Other Stuff from Melbourne

Always wanted an espresso machine. Actually, H did buy me one many many years ago - think about 15 years ago. It was a Krups. But I sold it to Cash Converters when we were leaving Bangkok. Thereafter, couldn't find any that was affordable. Wanted to buy one when we were in the US but the different voltage would be a problem. Finally, bought one from Melbourne. It's Breville.  There was an offer with the coffee grinder. (errr..... I didn't assemble the machine when I took the photo. So the drip plate and filter are missing.....)

Some very fattening nuts. Actually, am told that nuts are really nutritious. I love nuts...(those shown here and those elsewhere...Ahem! Ahem!...hahahahahaha). Anyway, these are caramel-coated ones that we bought from Queen Victoria Market

Bought this Brush Set and Disposable Palette Paper in one of the NewsAgent. Very malu when my art teacher tries to use my existing brushes and they are in such sad condition (I never clean them properly. I know. Terrible.)

If you've read about the Dinner Party we hosted, you'll know why we need to get these bottles of bubbly from the duty free shop at Melbourne Airport....


Mmmm...what else did we buy? Bottles and bottles of Evening Primrose Oil, pyjamas for boys, some history books, some magazines and some sweets. Haven't taken pictures of these items. Will do so when I've charged my camera.....
