Trying to have a quiet beer and then the judgement arrives. 🍺🐱

A beer in a stubbie cooler on a table with a plant behind it. The cooler has “To baldly go where no man has gone before” and the head of a bald Vulcan. A head of cat is on the right of the beer looking at the camera.A beer in a stubbie cooler on a table with a plant behind it.

🏙️ Checking out the new sky deck mid-week was a good idea, not many people.

🚌 Taking advantage of the 50c cap on fares to go on a little adventure across the city. Bemused at the person who thinks their conversation is so important they need to share it with everyone on the bus for the last 20 minutes.

Afternoon thunderstorm means I was almost caught in the rain. Unfortunately I had to seek shelter and wait it out.

A bar counter with a cocktail with a red cherry in it. A tan covered menu behind it with the name of the bar - Zazu. In the background are beer taps on the other side of the bar.

As chair of the body corporate, I think it’s important to properly prepare for a committee meeting later today.

A straw hat, black A6 notebook with red pen on top, and a schooner of beer on a table. In the background is a large window with a bar visible inside.

One of the many upsides to being on holidays is I can go earlier on my afternoon walk and be home by 4:30pm. This allows a beer at 5pm. I’m all about a balanced lifestyle.

🍿 MIFF number 12 was Crossing (2024) ★★½

A rectangular image with a review of the movie Crossing (2024). The movie poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Okay selected. The review reads: A fairly straightforward plot with a Georgian woman searching for her trans niece in Istanbul. As the film progresses Istanbul is shown as a city where you can disappear but also a city where you can be accepted for who you are, no matter your story. The film isn’t here to show Istanbul as a tourist destination, it moves through the back streets and narrow lanes as the search progresses. Three stories interwoven, the aunt, her unexpected companion, and the trans lawyer; each compassionate in their own way, each searching for something. Although a vibrant look at life and a very compassionate portrayal of the reality of life for the Istanbul trans community this just didn’t quite gel with me.
