Share Four Somethings - July

Somehow this month has slipped by and I'm not prepared....so a quick one this time.

Something I'm Loving: Last weekend, after a few blank weekends, I was out with friends Friday to Sunday - it was great to feel like the old me for a bit. With one group, last year I suggested we go to Dark Mofo but it never got off the ground. While sitting around drinking cocktails, another friend said we HAD to go next year (and do the Nude swim - I was all about the art but apparently I have to do this too....) so I am loving the idea that perhaps I'll get there next year!! (Tho not so keen on the nude swim bit).

After a very busy 10 days of barely seeing my husband, I'm loving that the kids are all out and we are off to a movie together today. Oppenheimer because Chriostopeher Nolan is fabulous! (As an aside, I'm sure we did a book on Oppenheimer at school in the 80's - any clue what that was??)

I am also loving this song. It might be the happiest song I've ever heard. I was walking to dinner last night and it came on and it literally put a spring in my step and increased my pace. Give it a listen, you need to wait a bit before it kicksd in and does it's magic. No words or video so suitable for work or around tiny people.

Something I'm Learning:  Fisrtly, there is apparently a genre of music calleed Sax House and I've been listening to it for 5 years and only just discovered it's actually a genre. 

This podcast on Orcas was fascinating. In part because of why they might be ramming boats (the covid lockdowns were pleasant for them and now the plethora of noisy craft are aggravating them) and for the fun fact of how sperm whales literally sh!t themselves when attacked by orca to protect their calves in a cloud of obscurity.

For the Australian readers, it was alarming to learn that the Government is not fact checking the pamphlets on the Voice. Both the yes and no pamphlets are just opinions. If you have questions, you can send them to the Full Story and they will answer them over the next 8 weeks (I think). This is worth a listen, the guests are in the Yes camp so there is a bias but the Journalists will be fact checking answers to questions. (I am slightly annoyed tax payer dollars are being wasted on non factual material). It should simply be a 'here's the scope & legalities, here's the intended benefit and here are the potential risks' but all based on fact.

Something I'm Reading: I am struggling to read at the moment - even the guide books I got from the library to narrow down where to stay in Japan. I am basically reading emails and the ATO website...YAWN!

Something I'm Eating:  I am still on my Sunday roast bent. My husband was complaining about why we were going to Paddington for lunch (which I'd organised with his friends, I might add - purely that Sydney tribal mentality that Inner West don't go East - for those out of Sydney, Paddington is pretty much central not east but whatever!) Anyway, I got my roast fix - $38 will get you more than enough food (Merivale's The Paddington) but we got entrees to share, so everyone left a little on their plate - but the raw kingfish balls are sensational.
