Austrian

Dinner at Mutti's Austrian just now. Me: goulash mit spatzle. Marjorie: pork belly.





Marjorie's comment: "It's a good thing Laika doesn't taste this good."

Bay view

The view out a different office window. In the background is the bay that we used to live four blocks from.






Weird -- the sky looks all blue for some reason!

Dreary

My street. We're sick of this weather! It's been a particularly grey spring.






I call the trees "broccoli trees" for obvious reasons.

Games at lunch

The daily post-lunch gaming session, with Guitar Hero and MAME box.




Featuring Tom, Simon, Dan, Owen, John, Mark P, and Sean.

Elvis

Saw Elvis Costello perform solo tonight. Great show. He had to work hard to win over a crowd of sober forty- and fifty-somethings and he succeeded.




This was the playbill out front:

Clifton Hill station

Waiting for the train, Clifton Hill, like every morning...




It's ten minutes to the city if I catch the express; otherwise, fifteen. Then ten minutes of walking or tramming. Sometimes I think the ride isn't long enough!

Walkies video

A bonus today: here's a quick video from our walk the other day.

Webmasters

The other night I met the guy who took over the Elvis Costello web page from me lo those many years ago.




John is a really nice guy, and it's nice to put a face on the name. We're going to see him again on Tuesday night for Elvis's second show in town.

Boathouse

Took a walk down to the Fairfield Boathouse on the Yarra today.




They rent canoes and kayaks here, and it's a short paddle down to see the bats. We were actually looking out for the black cockatoos we'd seen a few times here but no sightings today.
