After dropping the kids at school, Linton and I walked and shopped around the very trendy and artsy Fitzroy area this morning - east of the Museum. Think Queen west - but perhaps 20 years ago - before the Gap et al. Really cool restos and cafes but alas - never cheap. We had a chocolate crossaint and cappucino at one of a hundred cool places and spent almost $13.00. We'll be back to a few stores like Shop Sui on Gertrude St and the very cool Crumpler bag store. Linton bought this fetching hat (see picture) for $10 at a millinery (hat maker) - maybe for Allie? Walked all the way back along Elgin to the uni for so-so sushi and then home. We were going to run but too tired. Maybe tomorrow. Weather is cool today - feels more like late October back home.
A few more Aussie terms to add to our growing lexicon:
How is it going = How you going?
tires = tyres
clinic = surgery
surgeon = professor?
take out = take away
stroller = pusher
savouries = sandwiches, meat pies (anything not sweet)
