St Kilda

I walked through Fawkner Park near here to a place that opens early for coffee, then, after finishing most of the crossword I walked on  around part of Albert Park lake to a little cafe in St Kilda West for an omelette for breakfast. Then I walked along the waterfront and out to the end of the pier at St Kilda.  I wanted to confirm the times of the ferry to Williamstown. I walked further along the waterfront  but then decided to come back here. To get to the tram stop, I walked past about 10 cake and coffee shops in Acland St . They were all well patronised. When in Rome... I chose  a cafe and ate a delicious piece of cake and good coffee. The cafe had not changed much in more than 50 years. I got onto a tram that I thought was the right one to connect with my regular tram but no, it wasn't, so I had further to walk than I was expecting. But enjoyed seeing more of Albert Park Lake.  My phone died just as heavy rain drops started ( I had been carrying my rain jacket all day because of the forecast) and I had to rummage in my daypack for my portable charger. I was not impressed , but the rain drops soon stopped.

In the supermarket near me I bought some soup for lunch. There is  a microwave here, but no container to put food , like soup, into.  There is a 2 hob gas stove and a saucepan. But I could not work out how to use the stove. It lit but then stopped. I will ask tomorrow  for a microwave container. Though cold pumpkin soup is OK.
