Little Loves - March

READ That the fabulous Rone has installed one of his magnificent TIME rooms into The Outsiders, that brilliant Street Art gallery. You have until May to see it. Don't miss it. It's free. I will be down in Melbourne for Ultra so I am very excited.

I also read in a meme yesterday, so need to find more detailed and fact checked information on it that Segregated facilities are no longer prohibited, as Trump has axed a clause in federal contracting agreements from the 1960s that protected against separate bathrooms, drinking fountains, housing etc. An American friend of mine joked he had better stay out of the sun. It's not feeling very funny at the moment. [Edit. Another American friend said the Civil Rights Act of 1964 still over rules it and segregation is still illegal. However, I feel this is the thin edge of the wedge so to speak. Will investigate further.]

WATCHED Mickey 17. I liked it. I'm surprised it's not getting universal love but I thought it was funny and entertaining. Hadestown was a pleasant surprise as I had no idea what it was about and was thrilled it was Greek Mythology. Lots of fun. Song of First Desire gave me a lot to think about. A very meaty play on the long term impact on the people of the rise of a fascist dictatorship, though you could also relate the same to colonialism.

HEARD The fun of the 5.6.7.8's and the alarming rise of the Tech Bros by Kara Swisher, as well as Ben Elton talking less humorously on AI. (and that it's end goal, according to what Musk said to Rishi Sunak was to erase the need for people. Honestly, how did we get to here so fast?) [Edit - there is a meme going around that says that the purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth and I can't stop thinking about it.]

   

WORE I dug out this dress, which I've not worn for about 20 years (not for any reason, just haven't). It still fit but my bigger butt made it rise up at the back if I raised my arms over my head, so I wore bike pants underneath as there was good chance that would happen at the gig. It was the perfect outfit for the 5678's, out from Japan. They were fun but the Crowbar was packed. As my husband was meeting me there later, I had to stay up the back.

I also dug this old favourite out. It's a little tighter but still fits perfectly. I used to wear it all the time. It's probably 15 years old. No idea why I stopped wearing it.

LASTLY My three favourite moments in March were again very hard to choose. It's been a great month with lots of fun with friends, seeing bands, shows and art as well as plenty of scenic walks and beach time. What more could you want? 

My top 3? A lovely Anniversary dinner at the fabulous Ora. Playing Squid Games with the kids for a belated birthday and at random, dancing with the crowd at Elderbrook - I love the way people with the same energy level gravitate to each other and you all move in unison with the music. There's something so uplifting and energising about it. 

My wish to you, may we always have such a great month it's hard to pick our favourite moments!
