We went out to get Varsha’s bear bag from the op shop that we left in our hurry to finish shopping at closing time. He was waiting patiently there.

We went round the corner for delicious Melbourne coffee and juice and came home and sorted out the things that had been drying after they got wet and repacked the car.

Erica came home from work and we had lunch and did some more painting.

We put on our new op shop clothes and caught a tram to the art gallery. We went to the Asian Art Gallery and saw buddhas and miniatures from India and Persia and Japanese watercolours and Chinese ceramics and intricate paper cuts.

We had dinner at a sushi train and looked at the cake shops but didn’t eat!
