So Melbourne has a North & South side rivalry, with the North side of the river boasting the ‘hipster’ types in Fitzroy and Carlton areas while the Southern suburbs of Prahran & Toorak housing the ‘money’ types and is actually equivalent to the North side of Sydney. Luckily my place in South Yarra, technically South but in fact borders the two areas so luckily for me I’m from the right side of the tracks no matter who I speak to!

Just call me Bob

Explanation of the photo above:  I naively went to Ikea on Saturday to buy a set of drawers, forgetting just how painful flat packs can be – starting from the simple task of lifting them into the tiny Toyota Yaris I’d hired for the weekend!  The pain continued when I realised in order to assemble the thing, they assumed I had a whole toolbox of screwdrivers and hammers! I don’t.

After a trip to Big W, now an easy 5 minute walk from my place, I was hammering away like a boss and 3 hours later had created this little gem which is possibly my greatest ever creation.

I took this photo in utter excitement, which I suspect will continue pretty much every time I see my labour of love!
