Tin canned toys serene behind glass,
Brocolli tree a photo opportunity.
Pretty lovely day. Had class which was great, had a Canadian guest lecturer who was bloody action-packed and humorous. Made it a point to tell him he was the best we've ever had, better than even regular faculty. He could go on and on, he went past by 18 minutes and I wished he could have gone on.
That was followed by a gentle getaway on the covered al fresco cafes of Flinders Lane, then lunch at a Sichuan place. Ordered mapo tofu, and boy. Authentic mapo tofu is bloody peppery. Be warned, all you can taste is pepper, if you ever go for the real deal.
Discovered a great library too, cleanly tucked away on Flinders Lane - the City Library - loan up to 30 books for 3 weeks + 10 dvds for a week. And it had a great selection of graphic novels, and music DVDs. Fantastic hideaway to whilst time away in the city, for sure. Loved the clean lined decor too.
Pleasantly surprised when Hensley drove down from Sydney and spent a good few hours roaming north of the city before having a murtabak with an old friend in the city for dinner. Murtabak at $6.50, a tidy joint called Bismi on Elizabeth Street - highly recommended for el cheapo-ish Indian fare, and it was all good.
All good.
