Today started all too early after our very late night / early morning - I didn't get to sleep till 2.30 am after Steve woke up getting back in and we talked and cuddled - as we had to check out, get to breakfast, get some shopping done and be ready to meet Carolyn at 12.
But we managed it - brunch at C & B cafe in the lane leading up to the Block Arcade (my waffles were HUGE and attracted attention from passersby), some last minute pen shopping at Kikki K (we had bought brown envelopes for the kids' iTunes gift cards and needed a gold pen for them) and a last minute purchase by me at Minotaur ... and then a delayed Carolyn arrived (the traffic chaos caused by the marathon's road closures) and we were whisked to Steve's mum and dad's for a lovely afternoon with his family.
I adore seeing them - they're all beautiful, warm, friendly people and feel like they family they are. I love my Melbourne family and so good a time did I have that it took carolyn to remind us we had to leave for the airport!
