Melbourne and Grandma Margo
There was a heat wave in Melbourne, up to 41C which translates to 105.4F, a bit hot! The Australian Open Tennis was being played but they had to hold some games until 4 PM because of the heat. They had a one-day cricket match, too, while we were there. Margo had a booth at the Exhibition Centre for The Lace Place, opposite the large Crown Casino complex.
Nothing like meeting up with another friend from Breeks, who I've known for fifty years. Glenyss and I had a great time catching up for a few hours at Margos Cafe in the Casino. There was also a Thai restaurant named Jasmine. 
Of course, we had to have dosais at the best dosai place in Australia--Flora's on Flinder's Street opposite the train station.
Grandma Margo was excited and delighted to see her son, Tim, and her grandson, Timmy. Three times! Little Timmy's mother, Tim's wife Christena came, too.
Joy saw her grand nephew for the first time.
Joy and Margo watched the flames at the Casino, full blast. Bill missed them the next day as there was a red alert with a ban on fires! Instead, we played tourist at Federation Square, St. Patrick's Cathedral, St. Paul's, Flinder's Street Station and the Melbourne Museum. 
Grannies these days just aren't what they used to be! Margo and moi at the Casino.
