Not sure if this counts for #MuralMonday

Things I've Loved/Disliked
Been to a few plays and gigs since we got back and have to say it's hard to narrow down to my favourite. I had such a great time at the Squid Games Experience with friends that I want to go back and do it with the kids for my birthday. A Model Murder was excellent and I've just discovered it was written by the actress who did Prima Facie when we saw it, Melanie Tait.. She was brilliant and I had no idea she was the understudy. I also saw Hamlet Camp, and Ewen Leslie performed an excellent poem on living above and working in a bookshop in Newtown. Having worked in a bookshop and loving literature, it hit all the marks and was so funny and clever. Wonderful stuff!
 I guess what I'm saying is I'm loving January in Sydney with the festival and the holiday feeling, even if the summer weather hasn't been quite so summery.

Sharing this Lawrence song which describes pretty much describes the female experience...and should change! I saw them on Thursday night at the suggestion of a friend (who I've never actually met!) and decided to go. Another friend saw the chat on SM and got herself a ticket too...we both loved them.

Things I need to Improve I really need to organise my time better. I've been a bit MIA at work of late so am now, already, behind. Not ideal for the first month of the year.

Things I've Accomplished Been managing an abundance of doctors appointments for one of the kids before school goes back. Her retainer broke so we had to throw in an emergency visit to the orthodontist (who is 40 mins form us - don't ask, and we only just saw the week before). We've managed to get the return visit on the last day of the holidays so I'm hoping that's all fine and sorted and school has minimal interruption.

Things I've Noticed Twitter is pretty much impossible to use. Without the hashtags you can't search anything, and when I used to go to the trending, I'd get 8 or 10 topics relevant to me, and now I get 4 and they all seem to be on US politics, which frankly, the rest of the world is pretty disinterested in these days. I will wait until the F1 season starts and if it doesn't improve, I may as well ditch. Facebook is little better, I assumed everyone was just off it but I've discovered that I just don't see what my friends post. No idea why, It's there, it just doesn't come into my feed when I scroll...so again, if it's useless I may as well stop wasting time on this too...basically what I've noticed is Social Media is becoming pretty unsocial. 

The photos were from around Luna Park going to and from the Squid Games. Note also the bridge reflection in this shot left.

  2. I only use Twitter to post, I might scroll a few minutes, but other than that, I don't attempt to use it. I use Instagram for so much more. Have a great week! https://encounterswiththedavisfamily.blogspot.com/2025/01/share-four-somethings-january-2025.html

  3. I really liked the Ferris wheel picture taken against the cloudy background. I gave up on Twitter months ago. I ditched Instagram a couple of years ago. Enjoy your summer.

  4. Twitter and Facebook ceased to have any use for me ages ago, and now they are being manipulated by their owners for political (USA) reasons. I’m amazed that anyone wastes any more time with them.
