01. Reine and La Rue exceeded all expectations (which were high!). Highlights: their version of a seafood cocktail; an insanely good duck parfait with pickled rhubarb; and soft serve with roasted hazelnuts for dessert – simple and so, so delicious.

02. ABBA-themed spin class. And yes, I wore my very best ABBA tee.

03. A visit to the Mellow Art Market with my daughter – it’s basically cute stationery, sticker and enamel pin heaven. I bought more washi tape than I will ever conceivably need.

04. Watching: Starstruck S3 (ABC) – how good is this series?! And, even though I have zero interest in tennis, I’ve been totally sucked in to the Netflix series, Break Point.

05. First peek at the British Film Festival program for 2023.

06. Summer frock.

07. A next-level sandwich (chicken and grilled capsicum) at the newish Queens Bodega in Clifton Hill.

08. Such a good footy year. Bring on 2024.
