I think I have published this Happy video before, set in Melbourne, This time it comes with some notes from me that may interest some. While I will continue to complain and about things in Melbourne, it is a rather nice place and I take some pride in it. I may do the same with the very popular St Kilda Happy.

ReplyDeleteGosia, pretty hard to match the two up, I know.
DeleteThere are always things to complain about - but I do like your fondness for your city. I am fond of mine too.
ReplyDeleteEC, good and bad aspects to every city, but yours and mine, although very different, are both successful cities.
DeleteThey all are very happy, it's hard to get a smile out of Sydney people on the way to work, on the way home they are al asleep I know I was.
ReplyDeleteMerle..............
Merle, that is because you lot up there party so hard and stay up late at night.
DeleteThat's a lovely video. I saw part of it due to data whilst I am away. No matter where we live or what we do, there is always something wrong with it, well usually :) My husband is a Virgo, that should say enough! I also read that in China a lot of employers will not employ Virgos as they are too critical!
ReplyDeleteWA, I am not well versed in star signs, except as a Libran, I am balanced. There must always be a place for critical people. Of course we could diverge into bringing up children who are never criticised, but we won't today.
DeleteVery pretty city.......and a lot of Happy people.
ReplyDeleteAllan, and pretty lousy dancing really.
DeleteMy favourite is the Tram Bar at the Arts Centre. But mainly because I have rarely seen public transport being used as a bar in any other city.
ReplyDeleteI like it Hels. Been there once. There was a tram in a bar in Launceston.
DeleteMelbourne looking good Andrew, but I'm just not happy :) I get like that when I can't breath.. blegh!
ReplyDeleteGrace, seems you are getting better. You need to be well for your forthcoming flight.
DeleteHaven't watched it yet. I'll get to it when my back eases off enough to sit longer than a couple of minutes.
ReplyDeleteOh River, that is not good. Walking helps R with his back issues.
