WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

I went out to take a look at a Robin Boyd house that's just gone up for sale.
It's a lovely place, and is at number 21, which has obvious connotations.
The downside is that Melbourne (and Sydney) are in enormous property bubbles. The agent gave a price guide of between $1.6 to $1.8 million. It's going to auction in a few weeks, and I suspect that it'll go for north of $2 million.
Anyone got a million or so I can borrow?
-
In a few years you may be able to buy it for less, perhaps even a LOT less.

Yesterday I took a walk along the Northern Beaches in Sydney. As you can see, the weather in the depths of the Australian winter was unforgiving…
This is Palm Beach, which is pretty much the most northerly part of Sydney. Fans of dubious Australian soaps will no doubt recognise it from Home and Away.
Whale Beach is the next cove down.
I was wearing my Vibergs, which were apparently inspired by Tatooine. They worked well on the sand.

The Northern Beaches are on a narrow peninsula, and the Pittwater is a river system and estuary that runs behind it. It's a popular area for sailing, and people have holiday homes up here.
This is the view across to Scotland Island, which is only accessible by boat.
Local colour.
I'm pretty sure that this is the immature form of the Gosport Mushroom! :o

and they look great…
I like the look, but I don't entirely get on with the 2030 last that the Styleforum crowd seem to be obsessed by. They're a bit cramped in the toe, and my feet are feeling it slightly.
The fact that I walked 17 km yesterday, and 16 km today probably didn't help.

Today I took a look at a place that's up for sale…
It's a 1950s house designed by Harry Seidler, who is one of the early modernist architects in Sydney. I've mentioned it before. It needs a lot of love, but it'd be a fantastic place.
Shame the Sydney property market has gone full retard.
This truck was parked outside, and also needs a bit of love. Its flatbed was loaded up with panels for old cars.
Whilst heading back across town I stumbled across a totem pole in a park. No idea what it was doing there…
And a bit down the road from this is Deus Customs. They've gone a bit mainstream and possibly full hipster, but had a few cool machines on display. The café there is pretty good though.
@Giles they'd seem like a natural fit for Iron Heart. There was even a (less cool) XJ1300 in.
Aside from that, Sydney provided poor competition against Melbourne on the cool street names front.
And I had dinner from a cool Chinese eatery called Two Sticks. They do fantastic, spiced fries.

grilliant! @Graeme
