not quite Vila Harbour but we missed you nonetheless Yarra…

Back in Melbourne after a 3 week holiday in Vanuatu to visit family and friends there. Jack was there for a week and got back to Melbourne 3 days before me.

I arrived in Melbourne an hour before midnight of the 19th. Just in time to herald Jack’s birthday with him.

We had a lie in, watched Bruno at Village Cinema in Crown and then had a quiet coffee and cake at Automatic.

I missed good Melbourne coffee

Went home to freshen up to meet his friends for drinks at The Little Creatures Dining Hall across from my flat.

a little more tanned than before

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MITCHY POO..

I STILL OWE YOU.

YOUR BIRTHDAY WEEK IS NOT OVER.

the family in melbourne

Parental units and my two Australia-based siblings (one from Canberra, the other from Adelaide) were  here for about a week to check up on me, experience the awesomeness that is Melbourne and to celebrate mum’s birthday and mum and dad’s 30th anniversary. It was a whirlwind week of activities, laughter, taking the piss, eating (heaps), shopping, a LOT of walking, tramming, seeing, playing Wii and enjoyment!!

Make a Smilebox postcard

Unfortunately.. Anj, my eldest sister couldn’t make it so this is the only complete family photo we could take:

Oh well.. one day hopefully soon this wacky and wonderful family unit will be all together long enough to have a family photo taken. And not just on the Wii screen.
