What were they thinking? I never saw this on stage, did you?

I saw Cats on stage once, many years ago, and enjoyed it. I already knew and loved the poems, and the dancers were not pretending to be cats, but merely inspired by them. Much better.

Yes, I've heard people say they really like stage show. In the film, sometimes parts of bodies cats, sometimes not, so weird effort, inconsistent. But hey, put it on if you want to get rid of guests.

Guests? I remember the before times, when guests were a thing!

I'm officially sad. The last person in my house was a plumber. Instacart handed me groceries yesterday, though! I'm thinking maybe putting my house up for sale to tempt a realtor to drop by.

I had a plumber round yesterday, too. However, despite high infection rates, there are very few restrictions, so things feel dangerously normal, even though they're not.

Perfectly put, Cecily. Things aren't normal, that's going to take a long time. "Those Were The Days, My Friend, We Thought They'd Never End, We'd Sing and Dance Forever and a Day..." as the song goes. But they did.
