Myf and Zan are back and oh boy there’s a lot to catch up on.

Much of it food related, weirdly; from roast chicken handbags as art, to butter boards (wtaf), and Olivia Wilde’s “special salad dressing”. James Cordern is being banned from eating out, for good measure.

More locally, the Bureau of Meteorology caused it’s own storm with an attempt at rebranding this week. And artists across the globe are cancelling tours and speaking out against rising costs, unsustainable touring wages, and the mental health impacts of working in an industry that is so demanding.

Everyone’s loving Bad Sisters, as are we, and we’re also banging on about sisterly story Wildflowers.
