This has been a very relaxing week so far! I’ve been fortunate to have some quiet lists and early finishes and took a few days off since it was my birthday a few days ago. That’s resulted in what feels like a mini holiday and probably the first weekend since Ballarat that I haven’t worked in some capacity!
I’m writing this from the W Hotel in Melbourne CBD and from my room, I can almost see my apartment. It wasn’t a trip far at all, but it has been super relaxing none the less!
Here’s some shots of the room and of the views from their Level 14 pool/gym area…
I treated myself to a couple of gadgets this year: a Xiaomi Electric Scooter and… a Dyson V11 vacuum. You know you’re getting old when a vacuum clear is a treat! But with 2 cats around the apartment, my other Dyson was running out of charge when vacuuming on the max setting!
The weekend also included a HUGE amount of food. I ate out on every meal and even got room service for one of the few times in my life! The actual birthday meal was a surprise dinner with close friends, some of whom were coming from very far and others who took the time from their very busy schedules. Thank you for coming (if you’re reading this!).
Farmer’s Daugther cafe 
Room service! 
Lollo restaurant for brekky 
That’s a LOT of Hollandaise sauce 
Even the Curious bar downstairs at the hotel was cool…
Apart from the meals, we also went to get a massage and visited the Triennial at NGV one last time before it finishes in the next month…
All in all, it was a packed, yet relaxing weekend. Thank you to everyone who messaged, the friends who came and especially to @wanderfille for filling the weekend with surprises. 🙂
