Each week, we try to show off some things that have brought us some joy in the hopes it'll help you find your own, and this week we're showcasing some delicious whiskey, as well as a new season of one of our favourite shows. Dark Lark | Image: Scott Purcell / Man of Many 2025 Dark Lark Limited Edition Release Scott Purcell – Co-Founder I just got back from Dark Mofo in Tassie this Wednesday and last Thursday was lucky enough to head out Lark's Pontville Distillery. Lark has now moved nearly all of it's flagship production from its previous Cambridge facility out to Pontville and it's definitely a site to behold and worth a visit if you're down in Hobart. Full of rich history (literally with buildings built in the early 1800's) and even better stories over a dram, there's plenty to discover. As part of the Dark Mofo festival, Lark now releases a limited edition Dark Lark bottle each year, and the 2025 release is one of their sexiest and best looking bottles yet. The design is inspired by the fiery lichen-lit shores of the Bay of Fires in Tasmania and the label even glows in the dark! It was also awarded Gold at the 2025 World Spirits Competition in San Francisco, one of the most respected and competitive global stages for spirits worldwide. While it wasn't crafted at Pontville (instead at their Bothwell Distillery) there is plenty on offer for whisky fans and you won't be disappointed with hints of ripe paypaya, maple-glazed almonds and juicy berry compote.

For that, I think Couple's Therapy is a fantastic show – the latest season is streaming on SBS On Demand now, and I can't recommend it enough. The show gives you a really unique insight into the process behind therapy, with New York-based psychologist Dr. Orna Guralnik taking you into her practice, showcasing sessions with struggling couples, as well as her supervision sessions with other therapists between. It's really fascinating stuff, and as you watch you'll start to find yourself empathising with her clients' problems, as well as root for them to figure out how to make it through whatever is causing them distress. It does dive into some deeply uncomfortable territory—it's showcasing people's therapy sessions, after all—but it's a great reminder that everyone goes through tough times, and that surrounding yourself with good, supportive people is almost always the answer.

As Australia's first digital publisher to achieve 100% carbon-neutral certification under the Federal Government's Climate Active standard, we offset our emissions, and I am personally doing my part through a recent update to my daily water bottle. Nalgene's 1 L Sustain water bottle helps me stay on top of my daily hydration with clearly marked millilitre graduations, ensuring I reach my 3L target (because if you don't track it, it doesn't count). It also gives me peace of mind: the bottle is made from material derived from 50 % waste plastic, certified through ISCC mass balance, which reduces reliance on fossil fuels and lowers greenhouse-gas emissions. Another handy feature is the wide-mouth design and dishwasher-safe build, leaving no tight crevices for nasties to hide and letting the dishwasher give it a thorough clean.

Alcaraz crowned king of Queen's for second time

Carlos Alcaraz clinched his second Queen's Club title as the world number two warmed up for Wimbledon with a 7-5, 6-7 (5/7), 6-2 win against Jiri Lehecka in Sunday's final. Alcaraz blasted 33 winners and 18 aces to subdue the gritty Czech world number 30 in two hours and 10 minutes in west London. Having won titles on clay at the French Open, Rome and Monte Carlo, as well as the hard courts of Rotterdam, Alcaraz has now collected five trophies in 2025. The 22-year-old has not lost since the Barcelona final against Holger Rune on April 20 and is enjoying the longest winning streak of his career with 18 successive victories. Top seeded Alcaraz is just the second Spanish man to win Queen's twice after Feliciano Lopez, who lifted the trophy in 2017 and 2019. "I'm happy to lift this trophy once again. It's a nightmare to play against Jiri, but it's been an incredible week," Alcaraz said. "I came without expectations. I just wanted to play good tennis and get used to the grass. "It's really special playing here every year. I can't wait to come back next year." For a player raised on the clay courts of Spain, Alcaraz has developed into a formidable force on grass. The former world number one signalled his emergence on the surface by winning Queen's in 2023. He clinched the Wimbledon title for the first time just weeks later and defended his All England Club crown last year. Alcaraz, who has an 11-1 career record at Queen's, will start his bid for a third successive Wimbledon title on June 30. After his semi-final win over Roberto Bautista Agut on Saturday, Alcaraz fired an ominous message to his Wimbledon rivals, warning that his "grass-court mode" had been activated. And on the evidence of his relentless display against the obdurate Lehecka, he is in no mood to surrender his All England Club crown. - Ruthless Alcaraz - Playing his first tournament since his epic French Open victory against Jannik Sinner two weeks ago, Alcaraz's march to the Queen's showpiece made it five consecutive finals for the Spaniard. In contrast, Lehecka was playing in his first grass-court final after a shock win against British star Jack Draper in the last four. The 23-year-old was the first Czech in the Queen's final since Ivan Lendl in 1990. Lehecka had come from a set down to stun Alcaraz in the Qatar Open quarter-finals in February. But there would be no repeat of that upset on the lawns of Barons Court. In his second Queen's final, Alcaraz had an early chance to break in the fifth game of the first set. Lehecka thundered down an ace to get out of trouble of that occasion. But the five-time Grand Slam champion matched Lehecka's serve blow for blow, dropping just one point in his first four service games. Alcaraz's piercing ground-strokes increased the pressure and Lehecka finally cracked in the the 11th game when an badly-timed double-fault gifted the first break to the Spaniard. Alcaraz served out the set in typically ruthless fashion, but Lehecka refused to surrender without a fight. A tight second set stayed on serve all the way through to the tie-break and, for once, Alcaraz stumbled with a key double-fault, allowing Lehecka to level the match. Alcaraz was unfazed, breaking for a 3-1 lead in the deciding set when Lehecka netted an off-balance forehand. Alcaraz had the finish line in sight and he wrapped up his latest title triumph with a flurry of searing winners. smg/ea
