It’s always raining in this city. Sigh…

Drunk Jumping of the Day: Four suited-up gentlemen gave patrons of the classy Vue de Monde restaurant in Melbourne’s Rialto Towers quite a thrill when they suddenly dashed towards the balcony and lept off.
The foursome turned out to be BASE jumpers ditching a tab at the restuarant’s Lui Bar in spectacular style.
According to owner Shannon Bennett, the men entered the restroom in succession shortly before the stunt, where they put on their parachutes, and then headed straight for the 55th floor balcony and jumped.
The 886-ft. skyscraper, noted for being the tallest office building in the Southern Hemisphere (floor to roof), has 56 stories in all.
The identities of the jumpers have yet to be revealed, but Bennett says they all wore helmet-cams, so he expects to see footage of dine-and-jump on YouTube “pretty soon.”

Gotta love Melbourne sometimes. Never a dull day in the city, eh?
On Friday I had the opportunity to attend the Melbourne Taste Food and Wine Festival. We got to taste some amazing canapés, drink some delicious wines, and meet some pretty impressive chefs and cocktail makers.
The highlight of the night was a little unexpected, though. We attended a wine-tasting class, divulging in the wonders of Australian Pinot Noir’s. While I am a fan of such tasty wines, and I enjoyed the class, my favourite moment might be somewhat… frowned upon. Along with my amazing friend, Fi, I took a seat amidst a group of other smartly dressed wine tasters. As they swivelled their glasses and the instructor blabbed on about notes and fruit and wood and the scent, Fi sniffed her glass and exclaimed: “I do detect a hint of…. hangover, with a mild taste of what could be a 3am trip to McDonalds. Classy? Not in the least. Hilarious? No doubt about it.
