Brunch with the kids? Kid-friendly cafes in and around Perth
A cafe on a farm full of cubby houses, a climbing wall and lots of animals to feed? This is kid and adult heaven all wrapped up. When you're done feeding the farm animals you can feed yourself with their delicious menu that goes far beyond kiddie stuff. Think miso tofu ochazuke and twice-cooked Wagin duck leg. You'll be stuffed, the kids will be exhausted — win-win.

This great little cafe in the Poolgarla Family Area of Kings Park is adjacent to some serious playground action, which is especially good if you have slightly older kids you can watch from a distance while lingering over a coffee. Their menu is full of cafe classics and they are licensed, too.

Maybe don't descend on this tiny cafe with your entire mothers group, as squeezing in a pram would take some doing. But if you want to stay central, grab some breakfast and have a toddler in tow, Hank's is where to go. This cute-as cafe has a great little play area with Duplo and a few little toys and books to keep them entertained while you enjoy their excellent coffee.

This cute cafe claims to be Basso's most kid and pet-friendly cafe, which means it's also pretty good for grown-ups with either of those things in their custody. With a mini play kitchen and seating separate to the main cafe, this is a great spot to meet with friends with kids (and pets).

How men can reject Trump's crude masculinity and rediscover their richer selves
It was one of the most erotic things I ever heard. A man I know said he was reading all the novels of Jane Austen in one summer. At first, I figured he was pretending to like things that women like to seem simpatico, a feminist hustle. But no, this guy really wanted to read Northanger Abbey. Men are reading less. Women make up 80 per cent of fiction sales. 'Young men have regressed educationally, emotionally and culturally,' David J. Morris wrote in a New York Times essay titled 'The Disappearance of Literary Men Should Worry Everyone.' The fiction gap makes me sad. A man staring into a phone is not sexy. But a man with a book has become so rare, such an object of fantasy, that there's a popular Instagram account called 'Hot Dudes Reading.' Some of the most charming encounters I've had with men were about books. Mike Nichols once turned to me at a dinner in Los Angeles and told me his favourite novel was Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth. I was startled because I have read that book over and over, finding it a great portrait of a phenomenon that is common in politics. Someone makes a wrong move and is unable to recover, slipping into a shame spiral. (This does not apply to Donald Trump.) I went to interview Tom Stoppard in Dorset a few years ago. The playwright has no computer and is not on social media. He writes with a Caran d'Ache fountain pen with a six-sided barrel. Stoppard had a romantic-looking bookcase full of first editions of Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. He complained that his book collection was regularly raided by 'American burglars.'

Shark attack: Pregnant TV host and wife of former NBA star Danilo Gallinari bitten by shark in Puerto Rico
A pregnant television presenter has revealed the horror moment when she was attacked by a shark close to shore at a resort in Puerto Rico. Eleonora Boi, shared a photo of herself in a hospital bed on Instagram, describing the experience as the 'worst day of my life.' 'I never thought I could get attacked by a shark and I was near the shore and on a super crowded beach,' she wrote in the caption of the photo according to a translation. She explained that she had to have surgery for the injury she sustained on her leg. 'I was rushed to the rescue and the surgery to fix my poor bruised leg went well,' she said. Boi is the wife of former NBA star Danilo Gallinari, and expressed her gratitude for his support during the incident. 'I thank my husband . . . he gave me all his love and courage,' she added. 'Now I just have to recover from the great scare and try to forgive the great friend who betrayed me. Shark will be hearing from my legals soon.' Local police confirmed that a woman suffered an open wound to her thigh at Carolina Resort, Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Dia reported. 'Based on the photographs provided to us, we believe the characteristics of the bite could be consistent with those of a shark, but to validate this, a series of analyses would be necessary,' Nilda Jiménez said. Boi and Gallinari, who are both from Italy originally, married in July 2022 and share two children. Boi is a sports journalist and presenter and is pregnant with their third child. Danilo Gallinari is an accomplished Italian basketball forward who began his professional career in Italy before being selected 6th overall in the 2008 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks.
