Hello beautiful people,

Well here I am, as promised, staying fully present and accountable – woo hoo!

FYI (for your information) those of you in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, or close enough to get to, this weekend marks the official opening of the 25^th Midsumma Festival, a festival celebrating queer culture, arts, entertainment and community.

I’m shocked to discover (having just had a look at the program myself – hmm and thinking for the first time ever – surely not – alas yes!) how fabulous this festival is. How have I not absorbed myself in its beauty prior to this day? In its 25 years running I’m almost embarrassed to say Andrew and I have been to one event – Pride March 2011!

Well not this year!

My challenge will be fitting it all in.

Time to manifest a home away from home me thinks! Having a 3 hour return trip and being a person who plunges into the darkness with an abysmal mood, energy and care factor of zero at times being closer would oh so make a difference. Even when I’m feeling spritely it would still make a difference.

If it is meant to be it is up to me!

That’s not to say if you or someone you know feels like gifting us a house, an apartment or broom closet in the heart of Melbourne, we wouldn’t take it. We surely would. Okay so the broom closet was going a tad too far!

Check it out for yourself and tell me I’m delirious to believe this is anything other than fab! http://www.midsumma.org.au/

One event we’ll definitely be attending this year is Pride March on the 3 Feb commencing at 2pm and walking with the Bisexual Alliance crew.

Will I be seeing you there?

Until next time!

Big love & huge hugs,

Lyndal
