Last night was the first night this week that I didn’t have anything on after work and, while it’s very lovely having fun things to go to, I realise I no longer have the stamina for the life of a socialite… 🥱😆

Far out! I was almost run down by a youth travelling too fast on an electric scooter. This happened about 15 seconds after the lady in front of me was also nearly hit by someone else from their group.

I was 🔥ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS🔥 and only just managed to keep my response in a PG format (it happened outside my office building and I didn’t think it would be a good look to melt his face off with the words that were about to escape my mouth)

I’m so over their selfish behaviour 😡

Folks! I’ve just been to see Calamity Jane at Queensland Theatre Company and it’s an absolute cracker!

They’ve only got two more shows in Brisbane before heading on tour, so do yourself a favour and get along for a real fun time!

I’m at the theatre waiting to go to see a play and there’s a teeny weeny doggo wandering around the foyer saying hi to everyone 🥰

This arvo I’m off to see The Fijian Flying Circus at BrisFest and I’m so excited!!

They’ve been getting rave reviews

Oh boy. Just had another cancellation notice for a creative workshop that I’d registered to attend.

It’s the fourth one in the last two months that hasn’t been able to get enough bookings to make it viable.

I feel very sad for everyone involved ☹️

Just booked my ticket to see Madness play next March!

Top service at my local Australia Post this morning.

I was picking up a couple of new travel cases that I’d be transporting home on public transport.

They were boxed and would’ve been awkward to carry, and I mentioned in passing that I was going outside to unbox them.

The lady immediately offered to help me cut open and dispose of the boxes.

What a flippin’ legend!!! 😃

I’m really enjoying The Brokenwood Mysteries… it’s a (slightly grittier than Midsomer Murders) police drama series from New Zealand with a great soundtrack

I’m off to see Suzy/Eddie Izzard tonight. They were meant to be here late last year, but had to reschedule so I’m very excited the day has finally arrived 😃

Oh dear… ordered a grocery delivery and it looks like a bag was misplaced.

It’s great that a refund was easily made, but it held some crucial items that I was going to use for dinner…

Got my flu vax through work and it was done by a different clinic to previous years… they don’t give lollipops ☹️

This morning I’m off to a belly dancing market that my sister-in-law is involved in. Not sure what to expect, but im sure it will be fun

This is mega week…

Three days of taking notes in award judging meetings. Good stuff, but melts the mind.

Four evenings filled with Kyla Cobbler (Irish comedian), Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra (jaaaazz bébé), The Last Ship (Sting’s musical) and The Girls from Greece: The Big Cafe Tour (a jazz singer & an opera singer from Greek origins singing songs and looking back at their ancestors who moved to Australia and ran cafes back in the day)…

Thankfully, past me booked a couple of nights in a hotel close to venues and work to cut down a bit on travel time… 😴

My laptop is really struggling this afternoon… perhaps it knows it’s being replaced in a couple of weeks and staging a protest…

Had a stressful day at work, laughed ‘til I couldn’t breathe at David O’Doherty’s show and then we hung out with him for a bit afterwards… now I’m so amped I can’t sleep…

This rainy day has been lovely. Got a cardigan on and watching The Brokenwood Mysteries ☺️

I felt so discombobulated this morning and thought it was Thursday.

While I’m very pleased it’s actually Friday, I’m a bit miffed about missing my semi usual market breakfast and could really have done with an extra day to tick a few more tasks off my to do list…

Now I shall enjoy the delightful cooler weather and curl up in my doona cocoon ☺️

Woke up around 2am feeling so cold that even my toes were frosty.

Tried adding a bathrobe to save turning lights on and digging around for blankets, but that didn’t work, so blankets are now on and waiting to warm up 🥶

I’m so grateful tomorrow is a holiday!!

I’m really enjoying David Mitchell as host of The Outsiders. He’s so not outdoorsy and neither are any of the contestants 😆
