hellos and goodbyes - but no Tiger in our tanks!

More travelling - this time I am in Melbourne catching up with my family. Yesterday - briefly - saw my son, brother, sister and step mum, in Federation Square for lunch! It was a whirlwind, but in a good way...


The Vienna Art and Design exhibition at NGV is superb. Paintings by Klimt and Shiele, beautiful chairs, elegant silverware, posters, from the Secession movement in early 20th century Vienna.

Melbourne dawn


Unfortunately some of our family travel plans have been disrupted by the sudden withdrawal of Tiger airlines for 7 days, which is a major pain.

In Brisbane on Friday at Open Leaves (no, not an online bookstore!), I bought Sonja Lyubomirsky's The How of Happiness. Interesting as it is all empirically based and includes practical strategies - but possibly not entirely helpful in this instance.

more later...
