One day at a time

There has been further progress on the apartments on Victoria Street. There are now walls (some) and a floor, but no roof on the front block, which will contain my apartment. There are still two other blocks to build, so there is still a way to go before the development is completed.

After breakfast, we walked up to Daylesford main street to watch the parade. The crowd was smaller than last year, but then the weather had been much better. There was still a good show and this parade is always lots of fun. Came back to the hotel and then walked up to the Convent Gallery for brunch. Nice place although I object to paying to go into a gallery that is essential a rather big shop. Came back and drove up to the Daylesford Park, although I took a different route than usual and looks like so many others had had the same concerns about parking on a muddy field as the nearby streets were fu...
