| The view from my Friday morning run |
The new nursery seems to have been a good move as Celia was so much happier when I left her off on Friday even though it was only her first day. This meant I had a guilt-free run along the Brighton coastal path, followed by coffee and croissants at North Point cafe overlooking the sea, reading my book while Max had a kip - bliss! Then I had a little bit of retail therapy in Elsternwick which is one of the many Melbourne suburbs where the local shopping street has really kept its charm and community feel so everyone chats to you and bends over backwards to help - chains like Starbucks wouldn't stand a chance!
This was followed in the afternoon by baby group in the park as it was such as a glorious day and Jess had made the most amazing cake. I was pretty much thinking life couldn't get much better when Andy arrived home to tell me he was off his nice city centre project where he gets home by 7pm most nights and was off to Sydney on Sunday for the week and Singapore the following week. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted!
On Saturday me and some of the girls decided it would be a laugh to go and see Gok Wan doing his makeover show at the local shopping centre. Gok was quite funny and a bit risque for midday but the makeovers were awful. They put everyone in stilettos that were too big and leopard print & black, including the woman who needed a makeover to get some colour into her wardrobe?! Oh well, it was worth going just to get a few hours with the girls childfree.

Late Saturday afternoon Andy’s boss was hosting a Teddy Bear’s picnic for all the families with young kids so we headed over to her house where Celia overdosed on chocolate, Max tried his hardest to overdose on chocolate (and leaves, twigs, grass etc) and Andy overdosed on Mount Avoca shiraz as not only is Lisa head of Deloitte, she also owns a vineyard as you do!
