Published: Jan. 22, 2019, 11:07 a.m.

Join Caroline Wilson and Corrie Perkin for a cup of tea at Caro’s beach house as We start with some New Year’s housekeeping and prepare to cope with post summer holiday blues. Caro has theories about Bill Shorten’s recent comments on drug use and gives Bernard Tomic and serve for his spiteful feud with Lleyton Hewitt. Caro and Corrie discuss Kelly O’Dwyer’s announcement that she will leave Federal Parliament and not contest the seat of Higgins at the next election. What now for women in the Liberal party? Melbourne morning radio is set for a huge shake up, ABC Radio Melbourne’s John Faine has announced he’ll take a step back from the mic next year. There’s quite an interesting list of suggested replacements and Caro thinks she knows just the woman for the job. Corrie undertakes a Summer holiday review and shares a few tips on how to take that Summer holiday feeling home with you. Corrie has a ‘Crush of the Week’ thanks to The Interchange Bench - Californian Senator Kamala Harris.     www.interchangebench.com.au  BSF Corrie reports on the Indie Book Awards and a stunning short list (perfect for some book club inspiration - see the list below) or checkout the full list HERE.  Caro’s blending her books and screen this week as she works her way through David Stratton’s ‘101 Marvellous Movies You May Have Missed’, plus Caro shares a simple Annabelle Crabb hot smoked salmon and greens recipe (recipe to below). Caro’s grumpy about more than just dog poo on the beach and early hot cross buns. 6 Quick Questions leads us down a couple of interesting rabbit holes from Gillette marketing men to men, suspended Aussie cricketers, how old is too old to drive?   Caro’s Good Local Tip is to hit the Op Shops now for bargains while everyone’s in decluttering mode.
