Happy first Father’s Day to this absolute rockst

Happy first Father’s Day to this absolute rockstar of a dad @vinniestander. Watching you parent is a privilege and a pleasure — I thank my lucky stars I get to do it alongside you every day. We love you xx And thanks for having us @alma_avalon, we had a great afternoon.

Wish I could bottle up these long lazy days we’ve been having. It’s amazing how adaptable kids are. Throughout lockdown our little guy got so used to sleeping in his cot that I didn’t think he’d actually sleep anywhere else. But sure enough, every day he’s down at the beach with us, having his lunch in the sand and then a long sleep under the umbrella, with the real life white noise of the ocean playing in the background 🌊☀️ @vinniestanderr

Sometimes space is your greatest medicine. It allows you to hear your heart, to do your art and for things to come your way that you often don’t see when you’re too busy 🧡

Yesterday we took a drive up to West Head for a short hike. The whole time I kept thinking about how lucky Sydneysiders are to have such easy access to tracks like this, many of which most of us probably don’t even know about. This one was a short loop via Resolute and West Head beaches and it was stunning. It was pretty cold yesterday so we didn’t swim, but if the weather was warmer you could jump in midway. I wouldn’t say it’s a secluded spot, but the nature is exquisite and the circuit is only about a 1.5 hour walk so (while steep!) it’s very doable with kids too. It was a perfectly spent first Mother’s Day :)

I was so torn this week to learn that @carriageworks had gone into voluntary administration. I’m hopeful they’ll find a way to save this special centre which is such an important place for the arts, culture, community and creativity. I’ve enjoyed so many weekends there, from days spent at the farmers market (pictured, with a bunch of wattle the same size as me🌼) to the Sydney Writer’s Festival. Even before Covid Sydney could have done with a greater injection of culture. So it’s devastating to think that of the few fantastic arts institutions we do have, some won’t make it through this pandemic. If you like the arts, and you’re able to, please please please support your favourite cultural organisations now so we can come out the other end of all of this and still be able to feel the pulse of the arts in our city. Some of them are offering online streams so you could support by buying tickets, or you could consider making a donation to help keep them up and running. If you’d like some ideas, here are a few of my favourites: @sydwritersfest, @mca_australia, @belvoirst, @griffintheatre, The Old Fitz via @redline__productions, @sydneytheatreco 🙏🏻

Like most of the world, we woke up yesterday with no plans. After two weeks spent mostly at home we felt like some exercise so decided to go for a walk through the bush. We found a small secluded beach on a lagoon, I picked some flowers, @vinniestander gave Sebby a swim and we cooked up some pasta on our portable stove. The boys had an afternoon sleep and I lay there thinking about how, more then ever, these basic moments were easily the most special to me. I’m scared of this virus and what lies ahead, but I’m hopeful we’ll come out the other end with some silver linings. Maybe one of them is this: if we’re all forced to stay inside and get used to life at a slower pace, maybe when this is over we’ll start to live without such a constant flurry of plans. And if we all made fewer plans, we’ll have the space to wake up on the weekend and be free to do what we actually feel like doing in the moment — to be spontaneous and to spend more time doing the simple things which usually make us the happiest anyway.

The week before I had Sebby I’d been in touch with @allylwalsh (one half of coffee house @canyoncoffee) to ask her if she’d do an interview with me. It’s taken me forever to get it live (because well, hello life with a four month old!) but it finally is and I’ve linked it above. If you’d like to have a read, Ally talks about starting a business with her boyfriend in their Santa Monica apartment in 2016 (as their relationship grew, so did their love for coffee) and other things from the ritual of coffee to taking risks as a startup.
