Julmarknad i Brisbane - Swedish Christmas Market

It was time for the annual Swedish Christmas Market yesterday. New this year was that it was a Christmas Twilight Market between 6-9 pm instead of during the hottest time of the day - so much nicer! At 6pm, it's already dark, so all the fairy lights made the Christmas Market very cosy and christmassy!

Igår var det dags för den årliga svenska julmarknaden i Brisbane. Nytt för i år var att det var en kvällsmarknad istället under dagen när det är som varmast - mycket trevligare och juligare ☺ Det hade ju också hunnit bli mörkt så marknaden var väldigt mysig med all julgransbelysning!

My reindeer Christmas princess is being very creative at the Swedish School's craft table. Big brother went off and kicked the ball with some other swaustralian boys...

Min julprinsessa är kreativ och skapar fina julpynt vid svenska skolans pysselbord. Storebror försvann snabbt och sparkade boll med andra svensk-australiska pojkar...

Ran into amazing actor Robert Coleby (and his lovely Swedish wife, Lena) and got a bit star struck... ☺

Träffade skådespelaren Robert Coleby (och hans trevliga svenska fru, Lena) och var bara tvungen att föreviga mötet med ett foto... ☺

Eats & Beats, Logan Hyperdome

Last night we went to Eats & Beats at Logan Hyperdome. Lots of food and live music! We had a fantastic time enjoying German sausages for dinner and we also tried the best calamari - ever! Afterwards we went home and had ice-cream... ☺ It was a fun night for everyone.

Vi besökte Eats & Beats Julfestival igårkväll - massor av mat och musik! Vi hade en trivsam kväll, käkade korv från Tyskland och provade panerad bläckfisk. Det var den godaste bläckfisk jag någonsin smakat! Efteråt åkte vi hem och käkade glass... ☺ Det var en trevlig kväll.

Beautiful sunset - in the City of Logan

It was an awesome day with beautiful Queensland weather. It was sunny and around 35°C (95°F) Somehow, we still managed to get a bit of Christmas feel in subtropical Brisbane. Maybe the Swedish Christmas music helped a bit? ...and the Lucia procession too, of course!

Det var en mycket varm dag i härligt varma Queensland. Vi hade soligt och omkring 35°C. På något sätt fixade vi ändå julkänsla i subtropiska Brisbane - kanske den svenska julmusiken hjälpte en smula?  ...och Luciatåget också, så klart!
