I’m very glad all the public holidays meant last week and this week was a short one here in Melbourne! Really did allow the time to settle back in and get into the swing of things.
That said, there were some decent highlights this week. If you’ve over on the Instagram channel, you would’ve seen some of them…
- Parents came back from the US – that in itself isn’t odd, but what was odd is coming back to Melbourne and then picking them up. I somehow feel like they’re always there in their house and this broke that illusion
- Had a totally unexpected outreach by an interesting brand wanting to work together. Now I haven’t received anything like this before in those terms so I actually thought it was a scam – my marketing friends told me that this is how they reach out normally 🤣
- As a result of that, I had to make a “media kit” — I had no idea what it was so just used a Canva template to make it and kept the original “pricing” section so I could ask the marketing folk since I have such a small audience. Now I thought the defaults for 2 posts on Instagram were ridiculously high, but EVERY marketing person I know came back with “double it” 🤯 I think I’m in the wrong career!
- There’s a restaurant in Melbourne that we’ve been trying to organise a dinner at for months now. Every time, something comes up and we either cant go or get a booking for the times that suits everyone. Just yesterday, finally ended up going! It was a nice dinner with friends, but just getting there felt like an achievement
- We made it on the last day of the most successful art exhibit at National Gallery of Victoria: Yayoi Kusama!
