01. Best night at the Wheeler Centre seeing Sloane Crosley. She talked about writing both fiction and nonfiction, noting that “In complimenting fiction, people say ‘It’s so believable, so realistic’ but in complimenting memoir they say ‘It’s unbelievable!’”. Plus I was thrilled to hear that there’s a movie script for Cult Classic underway, and that her new work of narrative nonfiction focuses on grief (Grief is for People, out next year).

01. Finally got to RONE – the installations were astounding (the library! The sewing room!) but I also loved seeing the parts of Flinders Street Station previously not accessible to the public (the pressed metal walls and ceilings are spectacular). Continue reading

01. Temple of Boom feat. D.rez at National Gallery Victoria – it’s a beautiful space to be in (my friend Sam and I spent much time during lockdown walks hunting down D.rez’s street art). Continue reading
01. My baby who’s been away the longest returned home this week. He spent five months in Europe – his favourite places were Montenegro (which is where the pic above was taken), Lapland (below), and the city of Brussels. Continue reading
01. Dozens (or hundreds?…Felt like hundreds) of gin distillers at Junipalooza. We did our bit to support local industry. My absolute favourites for the day: Continue reading
