It’s the final week of Nonfiction November, hosted by Jamie at The OC BookGirl.
So what’s the damage? Not quite as many as usual (November was busy and I didn’t get to participate quite as much as I’d hoped). Nevertheless, a few additions to the TBR stack – 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
01. Spice World at the Lido. I had no memory of all the insane cameos, or just how bananas the whole thing was.

01. Light: Work from Tate’s Collection at Fed Square – loved the mix of old and new. The huge, hanging sculpture Stardust Particle by Eliasson, was mesmerising. Continue reading
01. I’m devastated about the death of Olivia but thankful for her wonderful music – truly part of the soundtrack of my youth. A childhood watching Grease on loop with my cousins; modelling my outfit and hairstyle for my Yr 8 social on her Xanadu look; having her songs in pretty much every mixtape / playlist I’ve ever created; and picking her for the all important ‘last song of the night’ at my 50th. Particularly thankful for this gem that has surfaced (all my favourites in one place – imagine being there!): Continue reading
01. The Picture of Dorian Gray is, without question, the most amazing and creative thing I’ve ever seen on stage. This article explains how some of the incredible staging was achieved. Continue reading
