- Get out of the shower in the morning and not douse myself in insect repellant
- Cease sweating off all sunblock by lunchtime
- Stop wasting precious time counting all the bites I have
- Enjoy walking everywhere; walking to the shops, walking to the station, walking to a tram
- Look at the four day weather forecast and not see ’30°C & Fine’ stretching out into forever
- Meet up with friends at the pub and see a non-covers band
- Stop wearing singlet and shorts everyday
- Hook up with friends for lunch in the city
- Play and record some ROCK with the band
- Plot my getaway to Martha’s Vineyard, and how I’m going to achieve it without losing my job…
- Go to the GYM! …[pause for thought]…
- See AT LEAST one movie a week in a cinema that doesn’t smell like dampy rotting mildewy crud
Drive toGet someone to drive me to the Grand Ridge Brewery so I can drink their beer on tap at their in-house bar- …and while we’re on the topic of beer, I will also revel in the fact that Hervey Bay will suddenly have a glut of Coopers Sparkling Ale, as I will no longer be around to drink it, because I will…
- Go to pubs that have beer on tap that isn’t just Tooheys, XXXX or VB

I was feeling all homesick for Melbourne right up until the gym part. 😛 I don’t speak gym.

When I came back to Melbourne I STOPPED walking everywhere. In fact, I stopped walking ANYWHERE.

I have good days and bad days in Melbourne – some days happy to walk all over the place – usually if it’s good weather. As soon as the weather turns cold its taxi time. I have become weak and cowardly from prolonged exposure to Sydney weather. 🙂

Nooo. I walked everywhere when I lived in Melbourne. Actually, I walk everywhere when I visit Melbourne – last time I walked from the city to Collingwood at least three times (admittedly fuelled by the alcohol of many Christmas parties, but still…)
Where I am now is 10km from the nearest shop and it drives me INSANE.

Every street needs a milkbar. It should be a law.

Ugh, those picture word codey things are getting really hard to see. Anyway, as I was just about to say, you can hook up with all of the cool Melbourne bloggers (aka, ME!). Hehe.
b:p
I want to go to a Melbourne Blog Meet Up – when I lived in Melbourne I was always too scared to go, but…now you’ve done it Ren – I’ll come along and have a drink with you!
(And I hate the picture word codey thing too…I need something simpler, but still effective….anyone?)
