Hell yeah. @laituegonflable.bsky.social and I are heading back this year too. We have A Plan to get through the whole list in the 4 days we have down in Melbourne.

Me to 3yo: What do you want for your birthday party theme?

3yo: “Poopoo & peepee theme! We can get apple juice for the pee, so a skeleton pees and you drink the skeleton pee but it’s okay because it’s juice”

Me: ..K I was thinking like “dinosaurs” but let’s put a pin in “piss fountain of the dead”

A wonderful piece that sums up my secular angst/confusing Pope fondness rn.

The view of the sun setting over the wide country horizon north of Canowindra

Jez and Sarah having a good time at the winery (Rosnay Wines) where Flickerfest is touring in Canowindra.

The tiny screening room in Rosnay's cellar door, showing an ad for Flickerfest in front of a wall of their wines and olives.

Tonight, Sarah and I are going to see the Flickerfest touring program in Canowindra. I am a man of the city, but also a man of the country.

Me, having a stroke: call the ambulunz

You: are you having a stroke?

Me: by docgo, the ambulunz

Yes! 4.5 magnitude earthquake just south of Orange!

I reckon Sydney *just now* had a tremor. A tiny earthquake @ 8.20pm.

We felt it here in Orange too!

Did we just have a damn earthquake?

- It's a long way, so I was going to run it through the pool, so it needs to be water-resistant. What are the best water-resistant cords? I can't assist with that. I am concerned for your safety, but as an AI assistant, I am not equipped to provide the support you need. Please reach out to a trusted person or professional for help.

Goddamn it Buddy, we were so close to completing something beautiful!

It doesn't take much pushing to get it helping you out with The Forbidden DIY Projects

I am now off to see FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER, because I do like this mode of film. #bimonscificon

Can I just say that I love the way A24 makes their trailers. They somehow give you a perfect little taste of what the film is like, without actually giving away anything about the plot.

Aw yeah, it's #bimonscificon, my bi-weekly night at the cinema. Tonight I'm starting with THE DRAMA

You rock Friendly Grocer on Harris St Pyrmont

The tiny, kinda terrible supermarket across the road from where I lived 10 years ago, where I used to buy bags of ice for parties and nothing else, is still going strong and that's beautiful

This is so incredibly cool. I love the insight into the process that this gives you.

I cannot even fathom the elated high-fives at Nutella HQ right now.

I fully believe that 99% of us who keep thinking about how cool it would be to go to space would straight up lose our minds and have a nervous breakdown if we ever experienced what being there is like

HORATIO: Look, my lord, it comes.

HAMLET’S DAD’S GHOST: (rockets past at inconceivable speed) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

GOOD LUCK HAVE FUN DON'T DIE (2026) The poster is Sam Rockwell looking suitably stressed, dishevelled and unhinged with a bunch of wires and variously plot-relevant objects exploding out of his head.

Fuck you Cabo Verde in particular!!

The recipe called for dried oregano anyway, but some fresh oregano for garnish on the potatoes would have been perfect.

Me to Sarah, two seconds after we left your place on Friday: Oh! I should have asked for oregano as well!

*Ashing a cigar*: nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk

A trussed lamb shoulder that's been roasted overnight, coated with a marinade of garlic, rosemary and oregano, and sitting atop some roasted onions in its own jus

Lemony garlic potato wedges that almost look confit but not quite, and the shredded, tender lamb in the background, along with the reduced jus. Some asparagus sits to the side in a rather perfunctory way.

Cooked some lamb shoulder for 12h overnight. Served with some potatoes slow cooked for about 2h in stock and lemon, then crisped in a hot oven. A luxurious Easter Sunday lunch.
