“Seeing a man about a dog” was a phrase my grandfather used. I am now almost as old as my grandfather was, and I had not heard that term in the years since. Current, familiar Australian locution, Lo?
Probably not in general use but I’m pretty sure most people would understand it to mean you were doing something you didn’t want to disclose or go into detail about, possibly something shady.
Watched My First Film and enjoying discovering the work of Odessa Young!
That’s so cool! She’s been in quite a few great films already.
Re backstage shows, did you ever see the tv series the Larry Sander’s Show? Very funny behind the scenes comedy about a late night chat show.
Yes! I loved it! I might have to edit this and add it in, great suggestion. So dark but so funny. Great to see you last night Jack.

They Might Be Giants have a track about getting lost going to a show. Having just navigated Melbs it resonates.
I was once trapped in a stairwell on night shift when the handle broke off. No mobile phone in that time period
My ghost still haunts the stairs 😂
Oh my god that sounds terrifying!
It was but on penalty rates 😉
