Have you been to a concert recently? A large portion of the crowd seems to be experiencing the show through their screen and may as well be watching it on YouTube at home. It made me stop and think about the amount of screen time I have. I realised that I was either on my phone or my computer from 7am until 10pm most days, and that’s an awful lot of time staring at a screen and not interacting with the world around you.

‘Cos We’re Happy
As you know, I was on the cover of Sunday Magazine a couple of weeks ago. I promised that I would get a digital copy of it for you so that anyone who wanted to read the accompanying by Therese Oneill and see the pictures without having to read the body shaming/concern trolling/generally nasty comments on Stuff.co.nz (no one should have to read stuff like that!).
