here we have him!! We helped him out and didn't even get a thank you back!
The day after I talked to him about it and said to him that I could choose between giving her two bottles of whiskey or we take it for a detail and the only thing he said was that he could “buy her a beer”. And that's just not good enouth, he refused to pay anything. After a while I tried to make a deal for him that he only had to pay 50 bucks for the incident. He refused and had a bad attitude about it, he said “it's just pee, at least I didn't take a shit in the car”. I talked to Greg about it and he didn't know what to do. But after a couple of days he said that everything is settled and that Louis is going to pay me the 50 dollars. I don't know what Greg said, but that's the guy his him, he always solves problems. When I talked to Louis to collect my money he said to me that he was very disappointed that I drag Greg into to our conflict, that we couldn't solve it ourself. I choose to not even start a discussion about it, I just took the money, said thank you and left. If it would be the old Michael then I would never be able to not take the fight, but now a days I have learn that sometimes it's just better to shut up when there is no point of taking the discussion.

    Annette and her friends did such a wonderful job for chinese new year ! Their cooking was delicious and so nice they let you include me, hope they liked the strawberry wine we shared and i think she said chinese new year meant that it was to do with the lunar/moon change not the calendar new year and we all had to say something nice with wishing well to everyone at the table :)
