It's been ages since I've attend a craft fair. Seeing as I could get senior price tickets $24.72, I decided I would go.
Bought takeaway at the Chinese/Malay behind Town Hall Woollies - before heading home.

On Sunday, we have Macau Takeaway for dinner before dropping Fiona back to her Campbell Street home.

Sat 11 Jul 2026, Morena Dinner and Hair musical at Theatre Royal
Poppy & Luka were dropped off for minding.

Pre-dinner theatre menu:
Market Cerviche, Slow cooked beef cheeks with cauliflower puree, dark chocolate parfait with rice puffs and capsicum sweet chilli sauce.
Warnings of frontal nudity and other x-rated stuff. Lucky we were seated up the back and not right in front, otherwise we would have got an eye full.
Memories of the 70s, hippy fashion etc.
After the show we went to Messina for ice cream. Had Macadamia praline in a cone.
