A sunny winters day.

 Friday turned out to be one of those balmy winter days,

that pop up unexpectedly in Melbourne.

Niki and I had the Moira bus,

so we decided to pay a surprise visit to Gabe,

at "Hausfrau" in Albert Park.

Midnight's new "Assistance dog" coat had just arrived and I wanted to show him off in it.

Isn't he handsome, now he is colour coordinated,

his collar and coat are both purple.

Albert Park is a very interesting suburb, 

it has both mansions and tiny "workers cottages", all of which are very expensive to buy!!!

We parked in St Vincents Place, 

a street of magnificent Victorian mansions,

built by miners who made their fortunes in the gold rush.

Look at this --------

and this ---

Nik and I felt a little out of place, and under dressed!!!

Lunch at Hausfrau was lovely,

we sat outside in the sun and watched the people go by.

Not a good photo of my assistance dog,

he should have been sleeping much closer to me.

I know I was slack, but I wanted him to have some of the sunshine too.

Middi looked wonderful today, 

I am sure he knew that everyone was looking at him because he walked with his head and tail up right by my side.

He can be a great ambassador for assistance dogs, when he is concentrating.

The last photo shows how we both felt at the end of the day,

very tired!!!!!!

Until next time ------ enjoy the sun!
