Sharing a secret giggle with middle bro as we were ushered around the super plush Eden display suite.

We may go back next weekend for another free coffee, perhaps in disguise this time. As rich people who could afford a riverside apartment in Richmond rather than a couple of bedraggled local bums.

352/365

Spending a very pleasant day cycling with a friend, coming across the Winter Solstice festival at Fed Square on the way back.

350/365

The colours of the Yarra at night: midnight blue and champagne gold.

344/365

Melbourne: the kind of town where you can leave your bike lights on your bike (and your panniers full of books) and they will still be there when you get back.

343/365

Melbourne: the kind of town where you can accidentally forget to take your $70 from the cash drawer of the self checkout machine, and someone will hand it in.

Getting sidetracked on Hosier Lane.

The silhouette of bats gliding silently across the darkening sky. Eerie.

281/365

Cycling along the Yarra Path from the city to home, the river high, silent and dark beside me.

273/365

Waking up to a great big reminder that I'm in Australia now - a giant inflatable beer glass floating gently across the sky.

271/365

Opening my bedroom blinds in the morning to reveal several hot air balloons floating serenely by, the early morning light rendering the city in shades of pastel.

Eating blood orange ice-cream on the banks of the Yarra.

The Awwww! when the lights went down and the Ahhhh! as they came back up. Nothing like a mini blackout to make you appreciate the modern magic of electricity.

136/365

Mooching around town with the Sydney-based Miss Chetty (or I guess Missus Mountford now that she's married... WHATEVS CHETTY). Popped into Meet Me At Mike's (the analogue version) and ate far too many macaroons... what a lovely way to spend a Saturday.
