I lurrrrrve coffee. Ask anyone of my friends.

It’s a great beverage for anytime of the day and its a sure perk-me-up.

What I loved about Melbourne was the food…here’s a sample of one of my breakfast meals.

Country Farmer’s Breakfast:
2 sunnyside up eggs
2 buckwheat pancakes
Fresh mushrooms
Grilled tomatoes
Bacon
Whipped cream
Maple syrup

I tried to bring a new dog into our home but it is not working out. Baby is a male shih tzu, 15 months old and super cute. However he and my current dog just can’t get along. They both have too much personality to stay together without constant fighting.

Baby who had bad skin, poor hygiene and skin and bones in the beginning is now doing well. He’s regain his soft fur, put on some meat on the bones and got groomed. He got himself neutered too which has stopped his spotting tendencies.

Anyway, while baby is doing extremely well, my humphrey is losing weight.

It’s been a month and we are now seriously considering giving him up.

Took a week long break in Melbourne to R&R and I had a great time there sleeping and eating lots! It was supposedly summer but the weather was erratic and the first couple of days there was super cold! Of course I didn’t have enough to wear.

Despite the cold, my cousin and ourselves were all up for some famous Lygon street ice cream. The ice cream was fantastic! The varied flavours, the wonderful smoothness and huge servings just justified the madness of it all….eating ice-cream when the wind chill had the temperatures at 5 degrees.

I had Baccio (hazelnut chocolate), Pink Grapefruit and Pear flavours….weird combination… but the pink grapefruit and Baccio was excellent! Pear was a bit too mild for my taste.
