Santa's sack slipped & someone nicked the tips
By Meredith
I'm in Mebourne, having my usual Christmas / New Year break with family and old friends. On Christmas Day, after a beautiful lunch of mushroom and asparagus risotto, baked vegetables, salad, berry and passionfruit pavlova, Christmas pudding with custard, Christmas cake, and chocolates, I was assailed by this sight of sights:
On Boxing Day, wandering along Brunswick St, Fitzroy, I heard this conversation between a Koori couple sitting with lattes outside The Black Cat:
her: "A blackfella went in and stole their tips bowl."
him (groaning, head in hands): "You're kidding me."
Today, I'm going underwear shopping with my mother at David Jones. I suggested we meet on the Flinders St Station steps, but mother came up with a better idea - the Big Purse.

What a terrific sculpture the big purse is! Trust Melbourne to be adorned in such a manner. I am travelling to the tennis late in January and the BP is now on my list - together with the "lane culture" I keep reading about.
Jesus, I just had another look at that Santa.
