Wishing for a new rental car ?

There are bikers and bike paths everywhere around town. Right below our building is a place you can rent these bikes for $2.50 a day. If the weather would ever get nice we will give it a try.

More fun terms used by the wonderful Australians here. They just crack me up!
Of course you have to imagine them saying these words with their fun accents!

a rasher of bacon = a slice of bacon

fair dinkum? = really? no kidding?

ta = thank you

nappies = diapers

doona = blanket or quilt

a dog's breakfast = eating leftovers

Mackas = McDonalds

We were driving along the freeway yesterday and had to pull over and take a picture of acres and acres of some type of brillant yellow flower. The smell was really strong - sort of like a lillac smell but not really. It was a field of Canola flowers!

Tom wishes this was our rental car!

For those of you who are like me and it just looks like a red car, it is Ferrari.
It is parked in our building every night. I like our "sporty" little Ford Fiesta just fine.

Actually I drove for the first time yesterday. Yikes! It is not easy to reverse your thinking when signaling and turning corners, going around on round-a-bouts, and getting into the fast line on the right side of the freeway (and you all know I have to drive in the fast lane, Ferrari or not!)

Not to mention that the steering wheel is on the right side of the car. Well, I did ok but Tom, I could tell was not relaxing while I was driving, not in the least bit!

We did make it home safe and sound.
