01. Fog and gumtrees for Tuesday’s swim (not my usual pool).
02. Saturday night – #ALLTHESTRESS with the Matildas. Then calmed down at a Candlelight Concert (the Invictus String Quartet doing Taylor Swift hits – it was brilliant). Then #ALLTHESTRESS again when I watched the last ten minutes of the Carlton game.
03. Bloom, MTC’s musical comedy set in a nursing home, was absolutely terrific. I laughed, I cried. And yeah, some bits were close to the bone. Anne Edmonds was hilarious (I can’t help but think of this whenever I see her).
04. This week’s Melbourne International Film Festival selections:
- Fairyland – gentle, sad, based on the memoir of the same name by Alysia Abbott.
- Blackberry – laughed and laughed. It’s an insane story.
- Past Lives – my favourite so far. Wonderful in every way. See it.
05. Don’t need new snorkeling gear, but…
06. Made a delicious pumpkin and four cheese lasagne.
07. Loving going to university open days with my son.
