Monday, had lunch with my side of the family.
Went to Canberra Friday. Marie went down to babysit Tom and Casey's boys. They are doing really well, just sold their home and looking to move to Woden, close to the city and surrounded by large park lands. Good luck guys.
Saw the Project Hail Mary movie, which was good but kind of dumb and dragged on a bit. The main character meets a cute alien in deep space who cracked funny jokes and looked like a few rocks strung together. Everyone else really enjoyed it.
Saturday night at Bent Spoke Brewing with Tom and the boys, plus a hamburger place.
Went to Melbourne. Took Thurs Fri off. Wandered around. Went to Art Gallery, saw lots of designer clothes. Can't say I'm a fan.
All the alleys and laneways are a big surprise, so many little restaurants, bars, cafes. People living well. Starting their Thursday night real early. Melbourne is just like European cities such as old Nice or Genova.
Friday, I took an electric bike from the hotel. Went to Albert Park to find the F1 circuit. The ripple strips are clear, along with a yellow edge guideline. The ripple strips have some seriously vicious bumps.
Wandered with Marie.
Went to Brunswick St Fitzroy with Marie and Vonne. A tram had broken down so we walked the rest of the way, op shopping, lunch at French Resto, some Japanese stand up to order place with 3 boys that were or boys age.
Saturday, train to Windsor, wandered Chapel St/Toorak Rd, got shoes, had beer later due to my bladder. More drinks at home, gummy, went Mexican Resto evening, felt sick, went straight home to sleep.
Sunday, saw a kinda artsy boring photography exhibition. The American photos from the depression era were great, plus sites of kids playing in the street. Flew home to see my wonderful boys.
