We headed to the city this lovely afternoon to see @bellshakespeare’s production of King Lear. It was unadorned but beautiful. (I’ll always feel at home in a black box theatre. ❤️) Afterwards we walked around to Circular Quay for the Bastille Festival and battled the crowds for saucisson and cheese… 🇫🇷 🧀
Week 18: Cabinetry! All the wardrobes and drawers and shelves have arrived, and a team is onsite for installation. The roll-up screen door is also going in today. Skirting boards are in too. I also got a photo of the little curved ceiling bulkhead detail that will mirror the floating shelf below the TV. And check out the huge tile our builder scored for the front entry! #renovation 🏠
Went to the Broadway Shopping Center today and discovered @masterofmixes_au was giving away piña colada mix! 🥥🍍❤️

This morning we headed down to the @sydneyoperahouse to see @shakeandstir’s production of “James and the Giant Peach.” I really liked their take on it! They modernised a few things (Aunt Sponge wearing Crocs is inspired costume design) and excised a couple characters (vale Ladybug and Silkworm!), but they kept the weirder bits of Dahl’s story without sanding it down too much. I also thought the use of the rotating stage with animated projections and multiple trap doors was genius, and it’s probably the only way you could bring a story like this to life. We also visited the fat sea lion sunbathing on the steps outside, and we had lunch at @a.p.bread in the city. Lovely day. ❤️🍑

The Breeders in Big Sur
A lovely little video of the Breeders performing some of my favorite songs – mostly acoustically – among the redwoods in Big Sur.
Had coffee with my friend Kim, picked up my new library card (and books!), grabbed some chocolate babka for the Snook, collected my brand new Mac, and got in 6000+ steps all before 2pm… (if you want to know how retirement is going!). 😜❤️📚

Still can’t believe I sold them craft supplies 14 years ago without realising who they were. 😂
Looking for a fun, cheap Switch game? This “pinball platformer” is on sale and it’s GREAT. I played it most of the day today. 😜
At the Enmore for the first time in years to see Colin Hay… 🎸❤️
