Netflix has announced a 'Bridgerton experience' in Bowral in the Southern Highlands next week from Thursday to Wednesday.
There are a few organised events that I can see so far. The significant ones are a garden party and an early-screening of the first episode.
It also seems rather disorganised.
It was announced a couple of weeks ago, and they left almost no time for people to organise anything - meet-ups, tea parties, book clubs, anything! It'll be a bunch of people wandering around the town at best. At best.
At worst?
Bowral - the entire Southern Highlands, in fact, is currently experiencing flooding after heavy rain on the weekend; it should subside in the next week and there is no prediction of further 'rain bombs' (we've been getting entirely too many of those), but it will not be the sunny, beautiful experience that was advertised in all the pics and the promos. It will be damp and wet and likely fairly muddy and miserable.
I am still contemplating going, because I can work from just about anywhere. A nice room in a comfortable space, warm and secluded and close to town. And in the absence of overseas trips until 2025 (at least), I am thinking some local travel would be great.
I can get somewhere nice to stay from Sunday through to Wednesday. The friend whom I asked who I know is interested in Bridgerton is unable to leave Sydney at that time - her daughter is getting her tonsils out and needs care during that time. She's busy, I'm busy, plenty of people are going to be busy - it's the middle of the 'Easter' holidays. Although since school holidays miss Easter this year, I guess it's the 'April' holidays.
I do need to confirm with the sister that it's okay if I vanish off for a few days. There's a bit of travel this autumn: to Canberra in May for work, and I booked a ticket to go see Arsenal women play in Melbourne...
IDK. I'm feeling impossibly exhausted right now. Just tired. Really really tired. More on that in a health post.
