That’s a default feature of Tessitura ticketing unfortunately. It does it to free up space in the platform for active users. Kinda sucks, but built in.

Hope you are able to get tickets.

White Lotus season 3 pleased me and seeing others get antsy and whiny about it only pleases more. True misanthrope, I guess?

the guests of the White Lotus hotels would be much better off by simply coming to The Museum of English Rural Life

The Cat With The Pearl Earring.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

Do you like scented candles? I seem to be building up a cupboard of them (a go to gift, it seems).

And if you do, why? And do you turn off the lights when you use them?
