Change of Season
The end of Summer beckons . It has been another long hot glorious summer with cicadas heralding dusk and parrots squabbling as they feed from the local flowering gum trees.
Mornings are darker and days are perceptibly cooler .Bright light is still common in the middle of the day and the odd hot day still occurs but with decreasing frequency.

February is traditionally the hottest month and the devasting bushfires in victoria of february 09 attest to this .Record breaking temperatures , combined with strong winds set the dry bush around melbourne alight with a sickening ferocity and loss of life.
Easter is early April , pre – season footy has started and the shops are advertising their autumn fashions . Summer sales are over , op -shops have recycled unwanted Christmas presents and young people are back in the daily grind of school , study , sport , and part – time work . Tertiary students commence on 1march after a long summer hiatus and workers and employers alike have long been back in the routine.

Time out for Munters to enjoy some leisure . Grab it while you can . It promises to be a long cold winter.
we love to shop
We love to shop and it has certainly been proved this week in Melbourne town .
Out and about I battled gale force winds and teeming rain to attend three factory outlet sales. Naively hoping to find that exclusive bargain I found I wasn’t alone .
buy authentic gear
Despite ,or perhaps because of the extreme storms the weather gods throw at us Melbourne continues to shop.
Whether seeking the right size and style AFL footy team Saints guernsey at the Puma outlet , desiring a funky little number at Alannah in Fitzroy or hoping to locate the perfect little bag at Olga in Collingwood shoppers are there .
Adversity breeds diversity and tenacity and Melbournians will shop against all odds .
Even the parking inspector , these days known as more user friendly , rangers , won’t dampen our spirits and quell our attempts to secure a bargain in the inner city labyrinth of streets when hoping to secure a must have purchase .
Trees across roads and through roofs, power blackouts causing disruption to normal service only incites us to a shopping frenzy unmatched anywhere on the globe . Economic downturn what piffle just means we shop harder and are more relentless in our search for a bargain.
olga makes bags
Its not raining and only light winds this morning better get out there and shop while I still can .
