Caught Perfect Days with a friend, I went in wanting to diss it tbh but came out generally enjoying it, it didn't romanticise menial worker life in Japan as much as I expected it to and I enjoy that it didn't infantilise the viewers. Good one to watch on the big screen and soak up the Vibes.

Procrastinating big time on some study items that I have to put my big girl pants on and do because nobody else will and it's self structured so up to me to figure out... So of course I end up mopping the floors which I've been putting off for months. It's good though, because the house has now got a real clean energy.

Dinner, and then I'm going to just sit in front of my laptop and force myself to read some journal articles to get the ball rolling at least.

It's cool outside but it's sunny so this is manageable for me.

The sun is so beautiful today I will be outside doing some more repotting.🌞

Went to Fairfield boathouse this weekend. Haven’t been before. Very Old Timey style. Had decent scones and a some very nice walking tracks next to the Yarra. Would be amazing if they gave it a renno like Studley park, but keeping the heritage. I think the location is actually nicer than Studley park, due to the walks and views. Would go again.

It's a lovely place to chill on a sunny summer morning. Next to it is a mini greek amphitheatre - stand on the bronze disk and speak normally and your voice is magnified by the surrounding walls. There was often performances there in summer pre-covid - and I expect these will start up again fairly soon. A beautiful space.

I did wonder if the amphitheatre was ever used! Hopefully they reinstate it.

After seeing the trailer for Beetlejuice 2 I have a gut feeling I'm going to be underwhelmed.

Oh I watched the first one with my mum many years ago when I was going through a horror phase. I was not a fan. Also watched a replay of a really old movie along a similar vein at the drive ins a few years ago. Can't remember what it was called, but weird people broke down in the bush and then they broke into a house and weird people started singing or something like that. I didn't like that one either. Horror has to be horror for me, no horror comedy

I enjoyed the first one. I wouldn't describe Beetlejuice as horror. Not strictly anyway. Maybe fantasy comedy with a splash of horror.
