Thanksgiving

We just waddled home from an awesome Thanksgiving picnic thrown by Democrats Abroad.

Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures during, so here's Marjorie during our soggy walk home...

Coffee

Flinders

Flinders Street Station, where I take the train to every morning:

Trivia

Marjorie came along to trivia last night, and despite our inability to name supermodels, we took first place!
