A Weekend that Started in Jail and Finished with Food

As it's Tuesday, it's probably about time I wrote about my weekend.

This month, Paul's Friday night drinks were held at the Royal Melbourne Hotel. Part of this building had been the West End Police Station and Prison. The function room that we were in for the drinks was actually the corridor for a block of cells in the prison, complete with original cell doors with all the bolts. It was pretty creepy if you thought about it. The doors were so tiny and the cells would have been pretty dark and dingy. Apart from the interesting history, the venue was a bit so-so. Could do with better organisation and management and a bit of direction. Oh, and decent beers on tap!

Saturday started with a run in the park for Myf. Paul introduced me to Myf's new past time. She's allowed off lead on the local soccer pitch, which is partially fenced. On the soccer pitch, Myf chases her ball and other dogs and occasionally will get lost in the smells, but fortunately not enough that she won't come back to us when called. Either she's grown up, or the smells aren't as interesting as the ones at Mum and Dad's house. Probably a combination of the two.

Sunday started in much the same way, but instead of departing to the markets after the run with Myf, Paul and I went out for breakfast in South Yarra. We met up with friends at Fellini, which is apparently owned by Fev. Good food, despite the Carlton connection ;)

After this we caught a train into town and went to the Good Food and Wine Show at the Convention centre. Wow, this building is HUGE! There were so many people and it was so crowded. It was really hard to get to the free samples because everyone wanted them. Haha, funny that! It didn't take long before my feet hurt and I was tired of queuing for a teeny tiny taste. So then it was onto the wine section where I discovered Pomegranite liqueur. Mmmm... Very tasty! Almost made me forget about my sore feet. :D
