Double Latte and a NY Bagel please.

Hello Humans.

Some days are just for living, a sunny day in Melbourne in winter can be inspiring or the perfect foil for a day of inaction, today was a bit of both.

Best buddy and all round good person Anner invited me for coffee and a chance to walk the dogs several days earlier weather permitting, with promises of great food, dog friendly cafe and the knowledge that we'd not met for a caffeine confidential in eons there was no saying no, so with cash in pocket and dogs in tow its an adventuring we'd a went.

Not a scorcher by anyone's measure but sitting outside an Elwood cafe with a blue sky above and the sun filtering through the trees planted along the curb is a most delicious way to watch life ebb by. The air cool enough to enliven but the sun warm enough to make you slick back in your seat and the brain drift off to some place distant. Cafe life is an amazing thing, the rich and the poor drive by, the Porche, the Panelvan, a stream of wannabe's and some almost famous faces wander past oblivious to our muffled questioning, is that Ivor Davies? Hey its the guy from Tripod, god what a rough head.

A full belly is not usually an enticement for exercise but in fairness it was time for the doggies to enjoy their day in the sun as well, a quick drive away is a large reserve in which the dogged masses could run leash free and sniff anus for hours. They sniffed, ran, chased balls (manmade and k9) and slept on the backseat all the way home. Its definitely a dogs life if you have the right human.
