The Weekly May 5 2023

You don’t wing Mother’s Day Audible groans were heard around the country on Tuesday when the RBA shocked experts with another rate rise from 3.6 per cent to  3.85 per cent. But you’ll be hearing more than that if you forget to shower Mum (yours or your kids’ one and only) with gifts, pamper sessions…

The Weekly 21 April 2023 Speak now or forever hold your peace… Last year we were keeping tabs on the pedestrianisation of the Avalon Village. The roadwork commotion, the traffic banked up at the lights onto Pittwater road, the landscaping. It’s been a few months since the proverbial and actual dust has settled, the final…

The Weekly April 7 2023

Happy Easter, everyone! There is so much to unpack right now. Daylight savings has given every parent of small people extra eye bags and an increased coffee addition, rate hikes have finally (finally!) paused, school holidays are back like they never ended and you’ve all cleared out every shop from Av to Manly of mini…

The big day is here Election Eve. It’s like the night before Christmas – except with a sausage sizzle for breakfast, pamphlets instead of presents and a looooong line to participate. Yet there’s an anticipation you can’t deny. Everyone worth their council sticker will be out and about, scouting the quickest voting booth and the…

It’s getting hot in here The NSW election is less than two weeks away and things are heating up. Literally and figuratively. Not only on the State side of things, with a raft of electoral boundary changes throwing curve balls and experts calling it the closest election since 2011, but on the local front as…

Goodbye, old friend We were so sad to see Leonardo’s Deli close its laneway doors on Wednesday. The vibrant energy, live music and unrivaled charcuterie it brought to Avalon’s nightlife (not to mention the owners huge smiles and warm hugs) since 2021 will be incredibly missed. Thank you for injecting a vibe! A zing! And…

Farewell Summer… And just like that, the first trademark Summer in what feels like a decade has come and gone. And god it was good. Satisfyingly hazy, lazy and memory-making. Even when it was (and still is) so humid it felt like far north Queensland, it was SUMMER. Let’s just all take a moment for…

The Weekly February 24 2023

We did it! Big news around here… If you’ve been wondering why the Shores team have been walking around Avalon with huge grins on our faces the past few days, now you’ll know why.

Highs, lows and roundabouts A pregnant Rhianna performing at the Super Bowl (who runs the world?), the continuous and devastating news coming out of Türkiye and Syria (last week’s guide to supporting victims if you haven’t already) and the lazer focus on the RBA and those interest rate hikes… which you can read about from…

The Weekly 27 January 2023

Back to schoooool And there you have it. School summer holidays are pretty much fin as we go to print and another chapter of back-to-back beach days, balmy family eves, staying at so-and-so’s house, the local Mr Whippy at ungodly hours and the well worn combination of OOSH, WFH and can-you-please-have-them playdates have come to…
