Still on the sock knitting lol

Friday it was a shocker of a hot day and smoke from all the fires in Vic and NSW blew over  Melbourne in the city

Could hardly see the trains 

So sad for all who are losing their homes and grateful for the firefighters.  Many volunteers who give so much of their time ❤❤

Our little tree has a few presents around it ☃️☃️

The sky was a lot clearer on Saturday and much cooler

Much excitement with present unwrapping.....we had a great family time 

That night back at city pad some fireworks were set off....

Neat view out our lounge windows...

In the distance are the xmas Myer windows with heaps of people waiting to see....we will check them out on xmas day as much quieter 😂😂😂😂

Wishing to you all out there a Merry Xmas xoxoxo

Chinese new year and other things

We were in the city for a few more nights......checked out some of the displays 

This weekend market was handing out free samples of various foods/drinks.....I tried a few tasty green teas and we got some asian dressing samples.

Those dragons which we watched last year flame up

Plenty of stalls along the river bank

Paul enjoying jasmine tea with Yum Cha lunch on Saturday

Thes crazy long escalators are at Parliament station and I am not keen 😂😂

Back to watch a bit of telly that night

Later we went back out to The District to watch fireworks here

The Melbourne Star all lit up

Good fun 😀😀

On Sunday we had this yummy lunch in a quiet spot away from all the crowds 

And look, yes my girl came in for Sunday night....we saw A star is born with Lady GaGa and Bradley Cooper......on boy so good and sad 😢😢

We then went to see that same market area for those dragons 

We stopped to have a quiet drink on way back to city pad

On Monday I Actually drove for the first time in ages......This is Sarahs car and fun to drive.....got to see her for longer and Paul enjoyed being passenger in the back

As a bonus for me.....another train ride 😂😂

We stayed Monday night to and I enjoyed some music video......Disturbed with Sounds of Silence

Yesterday we took our country train back home and weather was now changed to cool and wet....much needed here

I watch netflix on my tablet and this is Orange is the new black

Goodbye city for now

Back watching Star Trek Discovery

And today I donated Plasma for the first time.....I normally do the blood thing a few times a year.....and this time they wanted my Plasma

Happy to oblige and interesting.....I will do again it just takes a bit longer
