01. Ten hours of music fun at Laneway Festival. Highlights: on the ‘small’ stage, Bel Air Lip Bombs and Teen Jesus delivered. On the big stages, I loved seeing Lucy Dacus and Role Model but the highlights were Wet Leg and (of course) Chappell.

02. Saw two films this week:

• The Birthday Party, part of the upcoming Europa Europa film festival – enjoyed the seventies-island vibe (think Slim Aarons on film) but overall, weird.
• Wuthering Heights – I loved it. If you’re unsure, just go in and don’t overthink it.

03. Watching: started Dog Park (ABC) – shaping up to be a terrific series and the soundtrack is brilliant (Teen Jesus, Rat Cat and Nik Kershaw in the first few minutes).

04. Women’s Prize for Nonfiction 2026 longlist – have read (and loved) the Roy, and want to read Perry, Evans and Green.

05. Eating: Lune’s everything croissant. It really is everything.

06. This post about spectating and the winter Olympics made me laugh.
