Australian, into music—Eurovision and retro stuff—and I try not to get too obsessed with politics. I sing in serious choirs and teach and play some instruments. And I quilt.

We watched Idiocracy (2006) last night. If ever there was a movie that predicted the future accurately, this one’s it. It’s jaw dropping how much they got right.

Really annoyed that ABC treats Chopin’s nocturnes as all one entry in the #classic100. Come on ABC do better.

Just saw Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis in Concert movie. We had the whole theatre to ourselves so danced and cheered and carried on like I was actually at Vegas in Elvis’s audience. Awesome experience.

We’re hosting Xmas this year, only the second time ever, and this time husband has put everything into a spreadsheet. I’m delighted to say the least.

The monsters. Imagine aiming and shooting at children. Hearing that a 10yo has died at Bondi has me absolutely shattered. #bondi #bondishooting

I was in Bondi tonight, singing beautiful renaissance music in a small choir locked down in a church about three blocks away from the shootings. Knew something was up but no idea how horrific. The relentless sound of sirens passing by tonight will haunt me forever.

Craig Silvey doing a Jimmy Barnes on #top100books - two in a row so he just stays on the line 😂

I’m loving Radio National’s #top100books weekend so much. Even more than Triple J’s hottest 100 Australian songs weekend. Every book that makes it to the list is either a joy I’ve read or one I’m desperate to read.

I think JKR has crossed over in my mind as someone whose books to avoid. I was ok about disagreeing with her but now she’s turned hateful. Shame because I was enjoying the Strike series.

My dementia MIL is having her ACAT assessment right now, exactly 12 months since we applied for it. How can this amount of wait time be sustainable?

My highlight of today’s #hottest100 was Evie by Stevie Wright part 1 AND part 2 AND part 3. So emotional.

How many of Kylie’s songs are actually Australian though? Her recording career and songwriters are all from overseas. I mean, what’s the criteria for this list? #hottest100

Getting goosebumps hearing Evie by Stevie Wright on Triple J #hottest100. Husband and I both voted for this one.

Had an early morning doc appointment today. He told me he’s going to propose to his gf this weekend, then told me I’m the first person he’s told. I’m super delighted on both counts. I guess he needed to tell the first person he saw today, and that was me. It totally made my day.

Meanwhile Australia’s @abcnewsbot.bsky.social reported it as “tens of thousands”. Hope they corrected this.

On #4corners one of the Libs said “most of Australians believe in climate change”, making it sound like it was the Easter Bunny and they’re being forced to go along with it. #auspol #climatechange

The #Coalition divorce can best be described as follows: Both the #LiberalParty and the #NationalParty each think of themselves as George Michael leaving Wham!, whilst the other is Andrew Ridgley. In reality, this the two blokes in Milli Vanilli opting for solo careers. #auspol

Last year husband and I decided to boycott voting for Eurovision until they clean up Israel’s vote farming. Looks like we’re not voting again next year either.

There goes the only song I was excited for in #Eurovision. Totally disinterested in this year’s now.

Just not excited for this year’s #Eurovision. There’s not a single song I like except for my own country’s 🇦🇺. Husband feels the same. We’re thinking about skipping the live 5am broadcasts and just watching the evening replays, maybe even just the final this year.
