well, it has been a busy past couple of days , and although the weather has been a bit dreary that didnt stop me from pulling on a knit and stepping out to run some errands.
i agreed to let penny tie me up outside a cafe while she ordered a coffee, in return for a trip to our local pooch park, just for a quick visit, as it was cold...

but alas! others had more sense, and the place was deserted... so i meandered around the streets a bit , and decided now was as good a time as any to continue the walk up to the post office.
on my way i came across a crimson-camelia-explosion in someone's front yard - it took my breath away, and i marvelled at the red carpet delight , and then of course, in true red carpet fashion, posed.... (felt a bit under-dressed for such an occasion i must say..)

so as a good citizen i am looking forward to placing my vote next month- but as i am new to victoria; and seem to always get entangled with some voting electoral confusion; and that the internet didnt seem to want to be my friend that day; i thought to myself, what would nanna do? to the post office post haste! for an old fashioned form, that you fill out with pen. much to my disappointment, i came across this unfortunate notice...

so when i feeling blue, there are a few things i do...
one: head straight to a florist! which is what i did...
my mission: orange roses for my room....
check √

but oh melbourne weather, you fickle mistress!
when almost home - someone was throwing those kittehs out of the sky by the bucket, so i had to take refuge outside a delicious baked delights and coffee shop, that just as luck would have it is closed on tuesdays...

but the flower mission as always , was worth it when i got home... thinking of tango lessons in the spring...

x love lola
