5 hours ago My brother and father drowned on a bright summer day. Swimming brings me closer to the two men I’ve lost | Indigo Perry

When my grief was new and raw, I discovered that feeling it was preferable to the numbness that had set in since we’d buried themLast week, I swam in the sea, slowly wading in until the water reached my hips, and then diving under the softly rippling waves. Clear jellyfish gleamed from the sand. Turning over to float on my back, I let my limbs and hair drift around me, and I thought about the spectral presence-absence of my father and brother, who drowned on a very hot summer’s day more than 30 years ago.My memories of the time when they drowned veer up in summer, especially on certain hot days ending with thunderstorms. Anyone who’s spent a summer in Victoria knows the kind of day that marks the end of a heatwave. It starts off hot, everyone kicking off their bedcovers before it’s time to get up. The temperature hasn’t dropped below 30C all night and possibly all week. The sky is a hard blue at midday, and it seems nothing will break the heat, despite the weather bureau’s promises....

The surreal murder mystery’s impact is so profound that its fingerprints are on every show made during TV’s golden age. What a legacy In the coming days and weeks, much will be made about David Lynch’s gargantuan contribution to cinema. This will be undeniable and well deserved. However, there is the argument to be made that in actual fact David Lynch was able to master every medium in which he chose to work. His music, for instance, sounded like music that only he could make. And, sincerely, in both his daily weather report and his Today’s Number Is lottery draw, he deserves to be remembered as a pioneering YouTuber.However, in terms of pure influence, it might end up being the case that Lynch’s most important realm was television. In his lifetime, Lynch only ever worked on four TV projects. Two of them were cancelled after just three episodes. But the other two were Twin Peaks. And the impact both Twin Peaks series had on TV as a medium is hard to overstate. Continue reading...
