Happy/Sad

I have just read where "Meet me at Mikes" in Melbourne is closing.

Sad that I wont get to visit again, I was there 12 months ago with my besties.

I'm happy that they will get their weekends together as a family and they will get to spend more time doing what they really want to do. 

Melbourne

Now I'm going backwards!

We spent a few days in Melbourne last week mainly for the Head of the Yarra rowing but a bit of shopping never hurts either!

Nearly 200 extremly long row boats, eights, raced along the 8.5 km stretch of Yarra at timed intervals.

Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best for the end of November with lots of rain but Melbourne is always enjoyable.

We also spent some time at Federation Square and The Art Gallery.

Rabbits seemed to feature while we were there with this giant one and White Rabbit Ale, now I know what happened to Alice!

Favourite

This jacket is my favourite purchase while in Melbourne.

It came from one of the vintage shops in Chappel Street.

It has 3/4 length sleeves and will be just right when the weather warms a bit, if that ever happens. Winter seems to be dragging on so long!

I seem to be dragging my feet this week, still trying to catch up from being away.

Melbourne

I have just returned from a week in Melbourne.

Mum and I went to see her grand daughter, my niece, who was selected for SA Sport Aerobics Team, compete in the National Championships.

My mum hasn't been to Melbourne for over 50 years, she loved it and can't wait to go again.

In between competitions we managed a little shopping on Chappel Street, OK so my suit case gained 4 kilos!

South Australia did a great job with a small team of only 22 competitors they won 2 gold medals, 1 silver and 1 bronze.

Late nights and early mornings don't mix, I think I need a weeks sleep to recover from all the exercise.
