Omg Derry Girls. I so love that show. underwhelming week and it’s just the laugh I need.

If I do nothing today, like absolutely nothing, then that is ok.

When one of the teens wakes up taller than they were yesterday… and now they’re looking down to meet your gaze, and you’re starting to think, ‘am I shrinking? What is happening to me?’…

I write slowly. I like to clean up one mess before I start another. Please don’t ask me how many words I wrote over the summer!

Writing in such an engaged way that I almost forgot to go to work…

Summer’s reading: 1 huge bestseller. 3 Aussie writers. A booker shortlist. The Hungerford & Fogarty Awards. A Prince. 2 wars. Several crimes. Ghosts. Literary fiction. Ageing. Families. Corruption and the church. I think I read widely this summer. What are you reading?

I’m pretty excited too! Can’t wait!

Sewing ribbons and elastics on pointe shoes makes me want to cry 🩰 🪡 😭

I loved being part of this panel. So much to think about re making healthcare more nurturing for patients AND for new doctors and other professionals. Such important ideas. I really appreciated participating. And thank you Emma Young for your thoughtful questions!

If we're talking about how women have less Super, we should be talking about how Super earnt by a highly paid working partner while a women is caring for kids is often lost to that working partner if the relationship breaks up. It should be prima facie split between accounts.

If only all the Peter Duttons and Natalie Barrs of this country learned to listen more than speak. #VoteYes2023
