Best Indoor Pools, Last Minute Halloween & Buffet Breakfasts to Indulge • TOT: HOT OR NOT

Hi there Reader

Are you gearing up for Halloween and the last weekend before the silly season starts?

This week I’m excited to be going on a date night to experience Hour of the Wolf at the Malthouse Theatre, visiting the new BBC Earth Experience and checking into the Quincy Hotel Melbourne for a mini staycation/quarterly review session. Hello room service, pool and strategic planning!

Then it’s back at my desk, going all in for Christmas. Christmas celebrations seem to be happening earlier and earlier these days!

If you’re already in the festive spirit check out what we’ve already written about LEGO Christmas sets, the Christmas Lights Festival in Geelong, Where to Buy Christmas Trees in Melbourne and where to find the best Christmas hampers!
