came across this brilliant Keith Haring mural in #Collingwood #Melbourne today

the soundtrack to the prep for our move included the Jam’s song That’s Entertainment (courtesy of its use in a recent Guy Ritchie movie), so I’ve been looking for this since we landed in #Melbourne. Fitzroy vintage store haul today!

#NowPlaying the Jam - Sound Affects @vinylrecords

PS the soundtrack further included Fontaines DC, which we went to see play shortly before our move, and Amyl and the Sniffers, the Melburnians who were sudden BBC radio favourites in December.

I'm off to Brunswick for lunch at a Japanese place on this warm autumn day. What are you up to?

Can't wait for the new rail line under Melbourne's CBD to open, it's much needed. I keep boarding Elizabeth Street trams headed for the hospital precinct & Melbourne Uni which are absolutely packed, even in the middle of the day (I'm on one now). The new line should take away some of that traffic.

Hello gardeners a while ago I posted about a mysterious vine growing in my pumpkin patch, it's now flowered. I don't think it's a choko or bean, does anyone have any suggestions?

They're putting in the latte art effort at Axil today. Here's a swan on the Magic. #coffee #cafe #Melbourne

Sounds amazing - a six-seater Korean restaurant out in the bush, for which you have to enter a lottery to score a reservation.

As the Kusama exhibition has just a week left to run at NGV International, here's what @NarrelleMHarris and I thought when we visited a few months ago:

Wow, almost 500,000 tickets sold to the Kusama exhibition. Good to see people enjoying art.

Finally got down to the new St Kilda Pier Penguin viewing area in Melbourne at sunset with a camera in hand. Can recommend, the penguins are adorable and being among a crowd of people delighted to see tiny penguins is so wholesome

A surprisingly regular game you have to play in #Melbourne (and probably many other part of #Australia) is: did I just hear thunder or is that our neighbour bring in their bins?

Starting to wonder if the state of the Australian mobile phone network is a conspiracy to up our step counts given how often I have to move around or go outside in central #melbourne to get usable mobile data

In total, 10 people died, including a 20-year-old law student who passed away on her lawn, waiting for an ambulance while her family tried to resuscitate her

It soon became clear that this was a massive case of "thunderstorm asthma", which occurs when certain types of storms break up pollen particles in the air, releasing proteins and showering them on unsuspecting people below
