What do you read when you want to read but need to flip pancakes. I read collections of magazine style articles. An endless weekend paper. Catherine does a fine job of building up an argument or a joke to a good stew. And reading about TV is in my opinion so much finer than actually watching it. Righteous, funny, proud of her opinions on all the key topics: births, hitting children, marriages, changing names, and the Brownlow. And it's all such a relief.
Most kids don't give a rat's about the improvised music workshops, organic gardens and interpretive dance classes they do at school. But the parents, eyes blazing, face alight, will bore you senseless about them in an attempt to convince you of their coolness. All it actually does is convince us that they are Wannabe Creatives; insecure dags who had friends in bands but were never in bands themselves. Too much exposure to organised creativity immunises children against creativity. p62
