Thank you Kylie! The streak is so nice for my dear 84 year old Mum (who literally gets too anxious to watch the games). I keep hoping they might get another premiership in her lifetime (if the stars align).
I enjoy your monthly missive a lot & often feel an urge to read some parts out to someone else! The mention of watching bodies in motion (in sport) reminded me (probably bc I don't watch sport!) of a book of essays by Jessia Friedmann from nearly 10 yrs ago, called Things That Helped. In part about her experience of post-partum depression, in one essay she describes depressedly/obsessively watching dance films on TV, and (if I remember correctly) she breaks down & analyses, move by move, a dance, and her physiological & psychological responses while watching it.
Thank you Maria this is such incredibly lovely feedback to receive. I love Jessica's writing and remember that book as such a beautiful gift of thinking and writing. Love the connection you found between us in this way.
Beautiful. I have a house full of happy Carlton supporters too. Might get them to paint some stars while luck is on their side.
