Word is out! I have a double in Perth!
No idea what she looks like (like me I suppose) but I mean in real life, you know what I mean :-). I guess she is living on the South of the river, because a lady from the company restaurant told me she daily took a bus to the South.
I do hope she behaves though. Just image that friends or colleagues start asking you what you were doing yesterday, drunk on the sideway :-)!

Sharing the fridge!
In Perth (WA) everything is prepared to deal with the heat. Just take a look inside the houses. Apart from the three a bit colder months of the year, you will have to search for a heater. These are sometimes just put in a closet during the summer (it can be that small!). But almost all the homes are fitted with an air conditioning or an evaporative air system (blows a hydrated breeze through the house) to keep you comfortable and cool during the largest part of the year.
The same you will see with the transport of cool food. The large supermarkets sell their chiller bags (a strong and large insulated grocery bag, that you can close with a zipper). But the Aussies also love their Eskies and not without a good reason. The Eskies are used to keep food cool during transport or during any kind of entertainment (meat for the Barbie or drinks while entertaining in the beach or in large parks).
They come in all sorts of colours, large or small, though or soft, and with or without wheels.
The Eski is even used while you go and visits friends and you want to bring a nice cool wine or cool food.
Don’t be surprised that when they visit you for dinner, they bring a lot of drinks, a salad or even a dessert or chocolates to make your life easier.
They will come in, give you a genuine hug, get confused when we want to give them more than one kiss ……..and then walk on with their eskies straight to the fridge, open it and fill it with all the cold stuff they are planning to drink or share with you. You don’t need to worry for your guests during the evening, because they will take another of their own drinks when they are getting thirsty and bring one for you in one go.
Don’t forget the tradesmen (the tradies) the hardworking guys who are working on your pool or arranging your pavers. They will need to take cover from the sun, when they eat their lunch and it is very well accepted that they will use your fridge in the garage (if you have one) to preserve their food and keep their drinks cool …………...
The fridge is a very important feature and always ready to share…..
