Pinching myself. My piece placed 3rd in the Strange Days Award, judged by... Helen Garner 😍 "I was struck by its light touch, the vividness of its physical world, its sense of breathless waiting & then of release & gratitude." Gulp. Thx @mvlibraries https://t.co/xulPCPD4OT

@Kate_McClymont Knowing Brindha from her treatment of my b-i-l @ProfRAScolyer you're in very good hands. So sorry to hear this news.

'I feel lucky that I just knew intuitively that this (writing) was what felt right for me...this is the way I fit into the world. I'm curious, I'm eager, that impulse is who I am.' @susanorlean @wheelercentre #writing #memoir

Bondi swell meant no swim for me, but instead a walk taking in the wonder. Icebergs pool closed. 🌊

@AmandaPCraig @gabyhinsliff Today I've arranged putting mum into respite care. This hits: '...even the most peaceful kind (of death) looked to me like a form of work. The best way I can describe it is like a reverse childbirth: you can comfort the person going through it, but you cannot be in it with them.'

'...words that stand for equality are demonized by those who benefit from inequality. Opposition will always come from people whose power rests on the group they were born into...rather than on what they do as individuals.' Gloria Steinem's final essay. https://t.co/aeR5qumGb9

'...Chinese encyclopedia of medicine...linked tinnitus...to the life force Qi...“If Qi is insufficient above, the brain is not sufficiently filled by it, the ears suffer a ringing noise, the head is bent low by it, the eyes [experience] dizziness.”' Me!😒 https://t.co/zFqxaxVwae

'Forensic counsellor. I like that. She allows me to examine the substance of my grief. Not just the macro experience of loss but all the tiny micro details I need to pore over.' Beautiful piece by Hannah Richell on her husband's death. Waves & tides #grief https://t.co/0weBNko8FA

@jess_marnich I'm hopeful tho' we are in the midst of multiple griefs, so pretty destabilised tbh. And it sure feels hard to find words. I guess that's why this piece resonated, with her being 10 years on from the death, it offers some sense of a reality, where nothing makes sense initially.

Never forget James Newbury’s innovative approach to homelessness: close accommodation housing homeless people and sell the site.

St Kilda scene. Snapped on the way to gym for a very rare evening session. The light in the sky felt like a gift for leaving the house! ✨

@fbongiornoanu That should be interesting. I just booked for your Ballarat lecture, on democracy and multiculturalism! Look forward to saying hello, Frank.

[anna sublet @subbie]

Looking forward to attending this lecture on #democracy & multiculturalism by @fbongiornoanu in #Ballarat home of #Eureka – 'the inaugural Raffaello Carboni Lecture...on the topic, ‘Why multiculturalism is good for democracy.’ https://t.co/mJVTxP2b3Q

Lonnie 22.5km session just for fun! Still can't ocean swim but a good morning for a run. Feeling ok for City2Surf (14km) in two weeks 😳 though lacking hill training. Oh well, I can go the distance at least. 💪💥#ptlonsdale #queenscliff #bellarine #running

So good to be back at #writing #studio at Linden Gallery after long breaks over recent years due to family illness. I almost gave my desk up, but so glad I held onto it. Devastated that Rich @ProfRAScolyer has gone. The world is poorer. Now–hope to write with clarity again. 💔💖

[anna sublet @subbie]

First day back at my #writing #studio and walked home with this sunset! Thanks #StKilda #sunset #Melbourne ('I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour...' 🎶 ok, not really, but it's good to be back in town!)
