I think I said this last month, but I love putting this list together as it makes me realise how much fun I've had, even when in the moment I feel like I've been doing nothing. Scrolling back on my Insta always makes me smile!
I've had a great month!
1. I caught up with not 1 but 2 local 100 year olds. One was just a catch up over tea and one was a birthday party. At the party, an 80 year old who had lived in our street since the early 1960's was telling me all the historic buildings that housed important 'firsts' in the State. It was really stepping back into living history and a fun afternoon. It went from grandeur, to slum and now just Sydney expensive!
Epilespy warning - don't watch if sensitive to flashing light
2. Volume Festival - I was at the Art Gallery of NSW for Genesis Owusu, Andre 3000, the Flume exhibition (and the Archibald). It made for such a great month to be out and about immersed in art. Fantastic addition to the annual calendar!
3. School Holiday fun and the annual trek to the Hunter Valley for the Snow Time festival. I assumed it was the last time, but apparently not...I'll take her for as long as she wants to go. I also have my favourite activity, getting up early to shoot roos...with my camera, of course! We stopped at the Reptile park on the way home and that was truly a delight. Finally saw the baby koalas!
4. Had a lot of fun catching up with friends for birthday parties, laser shooting on a tall ship, life drawing with Opera, fabulous meals at 20 Chapel and Six Penny (we'd been given a voucher thankfully as we racked up quite a bill!) and gigs.
5. A few dates with my husband - Ali Wong, Chelsea Handler and Teddy Swims. It's nice to share laughs and concerts together. We often have different preferences on arts so do them with others seperately, which is also nice. However, I love it when we both like something and can do it together.
So that's been my month. How about you? What's your favs?
I've only seen pictures of koalas on trees; they look different on the ground. It's nice to go through your insta to see what you've done. I periodically do that on my own photo/video folders. Digital album is so much easier than an old heavy photo album. It takes you back and makes you appreciate your life a little more :-) Have a great weekend!
I can see you've had a great month Lydia. I love all your photos but especially your Roo photo. I watched the Teddy Swims video. He's been all over my FB feed, and I had never heard of him. I'm very much out of the loop these days.

Baby koalas are gorgeous creatures, but I assume they are not seen very often so their mothers can carefully protect them,.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog
