Heading to Melbourne, end November

Am heading over to Melbourne for the last week or so of November and would love to hear any suggestions on what to see or do.
Old favourites mean dropping by the Metropolis Bookstore in the Curtin Building, Sticky, the NVG (don't you love that it's called the 'National'?!). Planning to check out the Gorker Gallery too.
Thanks go to Sundari for posting a similar request and her readers for offering the following suggestions... Breakfast, Lamington Drive and a small Japanese bakery - Breadtop.

I can't wait!

** Edit: Thanks for the tips from Jo and Gregory.

Little Space

 It's been over a month since the last post – slack? Yes. Busy? Definitely! I've moved into a new little space in Subiaco. The pic on the left, above, is the room as it was three weeks ago – bright blue window sills, canary yellow skirting boards and mouldings (is that what they're called?) and pink door frame! We painted the whole thing white, added some furniture and a light globe, and Bob's your uncle!

Still settling in and been busy with Semi-Permanent so hoping next week all is back to normal and I'm back into getting lots of work done...
