a mid-week chortle

rich hall at the capitol theatre, front row middle seats. the risk was worth it.

prepared for a deluge

i LOVE umbrellas. and i love wellingtons. and i also love raincoats. i managed to snaffle two new polka dot umbrellas for the coming rain (both clear, one with red dots, the other black). and am planning on making a couple of raincoats. there are not enough cool raincoats around. there soon will be.

festival stuff

i met up with a few friends to be entertained by hannah gadsby at the ngv. she provided a slide show of her favourite pieces of art from the national gallery of victoria collection. i was both amused and intrigued. will have to get back to the gallery in the near future to look more closely.

then a few of us moved onto an early dinner at mrs parma. yes, parmigianas all round. i ended up with the p'armaggedon - i was expecting something a bit hotter than was served up but it was still tasty. then onto drinks at the carlton hotel.


next was reginald d. hunter at the forum. i did enjoy him and one of the "philosophies" i took from the night was there are three great releases in life, one is urinating, two is an orgasm (or multiple) and three is laughing til there are tears in your eyes. ah, good times with good friends and good laughs. life is indeed fine.

because it's my birthday

and i have wonderful friends and family.

and so it starts...

it's never too late to be what you might have been
