Heat Wave

Forty plus yesterday so what better than a sunset paddle at Half Moon Bay and a fish and chip dinner from the iconic Cerberus Cafe?

Mere wants to show her off to her German friends 

Arguably the best fish and chips in the world

Today was much milder so a picnic and a play at the Children's Garden was perfect.

New Year's Evil

Today is the last day of the worst year ever. It's gotta get better tomorrow. Still 2012 was not all bad. There's been lots of good times in the last few days.

Mads & Willy are proud of their block creation

After a morning at ACMI we went to yum cha in Little Bourke Street

On Sunday morning we had a picnic at Hil's garden

In the afternoon we went to Kerford Road beach

Today it was off to Bounce Inc. for some serious trampolining

What did they put in this toastie?

A festive and frantic evening meal then the early fireworks at Yarra Park finished the year. Thank goodness that's over.
