The importance of writing. And of writing things down. Or up. To be excavated later.

What we remember and what we forget, very telling. I like to believe I have a pretty good memory but I certainly don’t remember everything. Write it down! Loved this piece, thanks Lo.

I love all the references in here Lo. And your outfit in the photo. Jesse's book is wonderful, I'm learning a lot reading it. Thanks so much for mentioning Girl To City!

Japanese cuisine is my ultimate favourite, Lo !

I always wait til I drive south to the city, to consume the good stuff 👌 My mouth waters just thinking about it, and very much enjoy sitting over a few hours & tasting many different dishes . . whichever establishment I choose to seat at the time & whatever their menu has to offer . . I do love smoked eel, with asahi beer to start & continuing with an expensive vintage white wine 👍 Oh dear, I must get on down to have my ‘city fix’ asap !

Last night I dreamt I was riding my skateboard late at night, zipping along South Dowling & Flinders streets . . was having a ball of a time, until I woke up at 4 am. So, got up & lit the fire & a joint, with a cup of black chai . . then snuggled back under blankets, hoping to continue my night street inner city old home turf ground Surry Hills 😉 adventure.

Bagels 🥯 My housemates & I were regulars at the Flinders St Bagel House ! Smoked salmon, avocado & cream cheese . . those years during the 90’s were pretty much my Bagel consuming times & not many eaten since !

What a wonderful photo ! Of you holding shopping bag on the street, a lovely image Lo !

I so love Cowboy Boots , Cuban heeled boots . . I am constantly in boots . . blundstone workboots, gumboots, ugg boots, dancefloor RM williams type boots, old gentlemens dress boots from op shops - love finding those treasures ( most of them are sizes too big for me, but still love them & their unique styles ) ❤️

Have an excellent week Lo !

It’s a gorgeous day here & very Springyfied 🌸

My ute choice track of the week is by - Donna the buffalo - `Look both ways’

Cheerio, Lo ! ally x
