I went on the London Eye years ago and loved how it gave such wonderful views of the Thames and the Houses of Parliament - it was a shame the Melbourne wheel wasn't around Southbank where views would be more interesting but I do like the industrial side of Melb too. I'd love a house big enough for these bookshelves - they were so cool and the kids loved playing in themJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-35446768235403093222015-01-26T22:52:07.066+11:002015-01-26T22:52:07.066+11:00Thanks Cate - it didn't come up at the discuss...Thanks Cate - it didn't come up at the discussion but I would be interested to see if she discusses it in the bookJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-86266864730162755902015-01-26T22:51:23.226+11:002015-01-26T22:51:23.226+11:00Thanks Veganopoulous - I've been wondering whe...Thanks Veganopoulous - I've been wondering where I could get cheaper maple syrup - now I have so much I need to think about ideas for using it.

I would love to ride on something like that - it looks so very cool! Your pictures came out beautifully.<br />And yay for inexpensive maple syrup!!!! I can't imagine what it cost out where you are. I found a hard enough time with the price difference just moving from Canada to the United States.

It sounds like you have packed heaps into the school holidays (and how amazing to be entering another school year). We still haven't done the London Eye and the thought of battling queues and crowds puts me off, so it was nice to share your photos from the Melbourne equivalent. I love those circular bookshelves too.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-83772624842014356402015-01-25T03:47:25.287+11:002015-01-25T03:47:25.287+11:00intriguing, did Amanda Palmer acknowledge that aft...intriguing, did Amanda Palmer acknowledge that after raising a million bucks, she was asking local musicians to play for hugs?
