What a great month I had! Quite unexpectedly to be honest.
READ I am currently reading the The Friday Afternoon Club. I will do a whole post on this once I've finished but I'm really enjoying it. Griffen Dunne has an openness and honesty in his narrative that makes it so much more than name dropping stories. There are a few very arresting moments, and I am prepared for what is to come, having adored his father's work and read all Dominick Dunne's books, starting as a teen when I worked in a bookshop and stumbled across The Two Mrs Grenvilles. I went to his author talk, purely out of nostalgia for his father, but I can see he is a very talented writer in his own right.
WATCHED Been to a few plays and comedians this month, plus a number of author talks. Saw Jacob Banks and the amazing Gregory Porter.
At the movies, One Battle after another and the Springsteen movie today. It feels like it's been a quiet month, but not really. Just the lull before the (Sand)storm...bahahaha. If you don't have an earworm now you won't get that joke....
HEARD Bunt. A lot of Bunt. I saw him last year at Field Day and my Spotify is teasing me that he is coming back as I just keep getting song after song by him in my Daily Drive. So I'm hoping Spotify knows something I don't as I'm dead keen to see him again! Good vibes!
Also I like these covers - the Ska version of the Frank Turner song and the Frank Turner version of the Grace Petrie song.
But I do like her original better. Of course. (Aussies, she'll be here for the National Folk Festival in April. Hopefully with side gigs as I'll be at Bluesfest....though husband is aware I have to travel if I miss her...ha!)
WORE My Luigi bag has been getting a workout. It makes me so happy, especially when the fans ask me if it's from Mario, as they a perplexed by someone my age using it as a serious handbag (they should see me with my Moomin or Hello Kitty bag!)
I got these weird things for my sore toe after big walks or big nights dancing. It does help ease the pain. Cheap and off ebay or amazon or something. Worth a shot.
AND LASTLY My top 3? Too hard to narrow down. Got a family get together for a birthday before the month is out, so even though that's yet to happen, I'll put it down as number 1. Ditto Halloween, just the decorations and the bubbly kids coming to the door sooooo sensational dinner at Mister Grotto with friends - it was AMAZING food! The flavours so interesting. I'm not even a big fish eater and I ate it all! Brilliant restaurant. If you are in Sydney, def go! It is only fish and seafood though, no other options.
