relenting i am all pride waiting for the fall from the rotting limb on which i have established this moral high ground… I’m wanting to do a thing for Lent – 45 minutes, one night a week, each week of Lent. A space, somewhere. Very simple, very low key. I haven’t known whether i’ve had…
I wrote this last week, and then my blog broke for a couple of days, and i thought it was lost… But no! Hooray! I’ve just spent two days in Hobart doing some planning around an event that we’re going to run next year, based on rekindling imagination. I spent hours at Mona, which was…

It starts at 3, and will be followed by afternoon tea. Please come, it will be beautiful… And then I’m taking two weeks off. See…
