Another day

On Thursday I had to go back for another test for my eyes.  I thought I should take some photos of the houses in Carlton, which is where the clinic is, as it is one of the older suburbs of Melbourne.  There a still a lot of the original terraced houses, and most are in good conditions.  Though the top one has some graffiti on the side.  I did  a little check on wikipedia to do some comparisons, cause I don't know a lot about Finland.  Melbourne is approximatley 8,000 sq. kms and Finland is approximately 338,000 sq. kms.  We have approx. 4 million people and you have approx 5.3 million people.  No wonder our roads have to be bigger and wider.

I finally managed to get the two together. If there is food then all is forgiven.

 Just have to have a bowl bigger enough to share :-)

Oh, my! The houses looks SO nice! So different from ours. Thanks for sharing!

And that's true - we are not very tightly populated here in Finland, though most of the people lives in the cities on the South part of Finland.

The food is very powerful motivator! :P That's what I also use a lot! Though I give the treats afterwards - they already know that will come eventually, if they are nice!

It's so heart warming to see the two different speaces of pets together! :D

Hope your eye checking went well.

I likel these houses too, they would have been built over 100 years ago.

Eye check went ok, but have to go back in 6 months as the doctor is a bit concerned about Glaucoma.

It is nice to see the different species living together in harmony.

Keep well.
