melbourne

a spontaneous decision, made at the last minute, saw us flying to melbourne to see the hubby.  he looked good the first day but could see him waning after.  having to go through a series of tests over the next couple of weeks, just to determine what the medical problem really is...not much fun for him.

being there only for a few days, we grabbed some time to do some retail therapy.  elle found her minotaur comics huge store where everything's there, and old mummy was terribly out of place.  i did notice that the city is so so incredibly busy and crowded that it wasn't really much fun - it reminded me of mid valley during the weekends - gosh, i have never seen melbourne city this busy!

another big minus point for melbourne - can't stand the extremely thin toilet paper! everytime you try to pull on it, it twirls into a string, and so you have to keep pulling in order to get a reasonable wad to use.... such a waste of paper, they could have just made it thicker !  thank goodness there was some proper rolls at eltham when we went visiting..

caught up with the in-laws too... miss them but i guess they had reason to not be the most friendly..

didn't get to meet kieren and sarah, and suzanne, what a shame - kids were down with the flu..

with the move back to DV, and a little renovation, here's the brand new home, raw - not fully settled in, and organised yet....
