Fun in the city ♥♥

Well we have had a busy few days just doing stuff lol I completed some more mittens, actually 2 pairs 

And this soap bag and also another one....feels good to complete something.....Don't ask me about that Sophie WIP......

And something a little different here for someone ☺

A crochet net back which can hold a bit of stuff and good for the environment ☺☺

We have been watching "Stranger Things" via netflix 

And yes I always like taking random snaps in the evening lol 

And look a little doll not quite completed but happy so far ♥♥

On Friday we trained it into the city and Woody kept his eye on the passenger in front lol 

It is Chinese New Year and plenty of celebrations were happening and it was a great day for a walk 

A dragon.....these towers have flames on the hour every hour and been decorated just for the Luna Year of the dog 

This guy was spinning around a pole 

Not very crowded YET.......

This dog reminded me of Scooby Doo lol 

Many stalls of food etc were setup along the Yarra River near the Casino 

Pair of pink dogs at a stage 

And some panda's too....over the next 2 weeks lots of performing will happen here to celebrate 

This bridge used to be a railway bridge and has been kept and now a walkway over the Yarra River Sandridge_Bridge info here ☺

And we were right near to the helipad ( a bit down the River from us) so of course took a snap ☺☺

Lovely walk along the bridge 

Plenty of sculptures along the way 

Beautiful day in beautiful Melbourne 

We walked past some of the river cruise boats

And I spotted these bird sculptures, so neat under the trees......Thought they were permanent, but, On Sunday we saw them being taken away......shame, looked good.

And Friday night Brenton came to visit us and had a meal out before he caught the train back home ☺

On Saturday we took another walk back to the Casino to see their display for Lunar Year 

Oh look a Rooster and Pig ☺☺

Another lovely day and I do love seeing the old buildings, churches, among the newer  buildings ☺☺ Having been to Europe and UK I sure appreciate the buildings so much more ♥

 
Sarah had told me about this place Acme and some of it is free acmi.net.au/ more interesting info here.....This was fixtures which span real fast with lots of flashing lights.....so neat 

Anyway lots of fun and Sat night we headed out to see those flaming Dragons 

So loud and looked great so.....

I did a little movie.....just ignore the crazy young ones shouting out in the background....we had a good night and there was also White Night in Melbourne more info here he-best-and-worst-of-white-night-melbourne-2018-20180218-p4z0pt.html  I did not take any pics as was so crowded lol 

On Sunday we decided to do one of the cruises along the Yarra and had a wee drink in the neat Irish Pub PJ Obrien 

Sitting in our own little booth.....

Waiting to board our little cruise 

Hello everyone ☺☺

Going under one of the many bridges 

Looking across the boat and the chairs were just like kitchen chairs lol 

Anyway......on Monday we packed up again and left our washing on a clothes horse to dry till we return again.....so good having a washing machine. ☺☺

And today Tuesday we are expecting 2 little visitors for a night or 2 ♥♥
How has your weekend been? May the week ahead be a good one.

  1. Thanks for sharing all the things you saw.. the boat trip looks neat but they should have spent more for more comfortable seating! Have fun with the littlies. I look forward to seeing how you dress the little crocheted doll. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
