Breaking the Golden rule

6th, 7th and 8th August 2017

For three days each August we head down to Melbourne and attend the “Gift Trade Fair. We have had our gift shop for 22 plus years and a such we have attended the August Gift fairs for 23 years in a row (never missed). We purchase much of our Christmas stock for both “Canning A.R.T.S.” and “Yarrawonga Fun and Games” over these three days. Its a very busy time for us but we do enjoy getting out of the shops and seeing our Suppliers. Many of our suppliers we have had many years and some date back the full 23 years. 

There are probably 20 different places we have stayed to go to various business events in Melbourne over the years but of late we have been staying in the “Atlantis Hotel” on Spencer street due to good rates, parking and breakfast included. It also is not that far from the Exhibition building so we can walk there and back. The best part of these trips is the fact we get to go out for meals on the business. We have found a couple of places we like not far from the hotel and we have eaten there a few times each.  “Il Sole” is right next to the Hotel and is a lovely small Italian restaurant which we enjoy (forgot to take photos). The other place is the “Mail Exchange” hotel. Here is my Steak and Rhonda’s Lamb Ragout.

It was a good trip. Sometimes we don’t find alot of new items for the shops but this time we came back with more ideas than money to make them happen. 

We also got to spend a little time with Pokemon Go in the city which is very different to playing it here at home. We added many new Gym badges and we even managed to hold down on of the Spencer Street gyms overnight (very surprising). Here is a Psyduck that was jumping for joy near the “Polly Woodside” down by the Yarra river. 

This brings me to breaking the “Golden rule”. We have a rule that we don’t do phones at the dinner table, This applies to home or going out for dinner. Well when we sat down for Dinner in “Mail Exchange Hotel” we saw that we were at a Pokemon Gym, It was red and we just couldn't resist the chance to take it down and add a new Gym to our list. We did all our tapping away as quickly and as inconspicuously as we could and claimed the Gym. Our phones then went away and a lovely dinner was had. This is not something we intend to start doing so shhhh. The Golden rule is still in place even though we bent it this one time.
