Mum is home from her three month jaunt around Europe which included lots of cowbells – big and small – Paris, which seemed cheap after Switzerland, –  ‘ it bankrupted us’ – and a Latin class with a Benedictine monk.  

I, on the other hand, unexpectedly quit my job, moved back home and have spent the last couple of months looking after the (three!) cats while trying to figure out a business idea that’ll make me millions as I travel, and am trying my hardest not to think too hard about the fact that I’m right back to where I was at the start of 2020. 

 This episode, we chat about Robert de Niro having a baby at 80+, the never ending effort to tidy the house, how we have to get onto all the stuff in the garage, draped meats and how we loved the Beckham’s doco and are excited to watch the Robbie Williams doco. 

We read about Mum putting olive oil in her hair, sleeping in a lot, painting, and typing her diary entries out on the typewriter because its more ‘professional’. Mum also goes to see Mad Max II which has the most hilarious character – the ‘dumb mechanic’ – and then sees it again at the drive in. We read ‘The Continuing Saga of the John and Betty Clan’ which is Mum’s observations of their neighbours, Mum goes to see INXS live at the Armadale, is deep into her Rolling Stones obsession, questions what she wants to do next year if not Uni, and once again manages to eat an astounding amount of liquorices – 10!

 

As always, press play for part therapy, part entertainment, oversharing guaranteed...
