Well and truly old enough to know better, but I don’t let that stop me.

A night out seeing Lorde escalated, I arrived home at 6.30 this morning. 🙄
Got 28k steps in whilst dancing though, so I’ll take that.

The face of a man who’s waiting for the supermarket to open before he can do his mums shop and then drive in the opposite direction to work to drop it off. 🙄

I’ve left Mumbai behind after an incredibly tiring but amazing week.
Landed in Manchester and I’m in my uber and due home at 9.30… I’ve missed my boy more than he’ll never know and can’t wait for cuddles!

Heading out to a fancy Mumbai restaurant this evening, just waiting on my workmates to get their acts together and we can leave the hotel.

I’ll take this over Manchester’s current temperatures any day.

Could have got tickets for the Wicked double feature the day before For Good comes out, but Will wouldn’t be able to sit still for that long. 🙄
Instead, I’ve got 10am tickets for the Friday, which I feel is a good use of a days holiday.

Ah, Halloween.
It’s almost time… for me to drop the blinds and ignore the door every time it knocks this evening, except for when my takeaway arrives.
That could prove to be tricky later.

Off out to see Haim this evening.
I’m knackered and can’t really be arsed.
It’ll be good though, I’m sure.

I’ve only got walk from the front door to end of the path and into the car (where my ☂️ is), and I fear I may get washed away.

Had to avoid coming on here at the end of last week to avoid Traitors spoilers, then had a weekend away in Derbyshire for continued birthday celebrations… I’m really dragging it out.
Anyway, I’m back, morning! 👋🏼

I’m off for drinks and food before heading to the theatre.
I’m hoping this is going to make me laugh, but I think it may also make me cry a little.

We were home slightly earlier than I expected last night so caught up on The Traitors before bed.
It was a good episode.
Hopefully we’ll manage the same again tonight when home from the theatre.
Just got to keep that candle going.

Just wandering around Castlefield, waiting for Will, before we head to see MARINA ABRAMOVIĆ: BALKAN EROTIC EPIC.
It’s my early birthday gift to him, and I’ve no idea what I’m letting myself in for:
18+ only.
This production contains full nudity and graphic sexual scenes, including simulated acts.

Just strolled around Albert Sq. it’s very close to fencing coming down and reopening.
It’s looking really good.
The grapevine tells me that the scaffolding won’t be down from the Town Hall until next year, but the sq. will open next week ready for the Christmas Markets install the week after.

It’s bastard freezing (officially recognised measure of temperature) in Manchester today.
I’ve been putting off new coat shopping, but I feel today’s the day I’m going to have to invest.

Just walked into the bedroom to find Will looking particularly lovely as he gets ready for work.
Me: “Have you got a hot date?”
W: “Yes, with you. We’re going out and I’m not coming home after work.”
I’d forgotten that part of the plan. 😬

The day is barely underway and I’ve already got FOMO.
We’re out tonight, I don’t think I’ll get to watch Traitors.
We’re out again tomorrow night, again don’t think we’ll catch up.
We’re then away for the weekend.
I stand zero chance of avoiding spoilers, don’t I?

Morning.
Today is underway, and I’m not 100% sure I’m ready for it.
I’ve left my 👓 in the bedroom so can’t guarantee no typos, and I won’t go and get them because I’ll disturb Will.
I’ll just hold my phone at a distance for a while and hope for the best.

I’m home from London.
Small matter of a dog walk to deal with and then I’m changing into my PJ’s.
I reckon I could be asleep before I’ve finished eating my dinner.
