Shows, Shows Shows and Television
So I was on the Bugle Live last week, as a giant head coming in via a screen and this week I did ABC television’s show “Question Everything”. Two different things that weren’t quite a live comedy show but both of which were WAY closer to a live comedy show than I’ve done for a long time.The Bugle was interest...
Television, Tea With Alice Salon 37
I never get over how beautiful this lighthouse is and how lucky I am to be able to walk to it from where I live now, to see it in all different lights. Well. The response to my little announcement was overwhelming and kind. I feel warmed by everyone’s generous hearts. It took a few days to feel comfortable with havin...

From some time in mid October (exact date TBC) I will be taking six weeks of maternity leave. To have a baby. That’s what it’s for. I mean it won’t take me six weeks to have th...

Double Open Salon Tomorrow!
Hallo! This is an old gun emplacement overlooking the mouth of Sydney Harbour, near where I live. The decrepit architecture of war overlooking natural beauty is one of those things I find emotionally moving, even if I find it hard to put a finger on what emotion exactly is evoked. Melancholy? Nostalgia? Admiration? Dis...

Angry Thinkers, Hungry Handsome Birds and Tea With Alice Salon 33 Details (U.K. time)
Hallo Darling PatreonitesThankyou for all the lovely messages as always. This bird was eating the flowers out of a local garden, which was extremely cute. Though I know cockatoos can be very destructive, I find it hard not to be charmed by their brash confidence and fancy hats.Sydney lockdown wends onwards with various...

Prepping, peeping and piling on.
I have a prepper friend who talks about hoarding amoxicillin and ammo, and every time he does, I think “I’m allergic to amoxicillin”, which is true. It brings me out in a full body rash. Well, it did once, and now I have to write it on forms. I guess I’m allergic to bullets too; if they’re delivered in the tr...
Beetles, Writing Session, Tea With Alice Salon 32
Look at this remarkably shiny beetle! There’s a tree near my house that’s absolutely coated in them, and when I go for my walk, I see people walk past it on the footpath. Many of them are so close they brush the leaves. These shiny beetles cling calmly on. None of the people seem to notice the beetle-tree.Who has s...
The moon, Sexiness, Salon 31 link.
This picture is of the moon, not the sun. It doesn’t capture how MASSIVE that moon was (help me, science/photography friends - why doesn’t big moon-ness come across in pictures?)—-Some Thoughts on SexinessOver the last few days I have kept seeing examples of ‘creepy’ writing by men about their children - the ...
Tea With Alice Salon 30
Hallo Patreonites!Updates and thinking:The last few episodes of The Gargle podcast have been so much fun, and I just recorded an episode of a BBC Radio sitcom last night (rehearsal call time: 1am, recording call time: 4.45am, Bed time 6.30am.

New Tea With Alice is up! Visakan V and twitter life.
Visa is a thinker who thinks about thinking - I've known him for a while on twitter, and I've always enjoyed watching the process of him organising thoughts in webs and threads.

CHRONOS (US time) and Writers Workshop
Hey lovely Patreonites, I’m going to be doing some loose writing time on Friday morning at 11am. Nothing formal, just a way to hang out and be in a creative ‘space’ when you can’t actually be there. DM me if you’d like to join. I’ll send the first five or six people the link only so it doesn’t become a sh...
All Access: Tea With Alice Salon 29
Hallo all!Looks like football didn’t come home to the U.K. this week, and boy are their arms … not tired (because you don’t use your arms in football, unless you’re cheating or the goal keeper). I’ve never really followed football, but it’s always interesting to see anything that has such a wide and intense...
Tea With Alice Salon
Hallo! Lockdown in Sydney is going well, though of course there are ups and downs. It’s fascinating the psychological impact of not being allowed to do something - how many people who otherwise are living very routine and boring and constrained lives (work, home, local cafe for a takeaway coffee) are indignant at hav...
Live Show!
Hallo lovely people! With the sad cancellation of my run of CHRONOS at the Bondi Festival I’ll be doing an online version of CHRONOS for you streamy online types on 14 July. I may make my dad come round and watch it again to provide an audience vibe if we’re still in lockdown on the 14th. That said, he has seen it ...
Tea With Alice Salon 27
So, Sydney is back in lockdown - the price we pay for having had a relatively charmed run through this pandemic as a city is being able to make plans and have them cancelled when these lockdowns come. The delta variant is no joke, though, and I haven’t yet seen a country be able to head it off - even the ones that ha...
Tea With Alice Salon 26
Hallo friends - this water was a ridiculous deep colour that defied the way light is supposed to work and it really thrilled me. Been having thoughts about a bunch of stuff and as always want to discuss what you’ve been wrestling with. (DM me or drop a comment below if you’d like me to get a head start on wrapping ...

Hallo Beautiful PatreonitesThis week’s salon is back to normal, after the excitement of last week’s guest / salon crossover experiment with the excellent Laurie Penny.

Tea With Alice Salon 23
This bird kept me company over breakfast today, what a nice friendly thing. Sometimes it’s a Kookaburra, but he seems more focused on his own concerns, and less companionable. This week’s salon is Tuesday 8pm Sydney time, and I’ve got lots of things I’ve been thinking about after my week off - I hope you have t...
Tea With Alice Salon Next Week
Will be in Sydney time, and I’ll send the invite through later this week. This week is off, as usual and then Sydney, U.K. and a US timezone. I’m having a lovely time this week visiting my twin and his beautiful family. It’s extremely good and soothing and frustrating and delicious. My brother’s wife is 6 feet ...
Tea With Alice Salon 22 - end of SCF

The Tea With Alice salon for this week is 8pm Tuesday East Coast US time; details are as follows....
New Tea With Alice: Dara Ó Briain
I had the marvellous Dara Ó Briain on zoom explaining why he doesn't drink tea and how he's embarking on a podcast tour of the world. We discussed intergenerational and inter-dimensional differences, work process and how we get drawn back to themes or pole dancers over the course of our work.I really enjoyed t...
