New duck, racing, more signs


There's a new duck in town! I spotted this big duck hanging out with a pair of little wood ducks on the Yarra when I walked into the city today.

I went to the gym, the first time I've worked out on Sunday in ages. Quite pleased with myself. If I can just keep it up...

After the gym and lunch,  I walked to Lygon Street to see the last leg of the Herald-Sun Tour bike race. Luke couldn't go, so I went for him. I never paid much attention to professional cycling until I started seeing Luke, but I found it quite exciting when the stream of cyclists zoomed past me. I took many photos.

I spotted some more old signs in Carlton:

 Trades Hall driveway

 
Entrance to the old underground public toilets
on Faraday Street

 
Rathdowne Street. Can't quite make out what the old sign says...

 
Better [something] better gifts?

Skinny


Look at this funny little narrow house! It's on Swanston Street in Carlton. It's like a terrace house without the terrace, but it doesn't look as if buildings on either side were demolished. Strange, but cute.
