I want it to go on
this deep blue tide that trembles
at the edge of the sky.”

– from ‘broken’ by Max Ryan

I’ve had better months. It felt as though a plague took our house. Each of us got sick one at a time (poor W got two goes), which meant that at least someone was sick for two weeks straight. I’m not sure what was more of a pain – trying to care for two rambunctious kids while feeling like shit myself, or looking after a small sick little darling who wanted to, literally, cuddle all day long. In amongst it all though were some lovely moments. A weekend away on the blue beaches of Byron Bay with my parents and their partners, my brother and sister-in-law and gorgeous little niece. And being a part of the vigil for Baby Asha in support of the doctors and nurses at Lady Cilento Hospital was heartbreaking, of course, but also heartwarming.

I’m looking forward to March – onwards, my friends! In the meantime, some favourites for you all…

Enjoy!

• “It is the truest, highest purpose of language to make things clear and help us see; when words are used to do the opposite you know you’re in trouble and that maybe there’s a coverup.” Why is Rebecca Solnit always so. damn. good.
• And just once more, for good measure, #LetThemStay
