The Gang’s been off the radar big time for a week – we had to do a dash to Melbs to spend some time with Sammy Jo before she took off for Burma. All trés excitement/very last minute/out of the blue – so we didn’t do anything even faintly arty; it was entirely SJ focused, ‘cos goodness knows when we’ll see her again.
Anyhoo, between the rounds of innoculations and shopping (for pragmatic essentials, yadda yadda) we did manage a snap of our fave elevator in Melbourne, at the old Athenaeum Club…
Too, too gorgey for words…
Mind you, it’s a wing and a prayer jobbie. Granny got stuck once.
Bon Voyage and lotsa love, Sammy Jo….
…the next time we see you, with any luck, it will be up the Irrawaddy.

this melb elevator looks to me like an chair for confession.
where is the priest?
and is there something like a “high elevator club” along with it?
Oh no, Klausie, no mile-high elevator business going on here! The Athenaeum Club is Melbourne’s oldest cultural institution, founded in 1839. It’s very old school – though it’s always moved with the times and houses the Comedy Club and all sorts of other stuff.
