The Adelaide Fringe has kind of started, but not officially, I’m not exactly sure what this preview week is about. But the city has definitely started talking about it. Lovely Deb Tribe invited me on to her show this morning to talk about my season. I really love her show, she has the same kind of warmth that makes me enjoy listening to Zan Rowe so much. Like they really do want you to have a good day.
I was all primed to go and sitting with my phone ready to make sure I could answer as soon as the producer rang. I had the radio on, but I was all ready to turn it off as soon as the phone rang. But as the time approached, I could tell it wasn’t me coming up next. Gah! I didn’t read the confirmation text properly, and I just assumed it said 6.45 because the show is filled up with so many regular segments like gardening. But it actually said 7.45. So I was up way ahead of time.
It wasn’t actually all that hard to wake up. I mean, I’d been awake most of the night anyway, worrying about my superannuation. Which is obviously an excellent use of sleeping time. But I did feel bad because I asked Adrian to set an alarm as insurance.
Anyway, the interview went really well, Deb is always super prepared and asks interesting questions. And at the end, there was a truly beautiful moment when someone texted in to say that I had helped her with her husband’s funeral and how well the funeral went. Sometimes, I just love living in this big-town city.
Then, because I was up, I made it to a gym class and now I will spend the rest of the day worrying about which show I should be working on. I might write more about that tomorrow.
Talk soon!
