Twice today, from regular, our better regular, customers. "How are you?" they ask, and then look at me meaningfully. "Things OK?" Twice.

Some clever staging, choreography, a light theatre night out. The audience quite enjoyed it, to judge by the laughter and applause, and to be fair it wasn't your typical night at the theatre.
It did remind me, or confirm actually, a suspicion I had that I might be quite fond of latex tights on fit bodies. But I suspected that already.
