cooling berry soup

 

heating up

I had a very interesting talk this morning in Thornbury with a tv production designer whose name I won't mention here but who gave me a lot of great insight into the way tv shows are conceived. I then had a bit of a walk to try and get out of Thornbury and to the SLV. It's heating up. It's that time of the year where I had to keep switching between my sunglasses and my ordinary glasses. Even with the sunglasses sometimes it was too bright to really see. Also, jumper on, jumper off. It's a big hassling drag. But they say it's going to be hotter this summer than anyone now living can recall. So that's not good. 
 

piggy and the alarm clock

 

From what I understand, Kieku ja Kaiku typically had a moral of sorts in the end, with a philosophical universal truth in it. This doesn't have one of those, I'm going to say. 

gerard kennedy on acropolis now

There are a lot of great guest stars in Acropolis Now. I'm particularly taken by Gerard Kennedy here as Savas Papasavas, one of the greek waiters in the union of greek waiters. 

It's not a huge part, which makes it all the more interesting and fun. He has good scenes with Effie includes when he sleazes on to her. 

coburg merri creek walk last week

avondale heghts/ tea gardens/ steele creek

Last week and this week Perry and I have walked along the Maribyrnong at what's known as the Tea Gardens reserve en route to where Steele Creek hits the Maribyrnong. I'm interested in Steele Creek which I gather goes all the way to Tullamarine. I think I might try and get Perry to walk it, though I will say today (the second time we did this riverside walk) he wanted to turn back quite early, possibly he was overtired after Doggy Day Care yesterday, I don't know. 

two trips to royal park on monday

 There's a fast running creek at the northwestern end of Royal Park, it's really easy to forget that. I don't know where it comes from or goes to. 

Perry and I went up to RP again later in the evening (around 8pm) and had a time. The city looked amazing as well but when you take a photo with an iPhone it won't register how black the sky is.
