Watched Kinds of Kindness. I watched it on the plane and was shocked and embarrassed in one scene. I madly looked around to see if people were watching. It was hilarious. Anyway, while I didn't fully understand the point at the end of the film, I really enjoyed the journey. I thought it was funny and I loved watching the actors take on different characters in each mini film. There was something sort of old school about it while also being very avant garde. I guess it reminded me of rep theatre running three productions at the same time....You could tell the actors really loved it, and I guess that shone through. It won't be for everyone, lots of sex, nudity and uncomfortable moments (though maybe I noticed that more because I was watching it on the plane and people could see me watching it).

Made a start on my Share the Dignity bags. It's my favourite part of Christmas shopping, and as I do five, it means I need to be super savvy on the shopping, so watching sales of make up, backpacks, baby items etc. It does bring me great joy.
Wore I wore my old sneakers to do the 28km Seven Bridges walk. I just panicked that while my new fancy sneakers were worn in for the regular 11km walk, they might hurt after the extra miles. So even though the old ones have worn through soles, I wore them because I knew they'd done the bridges many times before. My husband (who had prompted me to replace them) was incredulous but it was all good in the end. I will now get rid of them and stick with the new ones, so by next year, they'll be fully worn in....(not sure why 18kms a week for weeks isn't enough to wear in shoes in my head)....
The photos are from the night at Electric Fields and the 7 Bridges walk.

ReplyDeleteSometimes, not always. But I also think it's good to stretch out of your comfort zone incase you discover new genres....
DeleteLove the views of the bridge! The dignity bags is a nice act of kindness. I will check out the book Humpback Highway. Take care, Happy Friday and have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteamazing trip!
All the best, Lydia. A fine weekend, full of joy!❤️😘
Such beautiful pictures ! Your lucky to live in Sydney
ReplyDeleteThe Dignity bags are a great idea. Strange (and sad) that poverty exists in a similar way in my country. One of my co workers volunteered for a group that did toiletry bags (plus they made blankets); I used to donate toiletries from my travels t her. This was all before COVID. I enjoyed Electric Fields, a group new to me.
ReplyDeleteWe also used to make toiletry bags, we gave them to a homeless shelter
DeleteLove your photos! The opera house is still spectacular as well asvthe bridge. My friend did that walk on top of the bridge! I think that's crazy...lol. I love the bush with glasses. That is a unique song and I enjoyed listening to it.
ReplyDeleteI've yet to do the Bridge Climb...but I have had dinner atop one of the Pylons. It was magnificient!
DeleteElectric Fields is new to my ears, so thanks for the introduction. I love your photo shares in this post. Fabulous! Have a boogietastic week, Lydia!
ReplyDeleteLove these photos and I have never heard of Electric Fields. I like their music.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bridge photos!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the 7 bridges walk - I never quite got around to doing that while we lived in Sydney. I've just reserved Humpback Highway at the library - sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteHi Lydia well done on the 7 bridges walk. We have two new bridges in Brisbane and when they are both complete my friend and I are going to run them all one Saturday. Thanks so much for making up the bags for Share the Dignity I know they will be greatly appreciated. Have a lovely week - Sue L #TeamWWWhimsy
ReplyDeleteWell done on all achieved here and your dedication to the Share the Dignity bags is admirable. Go you! 5. As for the walking I have no idea of that amount of walk vs wear but you are doing well. Take care, Denyse #TeamWWWhimsy
