I talk a lot about creativity in this episode, taking lessons from Paul McCartney and Keith Richards, but the ultimate lesson is that our relationships are creations too. And they can have their fallow times.

Peter and Matty’s Pillow Talking stories (or really: story) hold the record for the most downloads and private messages. I think it’s because it not only captured the spirit of the COVID times, but also captured our hearts. Revisit it – or listen to it for the first time – in the latest episode of Pillow Talking, “Twenty-one”.

In my latest BONUS EPISODE, “Love letters” I mention videos of things that happened in the old place that still make me cry laughing. This is one of them, taken on New Years Day eight years ago, when my older son discovered that a baguette left out overnight from last night’s celebrations is the most brutal foe of all. Happy New Year!

Not much recording happening at the moment, and the reason is I can’t find a path. That’s not a metaphor: I LITERALLY can’t find a path to the Cone of Silence II. The boxes. Oh, the boxes. (Oh, and ah: wired headband/turban from @sewsealdeliver is my new fave thing to wear to keep my huge curly bonce in check.)
What’s more satisfying: filling up a notebook, or starting a new one? I can never decide whether it’s bringing a good end to the papery relationship, or the promise of the new one. I like to christen the new ones with a holder for my everyday pen (TWSBI FTW) and a monogram sticker my niece got me from @ilpapiromelbourne and the old ones… well, let’s just say Marie Kondo wouldn’t approve of their fate.
“Marriage. There. I said it.”
When is a proposal💍 not a proposal? What are you supposed to do when you don’t know? 🤔 And what if it happens in bed at 2.00am? 👀 Listen to the story of the most charming non-proposal, “Of Rings and Hankies” in episode 12, A Bag of Mixed Lollies.

The message of Reconciliation Week 2021 is actions, not words. It’s about moving from “safe” to “brave”. And with this Acknowledgment of Country I’m making a promise to include one in all my episodes from now on. It’s a small but meaningful part of helping the ongoing journey of reconciliation. If you’re an Australian podcaster, please consider adding an Acknowledgment of Country to your pod; if you’re elsewhere in the world on First Nations land, you might want to think about what that means to you.
For those of you wondering what Acknowledging Country is, here’s an explanation:
The practice of Acknowledgment of Country “raises awareness of the histories and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
“Acknowledging Country shows you accept and understand that no matter where you are across this nation, you are on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands, and you acknowledge ongoing connection to Country.”
