Earlier, in Yarraville

Had the bright idea today to stop for a coffee in Yarraville, so here's the scene before me at Caffe Urbano: coffee, fruit salad (counts as second breakfast - was at Sugardough not an hour before), and a magazine piece on the recovery of Donald Friend's wonderful diaries.

Island of calm. Otherwise nutty day.

In praise of the weekend away

These happy snaps were taken on a Saturday-to-Monday weekend in Daylesford. Lazy brunches and coffees, getting around the lake and the Sunday produce market, and a quick wander through what's showing at the Convent. And facials at Mineral Spa, and a long, delightful dinner at Lake House. Hard to beat.
