canterbury garden
...in fact, springs been here for a couple of weeks. it is only of late that the weather becomes a tad warmer, firmly leaving the cold days behind. that said, it's not wise to second guess melbourne's weather.
the last couple of weeks has been busy-fun for all of us. firstly, the kid's having their spring break and my parents visiting us here kept us all up and about. my mum's is especially excited since her daughter-in-law is expecting her new bundle of joy anytime now*. That's grandchild #5 for her.
the improving weather is a great excuse for us to all go out and have a little bit of the fun and sun. in the past 10 days, we have been to st. kilda, south melbourne market, camberwell sunday market, canterbury garden and just yesterday, picnic @ jells park. some haunts are old favourites while others were our first visits.
today is significant in some ways because we are exactly 2 months short of 2 years moving to down under. in many ways, we can be called true melbournians now. for a start, i am no longer shock at the prices of eggs here. i also don't bat an eyelid paying a$4.50 for a piece of roti telur/roti canai. `how issit going, mate?' becomes my conversation starter when i talk to fellow colleagues. i need my cuppa now (make it a skinny latte) to start my day and when we yearn for junk food, we head for the mackers....i could go on but you get the picture....
