Molly's jacket (Vol.3, 1982)

I find out… whose jacket Mum burnt a hole in! 

We chat about Mum’s birthday weekend we just had up at the Yarra Valley, the horse ride we went on up there and Chateau Yering which was just full of character! 

We also chat about the benefits of the cold shower in the morning (I’m a convert) and how my self-care routine has become a literal full time job. 

We read about Mum listening to a punk segment on 3PBS, reading Clockwork Orange (can you guess a theme here) and pinning punk ‘beady-pins’ onto her t-shirt. We also read about Mum deciding to defer Uni next year, but still needing to pass all her subjects. She watches Taming of the Shrew – ‘so romantic’ – and begins her journey into avant-garde performance art by seeing VOID and KITSCH which were ‘fabulous!!!’ We talk about the bullshit that can go in the art world and what we think ‘good’ art is – yes we know it’s subjective. 

We read about Princess Grace dying in a car crash, Mum visiting a cool and trendy apartment in Fitzroy, ‘hitting Inflation’ where she ‘accidentally’ burns a hole in Molly Meldrum’s jacket with her cigarette, as well as the long awaited Beach Ball where both Strange Tenants and INXS play. 

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