Hmmmmmm

Ok, let's not waste time with gratuitous explanations, excuses and apologies. My name is Melissa Lowe, and it's been almost 2 years since my last blog entry. Yes, that is a long time. Of course, I regret it. Why, yes, a lot has happened since then, Virginia.
I do feel guilty about not making the effort to keep up-to-date with blogging. But that the guilt has further prevented me from blogging further is just, well, ridiculous. So watch this space. Not every day, now, let's not get too excited!

Matt has set me a challenge, in the spirit of being supportive (one of his many fortes). I must post, at least, one favourite photograph each week, by Sunday night. He has set me this challenge as I am ra-ther keen on photography but need a push in order to prove I am serious about it. If I am able to do this for seven weeks in a row, he will pay for me to attend a short course in photography!
So here goes... I've only had my digital SLR for 3 years so am still learning how to use it (yes I know that's actually very slack).
Matt, Jessica, Benjamin and I made a trip into the city today, by train. Jessica was very excited about it, and insisted on sitting on her own chair. Very cute and independent, I like it! Benjamin of course charmed many people and was a delight, even sleeping in my arms towards the end of the trip.
We alighted at Melbourne Central Station, enjoyed some hand rolls for lunch, then walked down Bourke Street, toward Federation Square, along to Alexandra Gardens (where I took off my uncomfortable shoes and promptly stepped in the mud), along Southbank for a while, then up to the Block Arcade for a Belgian Spoil at Koko Black before heading home. It was such a lovely day, and it's always great to get so far out of the house!
I took a lot of photographs, but here are a few of my favourites...
