I finally caught up with my old flatmate Phill. I can't believe it's been so long since we've seen each other. We met near the end of the tram line in Port Melbourne and walked along the beach with Tyr. We gave Tyr a little more of a run around in the back yard before heading off for some adventure. We decided to drive (yes, me driving the manual) to Williamstown. It's just across the bay from Port Melbourne, but you have to get on a highway to get there). Phill and I walked around the Williamstown Botanical Gardens, then along the cafes and shops opposite the port. We headed from Williamstown to Cassie's apartment in Pahran. She made her yummy veggie lasagna for a bunch of us including Phill's friends from England and Ireland. Wine was free flowing, conversation was lively, and it was a fun night.
