When Melbourne decides to be kind and decent, she is a beautiful gal. Today was awesome. Sunday bathed herself in sunshine, donned her blue frock and wore her sunny hat. The dog was the first recipient of Sunday joy, with hubby and I strolling through the bushland to have a breakfast on the pavement at a cafe, with pup, sitting at my feet. The creek behind our house, makes it feel like we are out in the country, rather than ten kilometres from the city. I love the fact that I can feel connected to nature and the cockatoos, lorikeets and gallahs seem to like it too. They certainly were screeching and telling the world all about it!

Later in the day, I put on the padded cycling shorts (it is NOT a good look, but it is a necessity) and my bud and I cycled into the city. It struck me how blessed I am living in this wonderful city. The bike path, stretches from our suburb and meanders along the river, is suspended at times under the freeway, and then gets you right into the heart of Federation Square, where it was pumping with people enjoying the weather. Where else in the world can you do these things? It is safe, children playing, mums pushing prams, dogs cavorting, teenagers on skateboards, grannies and grandpas out for a stroll, Melbourne just bursting with the energy of a weekend of sunshine.

The real good news story is this, I managed to really work my cleats! In and out with very little trouble, could it be that the girl with the clumsy feet is getting the hang of these monstrous beasts? I think so! Onwards to conquering something I never thought I could!
