Loving Life
I love a good documentary, and All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is great not only a doco but also a doco on Nan Goldin. It shows many of her icon images and goes over her fight for the Shakler Family and their role in the US Opioid Crisis. Unknown to me Nan had an […]
Continue ReadingI have been exhausted, I suppose it is that time of the year we are more than two-thirds through the year and on the downward slope to Christmas. I think the early starts get to me, I try and start early to get cardboard ready and then the days can be more than the 3 […]
Continue ReadingSo it has been my birthday weekend, 3 days away from G Town. Anna and I left Griffith at 7:30 am on Saturday which would have been some sort of record for us, leaving at a reasonable time. Our first stop was Temora where I got a double shot of coffee and a piece of […]
