I realise this raise is not standard but I hadn't played a hand for a while and figured it's ok to mix things up every now and then. Although with a drawing hand is it better to get more people to see a flop?

I C - bet my draw on the flop - ok play?
On the turn should I bet again to try to win more money if I hit my flush plus the chance of picking up the pot right there? Or with the pair showing should I be worried about being re-raised off the hand?

Bet less on the river?

Looks good to me. At these stakes the opps will be liable to call all 3 streets with 77 or something, so I'd just take the free card on the turn. Nice hand.

Dont worry about mixing things up at micro limits, nobody is paying attention to it.

Generally speaking with mid suited connectors you want to see a flop cheaply with a lot of limpers. So raising from EP is not the way to go, frmo EP I fold this, because if the pot is raised you usually have to fold.
From MP its OK to limp, from the button you can raise once in a while to steal the blinds (either preflop or with a c-bet after the flop)

 ^^^ what he said. In addition to the fact that you might have to fold preflop after limping in EP, draws are much more difficult to play OOP.

If you're going to mix it up at least do it in position.

And finally, if you're mixing it up out of boredom either take a break or add another table.

 Another side note to your river play
Villian most likely has absolutly nothing, he called the preflop raise, called you flop bet, checked the turn and checked the river.
His possible holdings are either Ax that hoped for an A or a flush draw that hits.
In case he has a flush draw no matter what you bet on the river he will raise you
In case he has Ax your only option of extracting some money is making a small bet - probably 0.15 or 0.20 that he may call
