Birthday Party

Shortly after our last post we had to celebrate a double birthday party. Paula and Finja both turned 1 year old on friday, 11th July. It was a rainy day, so we spent quite some time in a nice cafe together with Manu and Marie. The two little ones got surprised by some boxed and colorful presents they had to unwrap.

The cutting board and fruits

Paula got a ball to play with, a monkey dolly and a bird mobile. And Finja got a nice set of a cutting board and several wooden fruits while all fruits are separable in the middle by a velcro. Using a knife to seperate them in a pretty realistic manner means heap of fun! Thanks so much for this present Jochen and Miriam! She also got a dolly by Manu and Marie, one beeing called Wolly the Wombat which scared her in the beginning and now she loves it.

After some delicious pastries and cappuccini we did a quick internet session to communicate via Skype with our friends and family before we went to an awesome pizza place with two burning fireplaces and pizzas as good as you can imagine. What a nice day!

Climbing wise we had a lot of rainy days, but also dry days inbetween. Jochen did the second ascent of my „Simplicity“ which is still awaiting it’s full sitstart ascent by me. It is hard but eventually it will happen! Instead of this one I managed to climb the „Roobiks Cube“, V12, but with the original, plastical and complex Roobiks Cube I’m still stuck trying to solve the last two corners of the last surface.

Katinka and Miriam both climbed „Brian’s“, V6 and „The Ramp“, V7 before Jochen, Miriam and Paula ended there Grampians time. They took the Great Ocean Road towards Melbourne where they still are, trying to sell their campervan. In a couple of days they will be back home in Germany. Good luck with the van sale mission!

In the meanwhile my parents have decided to spent this years summerholiday in Australia rather then driving to Italy or other European countries. They will arrive in Melbourne in about three weeks, meet up with us to visit the Grampians and together we will drive north towards Sydney, where we want to spent some more time bouldering in the city and routeclimbing in the Blue Mountains.
