He’s working hard for my money. And I am hardly working.
Summer
Hot, sunny weather in August (which you must leave London to see I am told).

I would not like to compare WICKED to any other passing fad, but for a long time I tried to avoid expectation for this show until I could make my own (unbiased) assessment. It’s finally here. I might be the last person on Earth to see it, but at least I am no longer the only person who hasn’t.
Doing My Head In
Driving me crazy, figuratively of course. (That screaming kid is doing my head in.)
One-off
Not recurring, outside occurrence.
Mental
Crazy, nutters, insane. (That humming noise is driving me mental!)
Yonks
A really long time, can be utilised interchangeably with ages, years, eras, etc. (I have had these shoes for yonks.)

Ladder
verb, run. To ladder one’s tights is to somehow cause a run in those tights.

Pool float, not to be confused with a pool floater. That would be something else entirely.

It could be loss or it could just be the time of year that has left with me a desire for a cool, dimly lit auditorium. And to be in a group of sweaty, exhausted, delirious, kids. Laughing and counting. Creating.
Fruity
Erotically stimulating. (Incorrect use of the word ‘fruity’ can cause embarassment.)

The question is the point. I think. I hope. And something about not taking everything so seriously…
Faffing About
Doing nothing productive.

Singapore Airlines, business class? Yes. Thank you, I will have a main course of Singapore and a side of Taiping, Malaysia. With sun, humidity, and rain on the side. Oh, Singapore already comes with humidity? Ok, well, you can leave the extra off then.
