Friday was one of those gorgeous sunny Melbourne days. It was also the quarterly "awards" programme we have at work where performers are recognised and we have a bit of a party in the boardroom followed by drinks somewhere.

This Friday I was a nominee / finalist and it was good that the hard work from the previous quarter was appreciated and recognised.

Celebrations took us to Transit bar which has a rooftop terrace in Fed Square and I loved the view of Southbank and home!

I had to cut the drinks short though and head home for an early night as we had to be up at 3:45am!

Saturday morning was hot air balloon day. It was our second attempt as our first date (my birthday) was cancelled due to low cloud and rain...I'll tempt you with a teaser photo as Steve says he'll blog about the experience and I am not to turn the offer down!

Saturday night was a date night for Mr.B and I. We enjoyed a late one in Maha and were thoroughly exhausted by the time bedtime came having been up so early. This was in spite of a 3 hour nap I had in the afternoon!

My birthday celebrations continued and I met up with Charlotte and Claire for a ladies' lavish lunch at Nobu with lots of cocktails...

Steve spent Sunday at the cricket with work and I enjoyed the decadent birthday lunch. We finished things off with martinis and bellinis at the Atrium bar in the casino only to avoid the heavy rain that came in of course!

    We are Steve and Minda and we've been given the opportunity to move to Melbourne for two years. We arrived November 2010 and passed that two year milestone and are now Australian citizens! This is a blog of our experiences as we move to this new country, settle in and have fun!
