Wet Weather

Wet Weather in Melbourne causes Munters to be more creative with entertainment options.

Walks in the Park , Tea on the Lawn, Outdoor parties and BBQ’s are a memory as winter’ s cold and wet bites.

Visits to Galleries ,hearty, slow cooked meals in restaurants , theatre attendances and shopping are attractive indoor options.

Munters , get rugged up , seek out alternative indoor activities and get out there!

Just try and stay dry , and play classical music whilst driving.

It helps to quell the inner road rage beast .

When are Sales really Sales ?

It’ s that time of year when the sales are on .

Big and small retailers alike are on sale.

Discounts of 40 % , 50 % even 60 % and 80 % entice shoppers and exhort them to buy , buy , buy .

Caught up in the heady fever of consumerism its hard to resist these bargains .

But are they really bargains?

If the item is much coveted , needed or required as replacement for worn goods buy it .

A hot pink , tight , impractical silk dress may not look such a bargain in the cold , critical light of day .

After all , who really wants a mustard coloured fake fur scratchy synthetic doona cover even it is 80% off original price .

There is a reason these items are heavily discounted . Who would ever buy them under normal circumstances ?

A word to the wise Munters , be careful out there .

Holidays

Its summer and as the long hot days draw to a close with the sound of cicadas chirping their nightly cacophony a feeling of serenity and relaxation blankets the continent . The long idyllic school holidays stretch ahead and the beach / country retreat / holiday destination beckons . The frantic school time rush of pick ups and drops offs are temporarily forgotten as parents everywhere unwind and chill to indulge in that extra glass of wine , read that long ago purchased novel or enjoy a sumptuous barbecue . Its summer time and the living is easy .Has to be the best time of year as beautiful days and relaxed nights gladden our souls and recharge our batteries  . Sit back , relax and enjoy because this precious interlude is all too brief .
