wild, windy and lovely melbourne


It is windy and woolly day today with grey skies and snippets of blue sky. I met my old uni friend (10 years since graduation) in the city and we had lunch in the heart of the cafe centre, surrounded by lunchers, coffee daters and vibrant chatter, all encased in a warm and busy cafe. We walked down to Federation Square and briefly looked at a couple of exhibitions. This was followed by a hot chocolate with a view over the river and the arts precinct. It is so nice to live in a place and visit the city centre just because it is very nice, exciting and really feels like it has a character. It is also important to make time catch up with old friends who never change, we always manage to catch up when in each others town. Its like seeing a mirror of yourself and you can see how much each other has changed, learned and matured since you first met, but the essential character has remained. A lovely combination.
