Tomorrow I'll be on ABC Radio Melbourne as a guest with David Astle on his 'Victorian Evenings' programme.

We'll be talking about retro shopping centres and perhaps some other local history topics from 8pm on Wednesday 19 March.

Tune in on your radio to 774 AM or online: abc.net.au/listen/live/melbour

Nice idea - trying to bring back marine life to Port Phillip Bay:

"We sail out into the bay to start repairing the damage. Andy and Scott Breschkin are divers and scientists – and today, they are testing a world-first experiment to repair our bay and others like it.

"Our vessel is a 35-year-old retired abalone boat. We have four white bottles of air, two yellow hoses, and a captain named Will Morgan. As we sail out from Black Rock Jetty, he pulls up his buff so all we can see is his sunglasses, which reflect endless grey-blue.

"The plan: head to the most damaged, denuded part of the bay, and try to make life grow anew. The spot is easy to pick – a dump site. Nature Conservancy Australia, the charity for whom Andy and Scott work, plan to build a new shellfish reef on top of it."

hahahaaaa I told you I wasn’t sure who was better, the act or the audience - Naarm really has been on a mission to make this visit unforgettable to these guys of Kneecap. #Melbourne #hiphop

instagram post of the band Kneecap, with a photo of one of the group’s rappers on stage with a bronze head of king, saying: “Well well a chairde Gael! Some madman dropped by with a huge King George's head so he could hear a few tunes for our last Melbourne show!”
article from the Guardian, with a photo of a decapitated bronze statue of a king. “Severed head of King George V statue may have resurfaced at Irish rappers’ Melbourne gig. Hip hop trio Kneecap appeared to show head of King’s Domain statue beheaded nine months ago.”

My favourite #melbourne tradition is how on the last day they open for the season, Pascoe Vale pool invites the local dogs to come for a swim. It might have been the happiest place in the city today. Absolutely worth getting soaked by a rainstorm for. They were such good doggos

This morning our volunteer group potted over 100 cuttings and several punnet of seeds! We have potted hardy plants such as geraniums, jasmine, various varieties of succulents, coriander, parley, thyme, and oregano.

As those of you who are following the Grand Prix will know, Melbourne has had soaking rain all morning - very welcome by gardeners after sustained dry, hot weather. We started in the rain at 7:30am by getting a large collection of cuttings from my mother's garden, then went home, put a tarpaulin on the garage floor and started potting. While we worked, we moved potted plants onto the footpath to get watered by the rain.

We hope to plant them out in our street in a few weeks and organise a street party where we give some plants away to neighbours. So we need to get onto organising that!
