Swimming (jex)

From Palm Beach to Cronulla, Mount Druitt to Bondi, Sydney is a city made for swimming. 

Over a calendar year, lifelong swimmer, educator and writer Chris Baker swam at iconic beaches, municipal pools, harbour baths, tidal rock pools, bushland lakes and a backyard pool,

In this episode of Gleetalks, he talks to curator and broadcaster Michaela Kalowksi about his book Swimming Sydney: A Tale of 52 Swims, a valentine to the beautiful obsession of swimming in the world’s most beautiful city, and how storytelling is the best way to navigate life’s emotional currents.

THE INSTANT #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

From award-winning writer Nigel Slater, comes a new and exquisitely written collection of notes, memoir, stories and small moments of joy.

'Nigel Slater’s prose is the rarest delicacy of all: exquisite yet effortless, filled with heart, tenderness, yearning and humour' ELIZABETH DAY 

 For years, Nigel Slater has kept notebooks of curiosities and wonderings, penned while at his kitchen table, soaked in a fisherman’s hut in Reykjavik, sitting calmly in a moss garden in Japan or sheltering from a blizzard in a Vienna Konditorei.

These are the small moments, events and happenings that gave pleasure before they disappeared. Miso soup for breakfast, packing a suitcase for a trip and watching a butterfly settle on a carpet, hiding in plain sight. He gives short stories of feasts such as a mango eaten in monsoon rain or a dish of restorative macaroni cheese and homes in on the scent of freshly picked sweet peas and the sound of water breathing at night in Japan.

This funny and sharply observed collection of the good bits of life, often things that pass many of us by, is utter joy from beginning to end.

‘I loved this. It is a secular book of hours – thoughts and pleasures beautifully cadenced and generously placed’ Edmund de Waal

‘﻿Nigel Slater has a magical capacity to find beauty in the smallest moments. A nourishing, sustaining book’ Olivia Laing

‘His evocative, uplifting observations are a balm for life: a prose-poem for eaters and a spiritual companion for thoughtful cooks. A true and enduring joy’ Nigella Lawson

‘You can’t always feel buoyant and grateful but noticing – and getting pleasure from – the seemingly insignificant is a good way to live. As he says, feel the “small moments of joy”’ Diana Henry

A Thousand Feasts: Small Moments of Joy … A Memoir of Sorts, By Nigel Slater, Read by Nigel Slater

🎧A Daily Dram of Music to Warm Your Soul🎧

MiSTah Kye, also known as MK or Kye, is a 20 year old Musical Artist/Songwriter who grew up in North West London, UK and attended a school in Wembley. It was reported that Kye was the quiet kid in school, yet he was a huge fan of Rap-rock & Hip-hop. At age 15, he wrote his own lyrics for fun and by 17, music had become his passion.

A notable characteristic of MiSTah Kye is his ability to make his own music using an iPhone (as revealed by his engineer tag, "What? MiSTah Kye mixed this on a phone?"). Initially, he used an iPhone 5 and called his idea "#NoStudio", but after success, he invested in studio equipment and got a better iPhone. This means he now links professional equipment to his iPhone and has created his own studio. Despite his success, he prefers making music this way. Mixing on his iPhone has become his distinct characteristic and as a result, he's intrigued to see what else he can accomplish using his own method.

Since releasing an album (Recovery), a season (Retrogress), and over 15 singles all mixed and mastered on an iPhone, MiSTah Kye has accumulated over 50 million streams across all major platforms.

As an artist, Kye paints vivid images with his lyrics, he does this to show his fans that they're not alone. He also does this to escape the outside world as he has experienced many traumas growing up. This shows he isn't afraid to speak his truth no matter how bad it may be. However, in some of his lyrics, his alter-ego "MK" takes control and shouts unfiltered rhymes displaying sides of violence and ruthless anger over sadness.

MiSTah Kye’s music is storyline driven and he calls it his musical documentary (The MiSTah Kye Story) which means each time he releases music, it is a continuation of his previous release. Therefore, his fans (MK Army) are expected to follow along with the story.
