Some Slow Things for the Time Being
1) Take a long-cut (instead of a short-cut) through the city's laneways - the City of Melbourne's Laneway Commissions start-up again from 4 July.2) Delight in daphne - it's in flower at the moment.
3) Putt along the Maribyrnong on the old Blackbird ferry - see a very different perspective of the city by boat, chugging about the container ships of the Port of Melbourne.
4) squeeze a few of you into a photo booth for a trio of lasting snaps. (There's one at Melbourne Central.)
5) Use your old phonebooks as pads for kneeling on in the garden, or splash the pages with vinegar and clean the windows.
6) Notice Newspaper House next time you're in Collins St - especially that Deco-style mural painted in 1932.
7) Have a don't-spend-a-dollar day - perhaps next Monday the 30th to mark the end of the financial year.
8) Take the human-operated lift in the Nicholas Building and stop at Buttonmania and Blindside gallery.
9) Don't, whatever you do, use the words: 'do', 'tax' & 'your'.

You should also get Noise out on video. Just coz it's really good. And a list of nine things to do seemed...incomplete and in need of a number 10.
Am I gonna skew the list by adding an eleventh item? I just made a lemon tart from scratch: rolled the pastry, zested the lemons, everything. It was surprisingly easy (only uses about five ingredients). And very yummy. Nice way to spend a Sunday anyway: making a cake and eating it too.
