Went to vote yesterday & one young bloke asked whether I knew to put numbers in the boxes & not ticks? Seriously, do I look like it’s the 1st time I’m voting? I used a moisturiser this morning but it doesn’t work miracles…#ageism

I’ve never been mad about Sydney’s Lord Mayor but this fine Jane Cadzow’ piece gives Clover Moore an interesting dimension. Maybe Meryl Streep could reprise a certain role in the movie…? www.smh.com.au/national/que...

During this break, I decided to start on the unread books on my shelves. First, People Of The Book by Geraldine Brooks, which was magical. Now Salman Rushdie The Golden House. Pure indulgence. Why unread? I have fomo when it comes to acquiring books.

Ok, I’m calling it - Lune plain croissants are lovely. They’re crisp but really not better than my local French baker in Bondi. Maybe the ones with the works are world standard? Anyway no more queuing for me.

During the pandemic, jumbo packets of toilet paper were status symbols, denoting your good fortune, today in Sydney it’s a paper bag of Lune croissants. We’re a bunch of Lunatics

For decades, power protected Alan Jones. Now he’s facing his own reckoning

Recently a bike lane was built in an artery behind Randwick. Problem: some cyclists refuse to use the 2-lane marvel with protective bollards & it’s impossible to pass them now. Some ride four across, so they can chat & ignore the traffic now banked up. It’s always men. Why is this so?

Addicted to the #Dayofthejackal - thought I could binge over a few nights. Each episode was popping up on my screen like toast - until I was toast with nearly a 2 week’ wait for the final eps. Really?
