Via buggery.org: “The application form for an Australian passport is the latest official acknowledgment of the validity of same-sex relationships”

I really wish I could have been in Melbourne to see the Margaret Preston exhibition at the NGV.
I’ll just have to make do with the exhibitions available in London instead and this education kit instead. The same page also lists some resources for one of my other favourite Australian artists, Grace Cossington Smith.
From the Orange prize site, but not necessarily this year: “to support this year’s award, the Orange Prize for Fiction researched the UK’s first ever living library of 50 contemporary ‘essential reads’“.
I’ve read 20 of the list, but some of them were so long ago I barely remember them. Perhaps that should be my challenge for this year, assuming I manage to read everything on the bookshelves in the flat.
It doesn’t help that I went to the London Review Bookshop last night and bought The Secret River by Kate Grenville.
