A couple of Sundays ago I caught a tram and then a train to Moonee Ponds Station to meet my friend Wombat in Puckle Street. We had a very pleasant lunch and then walked to the the local Court House Museum, where we saw an exhibition about the history of public transport in the locality. Naturally I found this very interesting.
I can't believe I didn't take photos. I must have really been enjoying myself and my company. Well, I did find a mural to snap.
I needed milk, so I caught the 59 tram to the city, alighting close to an Elizabeth Street supermarket.
While I have no photos, it is worth noting this outing.
In other news, HH's grandson is off to New Zealand to work in some kind of Hobbits amusement attraction. HH's daughter is going with him to help him establish himself, and asked HH to go too. But HH's son's daughter was coming to stay. It was a hard decision for HH, but she said yes. Her granddaughter can stay in her apartment alone, and I will let her into the building and give her keys.
At the age of 80, opportunities to travel overseas don't come too often but HH is doing it, although quite stressed.
Today, a month after buying Perl, she had to return to the dealership to have her nuts and bolts tightened, and any loose hanging wires tied up. I think Perl was washed too. On the way home I briefly gave her maximum acceleration, and boy does she go.
A couple of random photos. Kosov with Jass, and Jass peaking out from a shelf. Jass adores Kosov.

Best wishes to HH having safe travels! And the image of Jass hanging with a favorite human is adorable. Be well, my dear.
ReplyDeleteSometimes your own company is the best company to have, do you have to take a train to get some milk? Are there no local shops nearby?
ReplyDeleteCute and sweet photo of Jass spending time with a favourite human!
ReplyDeleteBreaking news: debonair gentleman of a certain age seen hooning along St Kilda Road.
ReplyDeleteClose by. It went from 40 to 60 in a second.
DeleteIt is unusual for you to not take photos, but I will forgive you. I didn't know about new cars needing nuts and bolts tightened. Kosov has lovely hair.
ReplyDeleteHis hair is gorgeousness when wet and curly he after he washes it.
DeleteI love that sentence "....meet my friend wombat in puckle Street" It's so whimsical.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a friend called wombat
Nice shot of Kosov's shoulder blades.
ReplyDeleteOne day I will see his chest. I'll share it privately with you.
DeleteUnfair, unfair! We might like to see his chest too!
DeleteOne spoilt pussy there, Andrew but how lovely is that!
ReplyDeleteI've been places and was so wrapped in what I was looking at and forgot to take photos too. I'm sure HH will enjoy her time away over the ditch.
I hope HH has a wonderful time. New Zealand is such a stunning country.
ReplyDeleteIt is important to not let one's nuts get to lose.
ReplyDeleteLet alone hanging bits that need tightening.
DeleteI get it that you get to treasure every moment of your life just what I shall do the same
ReplyDeleteMostly that is true, Roentare.
DeleteThat's a cute photo of Jass on the shelf!
ReplyDeleteThe images are in your head rather than in the phone, Andrew.
ReplyDeleteNew Zealand should be an excellent place to live for an "elderly" citizen. Everyone seems very welcoming over there.
ReplyDeleteThat's an endearing photo of Jass against Kosov. Good for Perl, on the get up and go end. And for HH same reason.
ReplyDeleteWill you go back for the mural photo? I went to Moonee Ponds once during the year I lived in Melbourne - is there a big gardens there? A most Australian opening :D
ReplyDeleteThat exhibition must have been good if you forgot to take photos. Jass is a very important member of the household and. I imagine takes the top spot.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that I often forget to take photos, in the past I always had my phone or camera ready ! Jazz is a cutie from what I can see it's a "she" because she has 3 colors, that's a privilege of female cats ! So at least you have one woman in your home and she dictates the rules I bet !
ReplyDeleteYes, a rather difficult and moody young woman.
