Lesbian Lockdown Playlist - Part 2 - Lone Lisa

Lesbian Lockdown Playlist – Part 2 – Lone Lisa

The lesbians are still in lockdown and haven’t seen each other in person due to social isolation rules. Here is Lisa’s response to Sue’s previous Lesbian Lockdown Playlist.  With a great mix of older classic tunes along with a few indie tracks just to keep things different.

Hopefully the OWLS will be back together soon and with that some fun and crazy banter.

Lesbian Lockdown - Part 1 - Solo Sue

Lesbian Lockdown – Part 1 – Solo Sue

The lesbians are in lockdown and strictly adhering to social isolation rules and the OWLS haven’t seen each other for weeks.   But of course that won’t stop them from sharing their thoughts on the world that we are now living in.   Sue has taken upon herself to choose all the music herself in this episode’s podcast playlist.  God help us all!

Don’t tell her but Lisa is secretly impressed with her…

COVID-19 Cacophony

In preparation of a potential lockdown in Melbourne, Australia and with JOY 94.9 only allowing minimal staff and volunteers in at the radio station, Lisa and Sue are recording their podcast at Lisa’s apartment.  Apologies in advance if the sound quality is not up to its usual standard but with background noise of dogs and alarms and rummaging through Lisa’s pantry it’s just one of the many things…

The Old Grey OWLS Ain’t What They Used to Be

Lisa, Sue and menopause just don’t mix. They are dealing with hot flushes, lots of blushes and just plain old night sweats and both are struggling to find anything good about the change of life.

Not only are the OWLS traversing the slippery slope of aging they are finding themselves getting more and more intolerant with incidents of public transport becoming more prevalent.

Lisa also share’s the…

Christmas Intervention

Voracious Vermin

OWLS generally known as birds of prey but in this instance the thought of rodents living it up in Lisa and Sue’s respective houses had them discuss the pitfalls and lengths that they have gone through to rid themselves of these voracious vermin.

Whilst they don’t consider themselves to be timid ladies, they both admit to hating mice, rats and spiders.

Lisa and Sue will give you expert advice and…

Reality Bytes

The OWLS are finally back in the studio.

With Sue busy with her new celebrant duties, unfortunately Lisa has resorted to watching reality TV to fill in some time. Lisa used to hate reality TV but has a number of new favourites much to Sue’s surprise.  Therefore, Lisa and Sue speculate about having their own reality TV show and work there way through a number of options for new show proposals.

Weddings, Funerals ... Anything

Celebrancy … a weird word that even the spell check on my Mac displays a dotted line underneath it like there is something wrong with it! Weird is perfect for Sue’s new career choice.

A celebrant is like a conductor for an orchestra, they may not be the greatest person there, nor the most prominent, or the most talented, yet they will hold everything together. They decide when to start and when…

Assisted Living Misgivings

The OWLS have been pondering their future with the potential of them going in to an Assisted Living facility in their twilight years. What would you expect from an aged care facility to accommodate a couple of ageing lesbians?

In typical OWL fashion, Lisa and Sue manage to look at a different approach to retirement with talk of bars and a pimped out golf buggy being the topics of conversation.

The OWLS have been absent from the airwaves for some time as life, work and commitments have kept them out of the recording studio.

Recharged after a long weekend in the beautiful state of Tasmania, Lisa shares her experiences of expectations of wonderous adventures with the realities of travel and “doing it on the cheap”.

With Lisa and Sue back from their Asian adventures they take time to reminisce over the fun and frivolity that ensued whilst celebrating Lisa’s milestone 50th birthday.
