Mein Geburtstag!

Und nochmal, Nachrichten für die Österreiche! Hallo, wilkommen zu meine Blog! Hier schreibe ich alles über meine Abenteuer in Österreich! Ihr durft es alles lesen, aber ich bin mir lieber (sagt man dass?) wenn ihr bis nächste Woche wartet! Ich fühle mich besser wenn ich weiss dass niemand hier es liest! Ich versuch nichts gemein zu schreiben, aber ich schriebe immer meine Meinung, für alle meine Familie und Freunde in Australien.... Aber nächstes Jahr, schreib ich für euch, und ihr könntet über meine Tasmanische Abentuere lesen! Danke!!!

Well it didn't actually snow on my birthday, but on Sunday there was SOOOOOO much snow!! Apparently it's the coldenst November on record! I think it's jsut for me because I was going to miss out by not being here for Christmas...!!!

Ok, birthday... Well woke up in time for breakfast (for once, I usually sleep too long then find they're just finishing or something...) got up and had a birthday brekkie. I got a Manner cake.. Manner are these really yummy wafers (I'm bringin back a fair number, hopefully they'll be allowed into the country!) and Bibi had laid them out on a plate, with a candle, and then 6 other packets (about 8cm by 8cm) on the table, and confetti, and a glass of orange juice with a straw and a bread dough man thing (I can't remember what they're called, but is the anti-St Nicholas or something) which was yummy... From the family I got all that Manner, a really nice Guardian Angel necklace (tradition here that everyone has one) and the cassette tape of Die Monster AG (monsters inc), for german listening practice!!

Then my host parents went out, and Bibi and I got ready for the surprise lunch for my host mother (her birthday was on wednesday!). We all met up at hte local Gasthaus, including heaps of other family and ate deer for lunch... Can'T say I really liked it all that much, largley jsut because it was a little too rare for my tastes... erk! Oh, and my parents rang me before that!

After that we moved back home, for the three cakes people had brought and general afternoon of chatting and coffee and all (and then the skiing in the evening!)

So that was my actual birthday! Yesterday Bibi and I had the hosue to ourselves because Margrete and Fritz had to go to a funeral (is today, but 5 hours drive away)so that was nice. We just lazed around, watched lots of episodes of Pimp My Ride (there was really nothingo n tv, and we had our English Test today!) and ate lots of left over cake (and I read over about 100 things for Bibi!!)

Today we had the 'schularbeit' 2 hour english test, not really too hard, although I think I wrote way too much! Had to go through and change all my & signs to and though, because the teacher last time nearly had a fit.... Then I got my pressies from my friends... More Manner (I have 18 as pressies now.. Think I'll eat a bit, but there'll still be more to come back!!!), gummy bears, mozart kugel, a cool austrian slug keyring (like Imo K's if you've seen that!) Also the 2nd Echt Fett DVD, hooray!!!! And a book (in German) to read on the plane (an Ian Rankin, I did the whole cough-point thing to show Simone which I wanted!)... Ummm I think that's all!

Gotta run! As usual! Mrt up with Magdalena for the last time today, we went to the Ars Electronica centre again, even better with someone else! Lots of fun! Had my last extra English lesson too, they all got nice Tim Tams and my cards (with all my details!) hence the new message at the top... Put it in google and tell me how it translates (if you're bored that is!)

Btw, fashionable colours ofr the Christmas Wreath this year, brown and orange!

  2. Lol, Google makes me laugh! I thought I'd check out the translation by Google and here it is:

    "And again, messages for the Oesterreiche! Hello, too my Blog wilkommen! Here I write everything over my adventures in Austria! You durft it everything read, but I rather am me (one says that?) if you wait until next week! I feel better if I white that nobody it read here! I attempt anything commonly to write, but I would not always write my opinion, for all my family and friends in Australia.... But next year, write I for you, and you could over my Tasmani Abentuere read! Thanks!!!"

    Hee, hee! Hope your last week is going well.

    Luv Clerical Erica

    PS Silly lady just rang me at work and thinks my name is "Bianca." I know I don't always speak that clearly (silly me!) but for goodness sake it drives me nuts when people who are trying to sell you something and they use your name lots in the conversation but GET IT WRONG! She has rung up about 3 times before as well. Anyway, back to work. TTFN.
