Easter in Adelaide...


G'day!  Yeah, I'm back to my usual layout with pics included...

I've actually hijacked Mr Man's laptop...although this is a little difficult to use, it has the English keyboard!  Funny really, 'cos I was a touch typist in my 'previous life' in UK for 7 years (using the English keyboard)...but, in France I purchased a Dell laptop with French keyboard, this took some getting used to initially, now though is so normal.  Makes me think of driving on the left as opposed to the right...difficult to begin with but then just becomes the norm'.  I remember in my early days in France I went around a round about the wrong way...luckily not a busy road ;-)

Anyway, back to my Easter holiday in Adelaide :-)  Me, Mr Man 'n' my 2 boys are having a fun time.  The weather is pleasantly cooler compared to Singapore (although I have complained a little as I am having to wear 2 jumpers and a big scarf...16 degrees C...yikes)


Despite the chill  in the air the sky is a perfect blue and yesterday at the seaside in Glenelg we had a lovely day.  A tram ride from the City, very easy and efficient service, ride to the end of the line which took us to the sea front at Moseley Square. 




very pretty marina@Glenelg
So, here's a few pics of bits 'n' bobs which have been making me smile (up 'til now) during this Easter break...

Today is Easter Sunday...Happy Easter!  I'm off to a 'rather posh' hotel for Easter lunch where my boys have been promised an appearance from the Easter Bunny 'n' lots of yummy chocolate ;-)

kisses 'n' smiles from me xx ;-)

Easter holiday 'n' Cadbury's eggs...

Right now I'm on holiday with Mr Man and my 2 boys :-) its Easter holiday break from school. Please excuse my layout issue and lack of photos but keeping the blog updated via my iPad is a little more complicated than it should be! Where are we? Well, I have been here to this country and city before but my little family was even 'littler' back then! So, when we were here in Adelaide almost 9 years ago it was just me and Mr Man with my biggest boy...oh, I was carrying a little baby bump too, with little boy being due into the world 3 months later...;-) Flying to Adelaide with Qantas and, of course, flying out of Singapore from Changi was a good experience all round. Qantas, pretty good...although economy class through the night is never a 'wonderful' experience this was not too 'nasty'. My boys slept fairly well, no rowdy folks onboard to disturb us all, I managed to see a movie and good coffee served close to landing just to give that caffeine boast needed to deal with any airport chaos! Anything to declare? Actually, yes, I'd like to declare that your sniffer dogs are extremely gorgeous and I have 2 chocolate Easter eggs in my luggage ;-) ah yes, food is not readily permitted into Australia but declaring the goodies, if those goodies are pretty standard items 'usually' sees you ushered through customs. I think the customs guy actually thought I was crazy given the Cadbury eggs were no doubt imported to Singapore from Australia in the first place! Ah well, sure my boys will be smiling come Easter Sunday ;-) Happy Easter break to everyone 'n' enjoy all the Easter fun. kisses 'n' smiles from me xx ;-)
