01. Kim Wilde at The Palais. She is always amazing. So many hits.
02. And more eighties music love – excited to be going to Cyndi Lauper’s concert (She’s So Unusual is one of my most favourite albums ever).
03. Pesto bringing his big waddle energy (note that his Wiki page – yes, he has one – has a subheading ‘Cultural Impact’).
04. The Piccolina collab season has started. Philippa Sibley’s cinnamon doughnut gelato was good but Simon Ball-Smith’s Frosty Fruit gelato was out of this world.
05. My daughter and I had a big Melbourne Fashion Week day out – first stop was a tour of the Australian Performing Arts collection where we saw everything from Dame Joan Sutherland’s wigs to Peter Allen’s maracas, as well as where they do the conservation and restoration work. Stopped by a few free events and then on to the Closing Showcase. It’s the people-watching more than the fashion that interests me.
06. …and a few famous faces in the audience (‘famous’ depending on what you’re into – but I like Australian music and a bit of Selling Sunset).
07. Watching: Fisk S3. Exactly my sense of humour.
08. Saw the documentary Your Fat Friend about activist (and now author and podcaster) Aubrey Gordon. An important, thought-provoking piece. See it if you can.
09. Always a sucker for blue nail polish.
10. A few years ago a tree in our garden died. When it was removed, there was a straggly fig there, which had been supported by the tree that was removed. I staked it and now, three years on, it is huge and this summer, is bearing fruit. Hooray!
