I think I have now reached the end of my "Come and see my new place" Sunday Lunches. Pat came down from Ballarat on the train yesterday. Lindsey met her at the station and escorted her over the footbridge and walkway. Freyja and Simon joined us. It was a merry afternoon. Also - it didn't rain until after everyone had left. I watched the clouds blow in from the West, accompanied by wind and rain. It would not have been fun walking back to the station or tram stop in that!
I had a good week.
Lindsey and I went out to La Manna and Costco on Thursday and then met Freyja and Simon in Northcote in the evening for dinner in a new-to-me Japanese restaurant. I was surprised by how many people were in the city and on the tram on my way home. The tram was packed once we reached the city centre. There were lots of people pottering along the Esplanade as I walked home from the tram. On Friday I stopped on my way home from work and sat near the ferry stop to watch it sail out.
I was over at The District on Saturday afternoon and sat on the Newquay promenade to watch the harbour. It's interesting though - there are lots of benches along the Newquay promenade, and benches and low walls on the Victoria Harbour Promenade for people to sit and watch the water. Along the Esplanade there are none, at least not on the water side of the road, although there are some objects you can sit on by the ferry. It's a bit strange because it is a lovely view and there is plenty of room for benches. However, the Esplanade is still being renovated after the recent removal of the central pier. Perhaps benches will come.
Lindsey dropped in for a cup of tea on Saturday afternoon and mentioned that there was a Diwali festival happening at the stadium. I went to have a look after she had gone and there was indeed a festival. Lots of people there, having a very happy time.
