01. The Go-Go’s documentary (it was an ace end to the Melbourne International Film Festival).
02. The Junkees podcast (probably only of interest to Aus listeners) – raises so many issues. Have already sent Kitty and Dave multiple emails.
03. Steamy Sutton soap. The COVID fun never ends.
04. Cocktails this week – the Melbourne Mixtape (I’m supporting the hospitality industry, okay?).
05. Richard Fidler talking about his new book, The Golden Maze (described as a ‘biography of Prague’).
06. This is my new crack.
07. Spotting the upcoming Meg Mason convo at Readings. (I haven’t published my review of Sorrow & Bliss yet, but I can let you know now that it will be in my top five for the year).
08. And also this Hetty McKinnon event (I am obsessed with her salads).
09. Hula hoops (they’re fancy, they glow-in-the-dark, and we’re learning new tricks).
10. Live Penguin TV.
11. A cooking class with Burch & Purchese (making the honeycomb was chaos but the finished product – Chocolate and Orange Cream with Passionfruit Jelly, Passionfruit Curd, Honeycomb, and Salted Caramel – was delicious).
That dessert looks amazing!
It was! But has given me a new appreciation for the effort required to make desserts with multiple components – so much time to prepare, eaten so quickly… 😀
4. Your selfless sacrifice is a lesson to us all Kate 😀
Always happy to take one for the team.
Yes please to that pudding!
When we were making it, the chef said, “Now if you have leftover chocolate cream….” and my kids looked at me like ‘what’s ‘leftover’ chocolate cream??’ – never happened in our house! 😀
That must have been a fun cooking class!
I used to have a pink hula hoop that smelled like musk lollies. I was never very good at it though
My kids are great at the hula hoop. I’m not so great, but improving (and in Melbourne, we are finding all sorts of ways to exercise at home).
I am dying to see the Go-Go’s doc – glad to hear you enjoyed it.
It was brilliant (I hadn’t quite appreciated how deep their punk roots were….)
Thanks for sharing things that are making you happy this week.
It continues to be a good COVID exercise for me 🙂
