Ever wondered what a day in the life of someone navigating sobriety looks like? In this episode of 'Luke Hand Diary', Luke Hand shares his Saturday, 29th June 2024, filled with everyday activities that offer both comfort and reflection. He starts the day with a trip to check out TVs with his 'birth landlord'—a quirky term that adds a bit of charm and mystery.
They marvel at the sheer size of modern televisions, which seems to be a moment of awe and simple pleasure. Luke then dives into some therapeutic cooking, making a massive batch of veggie soup. He emphasises the joy found in the mundane, like chopping vegetables and washing dishes by hand. It's a reminder that sometimes, the simplest tasks can be the most rewarding.
While cooking, Luke listens to Oasis's 'Standing on the Shoulder of Giants' era, reflecting on how the band could have made a killer EP instead of a padded album. His musings on the band's imperfect history highlight a broader theme: acceptance of life's imperfections. Late in the evening, he makes an impromptu decision to head to Melbourne for a matinee concert, booking V-line tickets on a whim.
With a mood and energy level both rated at six out of ten, Luke's day is a mix of contentment and gratitude, particularly for the simple act of cracking walnuts. This episode offers a slice-of-life look into sobriety, showing that even ordinary days can be meaningful and fulfilling.
