Lunch (again) with friends

It took me a couple of hours to get back to Melbourne ( collected a couple of things we had forgotten to get to take back to Aireys with me)- but it was certainly worth the journey as I was going to meet up with NYC mates and see Anne's new apartment.
The apartment is lovely and light and airy.

The view from her balcony

She has some lovely things already set up and has her things still to come from NYC as she has now moved back home.

We all had a lovely time we talked about work in New York, what is happening with work in Melbourne, what each of us has been doing- mainly eating and catching up with friends. Also compared the joys of flat beds on planes and the changes with AUSSIE's and the challenges with the visa process. If there was a prize I won the most difficulties with the visa application prize.

The table and BBQ area on the balcony

The lunch was great- I left around 4:30 and then dropped stuff back at Sue's as she had left her glasses and Jude's coat. Looked at their new Jazz car that they picked up after lunch and then drove back to Aireys in the rain. I was going to get fish and chips for tea but the fish and chip shop in Anglesea was closed so we had pizza cos we weren't too sure about Aireys fish and chip shop which had been shut when we were at the video library previously. While I was in the pizza place Mich rang the mobile but I'd left it in the car and the Aireys one was open but too late! Turns out the Aireys fish and chip shop is shut on Mondays which is why it was closed when we were at the video library with the dogs.

Just loved this accidental image got photographing the table
