Waa hay, congrats. A little Frances or Francine on the way perhaps.

Just back from the Collingwood swap meet. (computer market). It's my favourite one, park across the road is the trick here.

Yes, great place! Remember having lunch there the first time we visited Australia. A 40 degree plus day as well.

I think there is a meet up happening at The Local next Saturday.

It's about 5 minutes staggering distance from my place so I'll probably go along.

Had a look at these yesterday - well worth it, love the lamps outside 333 and in the walkway next door.

Also worth a visit is the shop called Wunderkammer - Scientific curiosities, artefacts and ephemera 439 Lonsdale Street. It's brilliant.

First ate there about 9 years ago, loads that way and a lot of them just as good

They sound great.

Also Cookie on Swanston serves great Thai food and a multitude of beers (250+ I think).

I also love springvale market for great meat, veg and again fantastic Vietnamese food.

I first went there a few weeks ago - I thought it was amazing - can't believe no-one had introduced me to it before! It was 2330 on a Saturday night and the place was packed - the cakes were fantastic.
