Again, nothing happened, so I thought I'd bore you with more thrilling tales of public transport. There are two tram stops outside our front door. One of them is well-served by two tramlines (three if you count the City Circle free tourist tram). All the trams here take us along Flinders Street, and drop us about 200m down the hill from work. The other one is served by The Ghost Tram.

The tram stop has a timetable for line 31. No tram has ever been seen displaying this number. Occasionally, a tram bearing a 109 or a 112 is seen at this stop, and we have caught a couple to work. The route appeals to our natural laziness. The total distance we have to walk at each end is less than the height the lifts take us. When returning from work, no tram 31 is ever displayed on the electronic message boards, although timetables are posted. Sometimes, seemingly at random, a 109 tram will, instead of turning off for the wholesome delights of Port Melbourne, continue straight along Collins Street to our flat. It's all very puzzling.

Tomorrow is AFL Grand Final Parade. The Grand Final itself is on Saturday. According to the locals, the rate of beer consumption is likely to reach satisfactory levels. I shall do my small part to assist.
