So I used to be emmaesherry at the bad place, but happy to find some familiar faces here - my world spins around Melbourne (Naarm), higher education, AFL, cricket, women’s sport, and researching how sport can be used as a tool for social change 🏏🤓🌏

Husband ventured to Bunnings this morning - I waved him off tearfully not knowing if I would ever see him again … he’s back unscathed once again 😮‍💨

I’m going to Ningaloo Reef in WA for a week holiday and this weather is having a dramatic impact on my level of smug Victorian away from the cold 😂👎🏻

Well caring deeply about politics turned out to be a mistake. Time to instead become emotionally invested in a field where I’ll never be let down: sports

Taking a cue from the lizard and tortoise to sit in the sun for a moment or two on this beautiful autumn morning

Have reached a phase in my life where I’m not sure if the person is offering me their seat on the train because I’m a woman or because they think I’m old 🫣

Even though I’m not necessarily looking forward to going back to work tomorrow I think its definitely time - I’ve started cleaning up and throwing out from random cupboards around the house. I’m not super good at resting for too long!
