Default who finds Melbourne boring

D'you know, when I came home from work today, no-one came to my house to entertain me/cook me dinner/ babysit my daughter.
So a pretty boring evening really.

Is Melbourne always like this?

We have 3 of the little barstards to process.

But they are darlings, really they are.

Yet we still get to do a fair bit - once they can get their arses in the car on their own in a tight and orderly fashion - we'll be away!
