In town again.

Sunday met Cheryl and Patsy in town.   Two visits in one week, most unusual.  :)

Forgot to take lunch, which we had in a food court, and was nothing to write home about.  (Or in other words, not very nice)  Chinese food which I normally like, but not from these food courts where you don't know how long they have been sitting.

Also went into a new store called Zara.  A clothing store which apparently has lots of other stores overseas, but not sure where from.  Saw one top I liked but the queue for the fitting rooms was huge, and I don't have the patience to wait for something like that.  So left it in the shop :D

 This time took some photos in the Myer store, which I think I told you has been completely revamped.  This is looking up the atrium.

This looking down from the 6th floor.

 One of the light fittings on the ground floor.

 
The Escalators going down one side of the Atrium.

 The store spans two blocks, and renovations have started on the second store.

I think they are both heritage listed, and therefore have to maintain the exterior facade.

One view from the top floor.

Came home by town, and whilst Southern Cross is where we go for the football, I haven't had time to photograph it properly.  It was renovated in the last few years.  Not sure if I like it.  The smell on the upper level, where you have to go to access the different platforms, from the diesel trains of the country runs, was horrendous on Sunday.

 This is the view of the Diesel trains where all the trains going to the country stations and interstate depart.

This is the local train services, which are electrified.

 Looking up the escalators which provide access to the actual platforms.

Looking across at the other platforms.  Sorry quite dark in here as it is fully covered.



Enough of that...................

Had my camera when I went to visit Joan, and she said she couldn't get George to stay still long enough to take a photo, so had to prove her wrong.  :)

The first round went to Joan, but.......................












Round two went me  :)  He is cute, if not very disciplined.










 Saturday, we had drinks at the chocolate shop, which I didn't take photos of, as I completing stunned with my gift from Pauline.  For no reason at all she decided to give me this ring.  She doesn't wear it, and although she has 4 daughters-in-law, she wanted me to have it.  Isn't it beautiful.....................

I have always wanted an emerald ring, and now, thanks to the generosity of my friend, I have one.  I am so blessed with the best of friends.

Hope you have a good week.  Sorry this has been such a long blog  :D
