Since March a good friend and I have been challenging each other to avoid phone doom scrolling and instead use spare time to return to books. I’ve decided to focus on some modern classics and have so far devoured Toni Morrison’s Beloved, Song of Solomon, and Sula, as well as F Scott FitzGerald’s The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night. All extraordinary books. Recommendations for others very welcome. I’m thinking Grapes of Wrath next?
So my boy continues the recent trend of meeting his musical heroes heroes. First was @OfficialOpeth in Sydney and now Adam Jones from @Tool here in Melbourne. He’s appropriately stoked!
So ahead of our Sydney trip a day ago my metal crazy boy said to me, “imagine if we ran into Opeth while we’re there”. And we did! One of my boy’s FAVOURITE metal bands since he was 9 years old. @OfficialOpeth
Her Dad’s bat and cap out for young Ben Austin, who tragically died playing cricket. Alice was moved and wanted to celebrate Ben. Our ❤️s go out to his family. So awful.
