Melbourne winter sunsets that persuades you to slow down. ⛅ #Melbourne #Sunset

My walk today took me through Fawkner Cemetery and I cried a little thinking about the grieving families who will be greeted by beautiful little birds. Conservation can serve people too when we’re creative about it

A petition for a bike lane on Lorimer St Port Melbourne. https://www.change.org/p/finish-the-lorimer-st-bikepath-in-port-melbourne
"Living in the vibrant city of Port Melbourne, we should have safer streets for cycling enthusiasts and daily commuters alike. However, the Lorimer Street in Port Melbourne remains a hazardous route for cyclists....
There is a clear and logical solution to this danger: the completion of the Lorimer Street bike path, providing a safe and accessible corridor for cyclists. Currently, there's an opportunity to connect the Marybyrnong River Punt, which serves as a crucial link for commuters, directly to Lorimer Street. A connected, continuous bike path is a no-brainer and would dramatically enhance the safety of urban cycling in Port Melbourne."

If any of you #melbourne people ever need pathology tests done, the pathology collector at 4Cyte near Merlynston station Tuesdays-Saturdays is so good at her job on the hardest of veins she might have magic powers. Several people in my family with awful veins go out of their way to use her clinic

This is exciting - Smith & Deli is opening in the Melbourne CBD. It's famous for plant-based food; I used to love ordering their version of the Reuben sandwich when they were based near Fitzroy Library.

'The new Degraves Street shopfront will function as an “upscale cafeteria” with a rotating selection of hot dishes you can mix and match on your own market plate. You might find anything from red lentil dhal to crispy tofu with Thai basil, cauliflower cheese to roasted carrots with tahini and date molasses. “We’re making this place far more plant-forward, so expect minimal mock meats,” says Martinez.

'Many of Smith & Deli’s most popular items have made their way to the CBD, including the McMuffin-esque Egg Martinez, pies and sausage rolls, and the jam doughnuts. Also find grab-and-go salads and sandwiches, and ready-made freezer meals to take home.'
