November 20, 2010 Where in heck am I???

So, first of all, I saw this paved street:

Then, I spotted these zucchini blossoms:

And, finally, was that really some Nesti Dante soap?

Had I fallen asleep and dreamed I was in Italy? A little pinch soon told me I was awake. All of these photos were, in fact, taken here in Melbourne. The first 3 I found within 5 minutes walk from my home for the next 2 months. The soap was a gift from my son: he'd found it while out for a wander.

PS I have managed to disrupt the format of this blog, and have lost some of the features: blogs I follow, people who follow my blog, and so on. I'm waiting for some help to get things back on track again. (Cross your fingers for me, please.)
