My Five Favourite Monthly Moments - June

June has been super busy with so many lovely things, it's hard to narrow it down to just 5. Lots of good times with friends, their birthday celebrations, going to gigs together, date day with my husband and brilliant theatre and comedy. So, I'll get straight into it...








1. Graduation - my middle child had their graduation. Having missed a graduation ceremony for school due to COVID, this was his first big celebration of study achievements for finishing 2 and a half years further study. It was very exciting and I'm glad glad he got to celebrate the end of a learning era in the end....So proud and happy for him. Exciting times ahead!


2. VIVID - no need to talk too much about it as I've made plenty of dedicated posts. I had a blast at Electric Fields at Carriage Works for VIVID and strolling around our beautiful city, both with friends or solo. I love Sydney in VIVID, as the city really comes alive.


3. We went to Daniel Kitson Collaborator, a comedy show built around theatre performance of sorts - everyone in the audience reads the script, with a few lines each. It's so funny and a really uplifting feeling being part of something, almost colluding in a shared experience. I really like Daniel Kitson, and have been seeing him whenever I can. He's always very different and never disappoints.



4. Last of the Biennale. Headed into the MCA on the closing weekend of the Biennale...I really loved the Frank Moore work which I had never seen before, but I will talk more on in a later post. I'm a bit sad we have to wait another 2 years for the Biennale's return as it was really fun to have in the city and explore each week.


5, Music and Dancing - Great night dancing the night away with friends to Hot Dub (who spent a bit more time in the 2000's onwards, which suits me....I find the old stuff hard to really dance to as it's slow). 







My Insta for June made me smile. Follow along here.

    1. I went into Tina a bit dubious but I really loved it. There's a lot more than you are expecting. It's great. I could have gone again...

  7. Well done middle child. There is something very special about milestones like that I will always celebrate when one who is close to me does that. You do a great wrap up post and life is never boring, right? Denyse
