Back from holiday08:44 PM
Although we have just got back from a holiday - I feel like I need to go on holiday again, I am exhausted! The next day we headed to the Aquarium, which was someting for the children to enjoy. They had a great time looking at sharks, stingrays, 'Nemo' fish, turtles etc...then the dreaded gift shop!! Another screaming episode by our little one. After the Aquarium we headed to the Art Gallery to see the Art Deco exhibit (which had come from the V&A), I love Art Deco style & the dresses by Chanel, Lanvin (& I can't remember the others!) were just exqusite & I think they could easily be worn today. There was a blue sequined dress by Chanel, it was bias cut, with a bow on the front & I so wanted to take it from behind the glass & keep it for myself! Just gorgeous! My daughter was entranced by some footage of Josephine Baker dancing - she wanted to watch it over & over. On the last full day in Melbourne, we went out to Brunswick St/Gertrude St, which is a very 'hip' area. I bought an owl mug from a cool homewares shop called 'Douglas & Hope'. We had a big lunch at the 'Little Creatures' restaurant. Little Creatures are the makers of the BEST beer on the planet!! And the food at the restaruant was traditional, pub kind of fare...but so yummy! Then we went to the Museum, which had great things for children to do & keep busy. The kids loved the dinosaur skeletons & the human body displays. That night - I went to my cousins Hen's Night - wearing my Bridesmaid sash! It was a quite night as she wasn't feeling well. But it was nice to see my other cousins there & my aunty. It was all over by 9:30 though! Oh, I also got my bridesmaid dress while in Melbourne. It is strapless! But I think getting a decent bra will help in that department!! It is purple with black lace over the top and a ribbon/bow thing under the bust area. I think my cousin thought it was too black - but you can see purple & I like it & importantly I think I would wear it again....so a little victory there in the dress department. On Saturday, we flew back home - the two kids were so tired...so we just hung around the house. Then that night we had tickets to go & see Compaigne Phillipe Genty - of which I knew little about. But the show was amazing, loved it! Dance, puppetry, illusion...would love to take the children if they come here again. So, today I am home by myself, doing a bit of work, tidying up, watching Ellen on TV, getting ready for Art Class this afternoon. Starting to feel myself again...in need of a massage or something.
