Charm of Melbourne

Melborne has the old city charm as when you do a city walk, you will invariably stumble into some old buildings. And the tram system adds to the air of old traditions. You will never get lost in the city and if you have two strong legs, everywhere is walkable - problem is the winter cold.

This is the old St Paul's church in the southern part of the CBD. The wonderful thing is that they are still functional as places of worship.
Yesterday the indianboyfriend went for a jog and met the good Aussie neighbours next door. As he chatted and told the mother that he was going for a jog, she shouted for her 6 year old daughter who came out in her running shoes. Olivia is the school cross country runner and will accompany me. Wah pressure.... and we did one round and she said laughing, I ran but i only walk. Pai seh.
This morning used the excess water from the shower for the garden. Found another football at the back. Hmm better bring the rugby and football back to them this afternoon on  the indianboyfriend's jogging round. Maybe can find another good neighbour behind.
Talking about football, the Dockers and Eagles of WA have clinched a place in the AFL finals... Very exciting news for Perthians and if you are in footie. Ours is more of anxiety - if the finals is played in Subiaco, we may have no parking lots for church!!!!

Doing our bit for mossie eradication. The water bath support has been flooded with the winter rain water and is collecting dangerously for possible missie breeding. Based on mybakuteh's advice, got a bag of sand from Bunning and filled up the cavity. Hey Presto! No more mossie threat!

Today is a busy day for the COMO real estate agent - a few things to fix in the house as a result of the new tenant's complaints.
And the good news is the weather is improving - did not turn on the heater last night!
