As I walked down the north side of the building this morning I looked up and what should I see but a clutch of hot air balloons drifting overhead.

This is a common sight in Melbourne at this time of the year, but I have to be in the right place at the right time to see them. Often my view is obstructed by buildings and once I am out on the street there is a much clearer view of the sky.

This morning’s lot were coming down low over the river and heading off in a south-westerly direction. As I watch them I often wonder where they will be landing; seeing a landing would make my day.

I think hot air balloons are the greatest; they give my day a kick start when I catch a glimpse of them in the early morning.
