Facebook News is Back (and So Am I)

February 27, 2021

Welcome to Best of the Week, written - for the first time in a while - in a mostly empty New Mumbrella House in North Sydney. Today’s writing soundtrack: Bruce Springsteen - Western Stars.

I got back from my long service leave on Monday. It’s been an intense few weeks. As regular BOTW readers might remember, for most of my leave, I carried on writing this email on Fridays. But as the book deadline loomed, I stepped out of that too. Combine that with the car breaking down and being towed away to a dealership 200 kilometres away, and my Tasmanian solitude was full-on for the last three weeks. Thank goodness for Woolies home delivery, even to remote Sisters Beach.
