"The Grace Of Carriage" ...

...With the old paddle steamer MELBOURNE...steaming past us on a hot day this morning..

...Years if relentless toil has made no difference to her, she's strong and just as captivating whenever we see her..

...We had to go to one of the hardware stores here this morning, some home maintenance has been required for the last 3 years - so it's good weather to be inside to do that...lots of tradies out and about, joggers with kids on bikes, families on the lawns feeding the water birds and kids in the shady playgrounds...and the old P.S. Melbourne continues on her way, regardless..

...We do believe where it's really much hotter than here, today in the cities and other areas, but here, it's just a normal nice clear hot day..a good day for sewing and things like that...
