There happens to be 10 Go-Slows, which would make this a Top 10:

1) Get ‘Closer, Together’ with other Melburnians at a Next Wave (til 31 May) show. (See our earlier post).

2) The supreme Slow act: shop at a farmers market, at the supremely Slow Abbotsford Convent (fourth Saturday of each month); check Melbourne Community Farmers' Markets for others.

3) Get some perspective: go to the State Library of Victoria and read the newspaper for that day, say, 20 years ago.

4) Take five minutes and sit on one of the benches outside the Town Hall to admire two iconic Melbourne buildings in one glance: the golden brown Manchester Unity, which was built during the depression and the Century Building by the same architect, Marcus Barlow, at the other end of the block. The towers of each of these buildings busted through the 40m height limit, getting through on a technicality – that they were mere decoration.

5) Snooze.

6) Go to the footy, especially those who never go. (Erm: Doggies and North Melbourne will be a cracker this weekend - Sunday at Docklands.)

7) Forage for fungi at T’Gallant winery (see earlier post) - for the next two Sundays. It's the perfect opportunity to get out and about and savour the sounds, sights, smells and tastes of Autumn.

8) Slip a compliment into the Complaints box at the supermarket (‘…great that you’re stocking more organic produce’, or ‘...like your thinking: putting the popcorn kernels in with the rice and flour rather than with the snack foods…’).

9) Admire a city street, after the rain, particularly around dusk when it feels all Taxi Driver. Bring a camera to record the colours and reflections.

10) The Gyuto Monks of Tibet are touring their Happiness Connection show/chant/meditation is on 24 & 25 June at the Incinerator (a Burley Griffin-design that’s worth a look).
