The hunting ground (Vol.6, 1983)

from My Mum's Bad Diaries · host Jenny Ackland and Lilika May

We are on to Volume 6!!! But as we discuss in the intro, it really does seem to be taking a while to get through the months.We start out with an early catch up about our Vanderpump Rules rewatch -- and because we don't want to force anyone to listen to our goings on about reality TV we made it a side chat. We talk about being in the burrow, being out of sorts and on edge and blame the planets. Mum talks about her 2025 obsessions: the Brontes, hacking and the more recent one: Tarot. My obsession with Dramione continues but did have a bit of a pause there for a while.Onto the reading, it's July 1983 and mum finally buys her photographic darkroom equipment, sets it up in the laundry then goes to dinner at Lygon St. We talk about grandad's pool of women and how mum manages to get a sunburned face in JULY. But she's happy with her darkroom and printing 'lots' of pictures including one of Sid the cat > check our instagram to see that!In the diary there's a new plan to go to New Zealand to work and ski, and outside the diary in 2025 we talk the new Frankenstein film, neither of us loved it (apart from the aesthetics) don't come at us!!!Mum's still reading Christiane F 'the drug book', the beetle runs out of petrol, mum goes to the office and 'does some typing', and is still sleeping in and still staying up late. She goes to see a play, Equus, at Monash Uni and there's a man naked on stage. She sees Apocalypse Now for the first time and loves it, and the episode ends with her dropping someone from Sydney off at the Aquarius Budget Motel in Carlise Street, St Kilda.This is part 1 of the reading session. Part 2 will follow next week.+As always, listen to experience: cringe, giggles and some real-life shit.Follow us on Insta @mumsbaddiaries and thanks for listeningWe'd love to read your comments or questions!
