2 picnics

We've been for 2 picnics this Easter break, yesterday at South Melbourne beach and today just locally at Sandridge. And how different they were.... cycling along to South melbourne (we didnt quite make it to st kilda), we were sheltering against the retaining wall, and 3 separate sets of people all decided to sit on the edge of the wall just where we were, the last lot with about 50 million kids all screaming and feeding seagulls. Still, we did get to watch the lifesavers doing their practice runs, rescuing volunteers in wetsuits. The weather was great, and I nearly went in the sea but got put off when I saw dog poo at the edge of the water.

Today we packed up some easter-egg-sandwiches and sat facing the building site at port melbourne. It was a lot quieter but also colder - we need one of those beach tents like they have on Kath & Kim. Does anyone know where we can buy one of those?

We also disconnected the bore water pump, and washed our white rug and sofa cover in readiness for moving (10 days to go!)
