Spent most of the day and night sitting at a bar in South Melbourne for my sister's birthday. A lot of people watching, drinking and talking crap. What a perfect way to spend a Saturday.

First time I missed a days post in 1138 days. Was out at a work conference in Noosa and didn't bring my laptop with me. So that's my excuse.

Took this at dinner as we were being entertained by the very talented Mia Wray. She performed for us the whole night and her voice had us all mesmerised. More tomorrow, or rather in a few minutes.
