Weekly Wrap 718: Four years since the plague, the wine of nostalgia, and rearranged podcasts

On a white linen tablecloth sits a stemless glass of red wine bearing the crest of the Parliament of Victoria. In the background, out if focus, you can make out the form of a woman in a green top. On either side of the wine glass is a small tripod bearing an audio recorder.

Weekly Wrap 594: I had a haircut and it was wonderful and I also had some wine

My week of Monday 11 to Sunday 17 October 2021 reminded me just how much human interaction I was missing during Greater Sydney’s lockdown. That ended on Monday, and I enjoyed the simple pleasure of sitting in a room where there were strangers and their sounds, and wine.
