2024 Christmas and NYE

We had two lovely family Christmases with lots of eating and drinking with family. An attempt at no presents was unsuccessfully made, maybe next year!

We fit in a run along the new bridge which we also visited at night after trying out the new Somewhere in the Park (it's good, but we miss DTC!), and also a puzzle.

NYE at Besk was really fun because of the good food and drinks, but mostly because we had about 10% of the venue to our big group of friends. Was definitely an upgrade from the good ol' Leederville Block Party, might make this one a new tradition!

So happy I took the two first working days of 2025 off, I don't know where the Christmas holidays disappear to!

Triple J Hottest 100 of 2024

For the past couple of years I've been saying this might be the last year I vote, and it almost was. I'm not proud of this list, but... goooo Rufus I guess! 

 My votes: 
  • RÜFÜS DU SOL - Music is Better (#58)
  • RÜFÜS DU SOL - Breathe 
  • RÜFÜS DU SOL - In the Moment 
  • RÜFÜS DU SOL - Break My Love (#80)
  • RÜFÜS DU SOL - Pressure 
  • Fontaines D.C. - Starburster (#48)
  • Childish Gambino - Lithonia (#48)
  • Glass Animals - Creatures In Heaven (#73)
  • Empire Of The Sun - Music On The Radio 
  • FKA Twigs - Perfect Stranger 

Wished I could have voted for: 
  • The rest of the Rufus album let's be honest, especially Fire / Desire which wasn't on the list. 
Edit: Second year in a row where I didn't know the winner, but, there was enough in there to still make it interesting! I can't believe I forgot Amyl.
