The Melbourne Summer continues

 

Tuesday 16 March

In keeping with the theme of ‘steps’ and recognising that we are well behind the task currently due to said birthday parties and celebrations, Lady Penelope was picked up in the dark of night at 5.30am by Jo to go to her gym for a quick workout. She returned as dawn was breaking and I think she crawled back into bed for a Nana Nap while I headed out to Andrews to supervise the removal of a medium size tree that had planted itself in a gap no more than 300mm wide between the garage and the wooden paling fence.

I had to review my 'Wine Blending deliveries' that had been delivered to Tas' and spent the rest of the day sourcing other small but necessary items to complete the kit. I collected Lady Penelope in the streets of East Hawthorn having discovered a very salubrious Op Shop with some serious quality bargains out the front including a Nina Ricci denim skirt from Rue Moulade in Paris - a steal t $30 and a very useful item given Melbourne has turned on some stunning warm weather, quite a different experience to Christmas. We visited the grandchildren who had returned home from a holiday with Sam's parents and then headed back to the Glen St residence for dinner.
