Lise has returned from the Great Ocean Road with a new identity: biker woman.

Turns out romance in midlife looks less like champagne and rose petals and more like thermals, Tipping Point, and your husband listening to the same Bon Jovi song for approximately 70 hours.

We also investigate a Gen X theory: did growing up with brutal 90s video games accidentally make us more resilient?

Plus: the shoes giving pig trotter, a wildlife encounter that absolutely was not a wildlife encounter, and the brilliant things we’re watching and reading right now.
