Things we miss !!!

Moving to the desert has been a delicate balance between temporarily letting go of a few things we love...and embracing our life here. We are pretty open-minded and have fallen in love with some things here also (next post) but for the sole purpose of this one, here is a snapshot of our life back home and a few things we miss:




An Aussie super food!

Many days I have contemplated a 5hr drive to Dubai just for these delicious 'bikkies'




One of our favourite Margaret River wineries!



If only our internet connection let Duma play online w/ his mates :(



Playing basketball...it's pre-season back home and we are missing out.
So I'm playing netball and Duma is playing aussie rules :)





Bonds underwear and tank tops *sigh*
It's the simple things you know?




Our lovely local Asian eatery...delicious, cheap, lightening fast meals :)




We miss this tomato sauce, ketchup is NOT the same thing!


Good 'ol chicken crimpys = the whole box annihilated in one sitting



Mail that gets delivered to your HOME!!!

  4. I *just* found a wine store ("found" is a strong word, the store is on my street) that has just started stocking Madfish wines. Unwooded Chardonay, Sav Blanc, and Cab/Sav/Shiraz @ $7/bottle :)
