I've been home four days and I'm still tired. How on earth do those business people who cross the international dateline several times a month handle it? Oh, wait, I know - they fly first class!
My first stop in the States was Los Angeles. Within one hour of arriving in Hollywood, where I was staying at the fabulously located bed and breakfast Hollywood Celebrity Hotel, I had a fall. Oh, no... Can I blame my poor eyesight? Yes, I definitely will. Even though the step had a yellow strip across it, I still came a cropper. Hands and knees grazed. Ankles slightly sprained. Big toe bruised terribly.
But I soldiered on -
That very day was the premier for the movie "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood". Still jet-lagged, I staggered to Hollywood Boulevard to watch the stars arrive. Their cars stopped right opposite me. I saw Chris Hemsworth, Brad Pitt, Leonardo Di Caprio, Britney Spears, Andy Serkis, New Zealand stunt actress Zoey whatshername, Margot Robbie, and a host of other young stars I hadn't a clue about. I felt so over-the-hill becuse in my youth I knew and adored every Hollywood star.

Some people had waited two days to see the street action. Most of the celebrities came over to where I was standing, and I'd only been there for two hours. It was fun...
