debbieannI guess this is what happens when we don't move to a new house and barely even travel - I have a routine! My life feels busy - cheap movie Mondays, water aerobics MWF, arty retro film on Weds night and walking 5-7000 steps a day. I also started attending a large size yoga class that I am loving, some of it is yin yoga and some is restorative yoga, and it is the first time I have ever stuck with a yoga class.
In between: gardening, house cleaning, laundry, library, books and dvds, music events in Melbourne. It feels like a very full life. There is so much happening in Melbourne it is hard to keep up. I just finished reading Talking To My Country by Stan Grant, which is excellent. I watched season one of True Detective and now I am watching Hinterlands.
Yesterday I tried something new and went to LUMA - LaTrobe University Museum of Art - turns out to be one room, but since I went to see this particular artist, I was quite happy to be alone in a room with 20 of her watercolor paintings.

I went to a bus stop 5 minutes from our house and then stayed on the bus for an hour. I enjoyed seeing where the bus goes. We have four bus lines and two tram lines within blocks of our house. I do love the public transit of Melbourne.
Most of the people I am getting to know are older and retired, so I visited one woman as she recovered from a hip replacement and now I am visiting another woman who is recovering from a hysterectomy. Both of them live alone, so having a regular visitor is important, and it is easy enough for me.
It is autumn here and almost winter, so the garden isn't growing as fast, but we still eat fresh spinach and green beans from the garden and every once in awhile a tomato. There is also still some wild arugula. The worm farm and the compost are doing well. We go to farmers markets twice a month and Charles has fermented some chilis and made a great hot sauce. We went out to the countryside to go to a big cookout at the farm of the people we buy beef from. We got to meet the cows.
in short, life is very good, I am content and happy.
