More Party Planning

 Thursday 18 March

Lady P and Flashman went to the Prahran Market today. We were looking for duck Maryland for the family dinner at Mt Martha on Friday night at the start of a weekend celebrating Andrew’s 40^th birthday. It has been decades since either of us were there and it was remarkably quiet. Perhaps the effect of the pandemic, with people still a bit concerned with crowded places. After a successful expedition which included the purchase of genuine Normandy butter from France,  we packed the groceries in the car and headed home. We’ve been in a home exchange flat in Glen St, Hawthorn since we arrived and it is brilliantly located just off Riversdale Rd/Glenferrie Rd. Being an old flat it is huge. Two large bedrooms, a wide hallway and an adequately equipped kitchen, the classic green overtones of tiles in a large bathroom with a very deep bath which enabled Nanny P to soak away all the city stresses. It is up 26 steps, so this will get the step count up.
