A Couple Of Nights With Kim

We spent a couple of nights with youngest daughter Kim who lives in St Kilda. Kim remains footloose and fancy free and us oldies enjoyed the chance to catch up with her, spend some quality time together and check out St Kilda.

She lives right in the middle of all the action.

From her unit to Acland St is seen at the foot of the street in this photograph. This means absolutely no need to drive!


Acland St is a hive of activity, eateries of all types and styles and plenty of outdoor seating. Every second shop seemed to be a restaurant of one type or another. First night we had Malaysian, second night we gave Indian a try. Plenty of BYO (Bring Your Own alcohol) and a great time was had by all. It was pretty hectic though and plenty to eat and drink.

I managed to get to the third day of the Australia England Test at the MCG. This is the view I had from the grandstand. I will tell you lots more about the new MCG stand in future blog editions.

Tonight we are having our last night in Melbourne with family members and friends from our Hampton Park days. We fly out Sunday mid afternoon and arrive back at Maroochydore just after 5 pm. The internet tells me after some recent rain, temperatures on the Sunshine Coast remain coolish with no max temps of 30 or more recorded for December.
