01. A whole day to begin my #NovNov25 reading (with a tin of chips).
02. The season of ‘we-must-catch-up-before-Christmas’ dinners has began. Lovely to see old friends this week.
03. ‘Attended’ an international online conference – Dying to Live Living to Die: An Existential Paradox – that had some truly amazing speakers. Hopefully recordings of the sessions will be released because the timing was tricky in Melbourne (unless you like being awake at 4am)!
04. Saw Eleanor the Great at the Jewish International Film Festival – such a terrific film (because I laughed and cried) about friendship, grief and the telling of a story.
05. Watching: Nobody Wants This S2 (Netflix) – not quite as slick as S1 but still funny. And The Golden Bachelor (9 Now) – I’m yo-yoing between being hardly able to watch (because cringing) and laughing along with the women’s conversations about things like bunions.
06. Finished uni which means a big clean-out of the study – I’ve started and everything already feels more organised.
07. New doormat 😀 (Bluey makes me laugh).
Can’t wait to see Eleanor the Great so glad to hear you enjopyed it
Anything that makes me laugh and cry, I love. The characters in this film were so good and it’s a really interesting take on the idea of ‘whose story is it to tell’ (which obviously applies to many situations).
Those chips look delicious! Nothing beats a bowl of potato chips and a great book with nothing to interrupt your day. I’m envious!
So, so good 😀
Cute doormat!
Yep – have a little boogie as you cross the threshold!
I’m watching Nobody Wants This but… It does have some aspects that rub me the wrong way. Still, the cast is good.
I’m only a few episodes in – not quite as dryly funny as last season but I will watch it all!
So you say “chips” (American) rather than “crisps” (British)?!
Aussies do. Do Americans say Chips. Somehow I thought they were Crisps too and I have lived there! But now I think about it … I have grown up with Chips so maybe American usage didn’t stick out when we lived there because it was familiar.
We say chips for both hot and cold chips (but somehow we all know what we’re talking about…). I think the British version is crisps and chips, and the American chips and fries? (We do say fries in Australia but refers to very thin French Fries, which aren’t very popular).
Love the door mat … that might be a gift for our Melbourne family. Where did you get it? Though I suppose I can just search the Internet. BTW did you know that the BBC – or so we were told recently – has the rights for all BLUEY merchandising?
The doormat was just from Bunnings ($20) – they had a few Bluey designs but Dance Mode was our favourite.
I did know about Bluey merchandising – Bluey is BIG business!
Thanks Kate … I did an internet search and found it. At $20 it would be a fun Xmas gift I think. And wouldn’t matter if they didn’t like it.
Everyone likes Bluey 😀
