My Mum's Bad Diaries

We continue straight on with the reading in this, our part 2 of The Shift. Mum reads out a Christmas card from Doriane, and we talk about how we first learn about romantic relationships: from those we see around us. We manage to get some contemporary 'boy talk' in (as always) and then it's back to January 1984 to continue with the reading. Mum has noted in her diary that the name of the mainframe computer she was working on at St Kilda Road was The Reality and it's all just a bit too 2001/HAL...

Hello and welcome to part 1 of this mega recording, which has spawned two episodes plus multiple side chats lol. We start by chatting about my 30th birthday and where I am in the world, and we get a brief catch up with all things mum: her next novel, her knee, her recent trips to shops including purchasing a TUPAC t-shirt you heard that right.

Welcome to our next episode, it's a biggie and I'm patching in from old London-town, plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Mum recorded a note at the beginning, about the editing approach for this one and about how she contacted her ex to check in about the project. We open up with me patching in from London, and mum talks about her morning routine (5 hours??). We tried recording this ep the night before but mum was too tired and 2 glasses of wine didn't help. So we're trying again. I had...
