01. As always, Robbie Williams delivered. All the hits, lots of banter. And he sung a little bit of ‘De Koning’s in the Air‘…

02. …the Robbie/Carlton collab makes me very, very happy (here and here).

03. Dinner at Maha North – the whipped hummus with pumpkin was spectacular and the slow roasted lamb with smoked eggplant, za’atar and pine nut jus was deeply satisfying.

04. Japanese Slippers at Above Board. They never went out IMO but very glad to see a nineties vibe on cocktail lists.

05. Listening: one of my faves has a new song out – Settle Petal by The Buoys. Now I’m busting for an album.

06. Watched: Spinning Out (Netflix) – overly dramatic but it sucked me in.

07. Stay tuned! My ‘Best of 2023’ lists are in production.

08. Beach prep.

09. Hydrangeas started blooming this week.
