My Busy Week

On Monday I went to the Melbourne Museum to see the Viking hoard exhibition. I bought membership at the museum not long after I moved to Docklands and bought the ticket to the exhibition at the same time.

I was a bit disappointed with the exhibition, although I have a feeling that might have been based on my mood rather than the actual exhibition itself.  If the ticket hadn't had a day stamp on it I might not have gone on Monday. I didn't really want to and I was a bit grumpy when I got there. I also found the low lighting in the exhibition made it difficult to see. And - the museum was busy. Much, much busier than I had expected it to be on a Monday. I kept tripping over school children (who were, it must be said, not being naughty but they were getting underfoot).

If I have time I will go to the exhibition again but I'll buy the ticket on the day, when I am in a sunnier mood, and I'll go much earlier in the morning.

On Tuesday, I went to work. I'm alternating Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the moment which I am finding a bit confusing. I'll get used to it. Or I'll go back to regular Wednesdays with the occasional Tuesday.

Wednesday saw me heading back to Ballarat to pick up a few more bits and pieces. Most of the stuff that I had at Hill House has now come to Docklands, although there is a bit still up there. I meant to "borrow" my garden kneeler. I won't need it to live permanently in my flat but I would find it useful for the next couple of weeks. Alas - I completely forgot about it until several days later. I'll have to make an another trip up for the last few things, and for the garden kneeler.

On Thursday I went to the local supermarket for I was pretty much out of cat tins. I went for a potter around the Victoria Harbour part of Docklands. I had brunch in Groovy Mama. Lindsey came round for a cuppa during the afternoon. And I joined her, Freyja and Simon for dinner in Kinyoubi in Fitzroy, less than a half hour tram ride away.

Walking home from the tram stop after dinner:

Victoria Harbour and the Bolte Bridge

I live in the tower block next to Marvel Stadium

Friday, I went back to work and the car went in for a service and new tyres

Saturday was a busy, busy day. I woke up to find morning visitors floating over my harbour:

Brandy didn't notice them.  Whiskey did and was rather intrigued

Then I drove out to the zoo, where I was having breakfast with Freyja, Simon and the giraffes

As well as these treats there were quiches, croissants, pastries, sweet treats

Cherry brownie

Vegan zucchini fritters for Freyja

Then I came home on the tram and Ziggy went to live with Freyja and Simon in Northcote, where there is an actual car spot for it. There isn't a car spot with my flat and I am not sure how safe it was in the public car park across the road (although to be fair I haven't had any trouble up to now).

I went for a wander around the Newquay side of the harbour on the way home and then paid a visit to the library later in the day.

Today I am meeting Freyja for coffee at the station. She will be on her way to Ballarat for the day. I am heading to Alphington for the Sunday market. I have no actual plans for the afternoon but I'm sure I'll find something to do. At the moment I am drinking my morning cup of coffee and watching the rowers practising on the water in the sunshine
