Watching Anora at the Cremorne Orpheum

A wonderful movie, highly recommended, about a call girl who falls for a Russian Oligarch.

David Attenborough

I have grown up to David Attenborough's nature documentaries. I remember watching "Life on Earth" and "The Living Planet" as a child and being absolutely mesmerised. David Attenborough played a huge role in instilling in me a wonder and love for nature and wildlife.  He has been such an inspirational figure in my life.

Reasons I love and admire him so much

• His sense of the wonder and sacredness of nature and wildlife.
• The way he makes nature documentaries so captivating and deeply personal.
• A lifelong advocate for preserving the environment and protecting endangered species.
• The way he has introduced so many to the wonders of nature and the importance of conserving it.
• His love of getting out into the world, being filmed on location, getting up, close and personal to nature.
• How he embodies a relentless curiosity about life on Earth, encouraging others to explore and learn.
• His sense of humour and charm.

Some favourite quotes

• An understanding of the natural world is a source of not only great curiosity, but great fulfilment.
• It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.
• Every breath of air we take, every mouthful of food that we take, comes from the natural world. And if we damage the natural world, we damage ourselves.
• People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure.
• We must rewild the world.
• Nature is our biggest ally and greatest inspiration.

Documentaries I was mesmerised by

Watching "The Substance" in Newtown

I went to the Newtown Dendy to watch the movie "The Substance".  An absolutely incredible movie!  Afterwards, I took some snaps. I love Newtown.  It is a vibrant and eclectic suburb in Sydney, known for its bohemian atmosphere, street art, and lively cultural scene.

The Bikeriders

I recently saw "The Bikeriders" at the cinema with Elna and really liked it because it felt so authentic. The movie is based on actual people written about and photographed by Danny Lyon back in the 60s in a photobook of the same name. Seeing those real-life characters and stories on the big screen made everything feel genuine and brought the whole biker culture from that time to life.
