28. Exiled to Cyberia

Back in 1995 Cyberia was London's first internet cafe....probably one of the first on the planet. My studio was on the same street, and one day I saw it was unusually crowded. They were holding a special introductory event about this new thing called "the internet". This businessman started chatting to me; he couldn't understand what the internet was for and yet he was terribly anxious about being left "out of the loop". He was so worried that he didn't notice or care that I was painting him.

29. The Black Hat

The Frog likes to sport a large Borsalino, which lends a bit of swagger to any situation. Unfortunately it looks ludicrous on me.

35. Florentine Honeyburst

This afternoon's visit to the Van Doesburg show was followed by coffee and cake with the Frog. We discussed my Fretless Ladder (top left), and the sport of Egg Ping Pong invented by Jean Arp. I urged him to visit the rockin' zebra finches . This prompted a lengthy rant about the latest addition to the Frog's guitar collection. Meanwhile Serota floated past our table and I ate most of the cake.

44. Twin Frog

Had lunch with The Frog today. We discussed the possibility of coverting a disused factory chimney in Hackney Wick into a dwelling. Instead of creating different floors linked by a staircase, we came up with a single floor, moved up and down by an hydraulic ram.
I had mushroom soup which was excellent.

50. Melbourne - living well, eating well and CHEAP!


Evidently, Melbournians are full of angst about the prices they pay for their food stuff. Please, come north and compare! We wished we could truck it all back to QLD with us! The fresh, the exotic and the range of cooked delicacies from everywhere - we were in a constant state of salivation!
The Coburg Fruit Garden run by Toni [here with Geoff] and his brothers Milad and Fred was the first big eyeopener - B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!

Northeners look at the quality and the prices and drool!
Melbourne is flush with markets - in the suburbs and the urban cities and Melbourne CBD. Good value and high quality is the hallmark of these places.
The fish and meat markets at the Victorian Markets.
Have a variety we don't see up north and the prices - well, you can see!
A freshly baked spinach and cheese wrap with a cup of coffee at the Markets gave me back change from $5.00.
Eateries in Melbourne are often literally on the curb side!
A Greek eatery with mouthwatering selection of goodies - cake and coffee with the traffic at your elbow - this too was Coburg. Yannis Patries and Cakes, in Coburg, served you a shave away from passing trucks and cars.













Service everywhere was friendly and everyone was helpful! Michael Lorenzen's Highway 31, Cafe & Diner in Brunswick has the reputation for the BEST burghers in Melbourne. If mentioning service, Geore of "C&B" in the CBD and Vishal of Seven Eleven would have to be singled out as exceptional!














Last but not lest, chocolate to die for.....tucked away in Acland Street, St Kilda is San Churro, Spanish Chocolateria.


Don't forget Haigh Chocolates in the CBD either! YUM!
