📚 FAIRYLAND: A Memoir of my Father - Alysia Abbott An honest autobiography that at time makes it difficult to sympathise with the author. Maybe that coloured my review. But still, very much worth a read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ½ #BookSky

Ok. Use this one. It doesn’t have the Kylie monologue about her growing up in Melbourne which is a damn shame.

As a lapsed Collingwood supporter I can take or leave footy But the AFL Grand Final was on today. The weather, a bit ordinary. Few cities do big sporting events like Melbourne The city was awash with people from Fremantle and Brisbane It was an extraordinary game Oh…And then there was Kylie

Ok. I need a new yoga instructor. I dragged the old carcass to the gym. And that only happened after I had some stern words with myself. Photo: looking happy now that I'm back from the gym.
Me. With my smiley face. ☺️ Me. On the couch. I'm not moving.

📚 DISCIPLES OF WHITE JESUS- Angela Denker. Enjoyed it. Not as much as “Jesus and John Wayne”. Maybe because it covered similar territory. The question? Christianity has a problem radicalising white boys and men? The solution? More God! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 #BookSky

Haha. Apparently you can save posts. I’ve was playing around with the app. Clicked on “Menu” and saw “Saved”. I wonder what that is, I thought. And then saw about half a dozen saved posts. Oops. Didn’t mean to. I blame fat fingers. Unsaved them all.

📚 THE TWO ROBERTS - Damian Barr I knew nothing about the real The Two Roberts before I read this, so I went into this with little expectations. Appreciate that it is a novel, based on real people, once I started it, I couldn’t put it down. And by the end, I had to compose myself. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BookSky
