This afternoon I saw ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf’ at the STC. A good play with some strong performances but it did not need to be nearly 3 and a half hours (with 2 breaks). 🎭
And I’ll say it again. If you’re seeing a play, turn off your bloody phone!

Reviewed my bank app this morning after enjoying two strong martini’s at home last night and things are looking grim.

I’ve had one of four light globes out in my kitchen for months and today I decided to finally replace it. It’s now too bright and I need sunglasses to cook.

Eye test today confirmed my eye sight continues to deteriorate. And I’m not super enthused about the new frames I selected, let alone the cost of them. 😩

I have been travelling for work this week and forgot about Halloween until I saw all the costumes in the city. It’s just not a thing in regional NSW.

As someone who is lucky to have one social commitment a month, I have somehow ended up with 4 social events this weekend.
I’ve had more outfit changes than a backup dancer at a Kylie concert and have no idea how the extroverted population keep up with it all.
