Woke up this morning still thinking about last night's performance of Death of a Salesman 💼 Between Arthur Miller's writing - 70 years young, still crisp and real and heavy with meaning - and the outstanding work of the cast, it was a real emotional upheaval, especially since I had never seen or read the play before. . My full review will be up for Limelight Magazine soon but, spoiler alert, Queensland Theatre's Death of a Salesman is a 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 production. Experience it for yourself at @atqpac until March 2. You will feel a lot of things ❤ . . . . #backstreetbrisbane #deathofasalesman #qldtheatre #leadingfromqld #brisbane #brisbanecity #brisbanecbd #brisbanereviews #brisbaneblogger #brisbaneblog #brisbanetheatre #qpac #brisbaneevents #brisbanelifestyle #brisbanearts #brisbanecreatives

All these beautiful blue skies are almost worth the sweat-drenched days. Almost. ☀️🏵🌿 I've spent the past three days working/hiding from the heat at @statelibraryqld. The aircon is intense 👍👍. . . . #backstreetbrisbane #brisbane #brisbanecity #brisbanecbd #viewsofbrisbane #blueskies #brisbanesummer #brisbaneanyday #visitbrisbane #discoverbrisbane #igersbrisbane #brisbaneblog #brisbaneblogger

Big burger, good people, and lots of sunshine made the weekend feel longer than it was. No complaints here ☀️🍔☀️. . . . . #backstreetbrisbane #brisbane #brisbanecity #brisbanecbd #brisbanefood #brisbanefoodie #brisbanelunch #brisbaneburgers #burgerproject #brisbanevegetarian #brisbaneeats #brisbaneblogger #brisbaneblog #eatbrisbane

Little places like this remind me of John Einarsen's 'Small Buildings of Kyoto' project. His photographs helped me to see a new place in a new light as I was exploring it, and now whenever I see small buildings - sometimes tucked between highrises, sometimes standing alone like this - I think about the changes they have seen, the different lives and businesses that have moved in and out and around them. They're rarer in Brisbane, I think, but equally interesting to stumble upon 🏠🌆. . . . . . #backstreetbrisbane #brisbane #brisbanecity #brisbanecbd #viewsofbrisbane #brisbaneanyday #visitbrisbane #discoverbrisbane #igersbrisbane #brisbaneblog #brisbaneblogger #smallbuildings

Tasting the rainbow (cake) 😍🍰🌈 happy Friday! This week has been a bit of a doozy for me; my brain and my soul feel a little bit fried and scattered, and I wouldn't mind curling into a ball indefinitely. But, I'm looking forward to a couple of days of seeing friends, unpacking boxes, and finding places for things in our new home 🏠 and do you know what else helps with a weary heart? RAINBOW CAKE 😂. . Seriously though, the start of the year can be a kick in the guts. Things are moving quickly and it feels like there's barely time to sit quietly and take a breath. Take good care of yourself and your people, and ask for help if you need it. All easier said than done, but practice makes perfect ❤❤. . . . . #backstreetbrisbane #brisbane #brisbanecity #brisbanefood #brisbanefoodie #brisbanecoffee #brisbanecafe #kelvingrove #brisbaneblogger #brisbaneblog #brisbaneanyday #eatbrisbane #discoverbrisbane #visitbrisbane #igersbrisbane #rainbowcake

It's been over a decade since I ate beef so I can't vouch for it's similarity to the real deal, but holy moly the classic vegan cheeseburger at @grassfedplantbased was DELICIOUS and the strawberry shake was AMAZING 😍🍔🍨 I haven't been able to handle a whole milkshake for years without a stomach ache but this one is made on soy milk and coconut icecream and just left me feeling super satisfied 💚. . . . . #backstreetbrisbane #brisbane #brisbanecity #brisbanefood #brisbanefoodie #brisbaneburgers #grassfed #veganburger #brisbanevegetarian #brisbanevegan #brisbaneblogger #brisbaneblog #brisbaneanyday #eatbrisbane #discoverbrisbane #visitbrisbane #igersbrisbane

If Red Dead Redemption 2 was a French film, it would be The Sisters Brothers (Les frères Sisters) 🤠🐎🔫 I was fortunate to see a screening as part of the media launch of the 30th @af_fff_aus on Tuesday night. The film is dryly funny and with a distinctly French ‘flavour’ to the cinematography and scripting despite the overt American-ness of the actors and the setting. Gut-wrenching, bittersweet, and surprisingly beautiful. . Tickets are on sale from today for the full line-up of fifty-four films coming to @palacecinemasbrisbane for the Alliance Francaise French Film Festival's 30th birthday, running March 14 - April 14. More details on the blog now, and on the festival website 🇫🇷🥂. . . . . #backstreetbrisbane #af_fff_aus #alliancefrancaise #frenchfilmfestival #reddeadredemption2 #thesistersbrothers #palacecinemas #foreignfilmfestival #brisbaneblogger #brisbaneblog #brisbaneevents #brisbanelifestyle #brisbaneanyday #visitbrisbane #discoverbrisbane #igersbrisbane

City lunch breaks 🥑🍞 I normally work from home, but over the next six weeks or so I have office hours with actual other human beings. It's been nice to work together in person but does mean I have to cool it on talking to myself...😂. . . . . #backstreetbrisbane #brisbane #brisbanecity #brisbanecbd #brisbanefood #brisbanefoodie #brisbanelunch #bagelboys #brisbanevegetarian #brisbaneeats #brisbaneblogger #brisbaneblog #brisbaneanyday #visitbrisbane #discoverbrisbane #igersbrisbane #eatbrisbane

This year's birthday cake brief from the boyfriend was 'that chocolate cake from Matilda' 😂 swipe for the inspiration. I added strawberries on top but there was still an artery-clogging/delicious amount of butter and chocolate involved 😋🍫. . . . . #backstreetbrisbane #brisbane #brisbanecity #brisbanefood #brisbanefoodie #matildathemovie #nostalgia #brucebogtrotter #homecooking #baking #chocolate #chocolatecake #chocolatemudcake

"Hope is an action". Florence + The Machine filled Riverstage with incredible energy last night. Literal goddess. Incredible performer. Almost-full moon rising behind us over the trees; jumping, dancing, singing; holding sweaty hands with strangers and loved ones (um, and Florence!).

That glisten 😍 perfectly soft and fluffy eggs with relish at @duowestend on Saturday were the highlight of traipsing around the city on our ongoing search for a new place to rent 🏘🍳. . . . . . #backstreetbrisbane #brisbane #brisbanecity #brisbanecbd #brisbanefood #brisbanefoodie #brisbanecoffee #brisbanecafe #brisbanebreakfast #brisbanebrunch #visitbrisbane #discoverbrisbane #igersbrisbane #eatbrisbane #brisbaneanyday #westend #brisbanevegetarian

Fairy light road map, flying CNS to BNE ✨ I've taken that trip so many times that the flight has become familiar. I'm back in Brisbane after an extended holiday with family, the longest amount of time we've all been together since I left home 6 years ago, and I'm still clinging to that relaxed family atmosphere and considering the divided idea of 'home'. I hope you've all had a refreshing start to the year, or at least a good beginning surrounded by the people you love. Now it's back to work and adulting for me, and the hunt for a new rental.. . . . #backstreetbrisbane #brisbane #brisbanecity #brisbanecbd #viewsofbrisbane #brisbaneanyday #visitbrisbane #discoverbrisbane #igersbrisbane #brisbaneblog #brisbaneblogger #brisbaneairport
