Better Sleep Starts Here

Our very own Clinical Psychologist, Andrew Mair,(pictured below) is appearing at the theatre production of "Billy Elliott". The opening was last Saturday and the reviews for Andrew's performance as Billy's father Jackie were very positive to say the least.
Stage Whispers says:
"Billy’s father, Jackie, is played with magnificent strength and power by Andrew Mair. The character must start to change in Act Two and show his sensitive side and start to become a fish out of water when he accompanies Billy to an audition in London. Mair does this spot on, with the humor in the London scenes as well-timed and portrayed as his strength and stubbiness throughout the previous act. Just one ni**le, not with Mair but a piece of staging during his song Deep Into The Ground sung so beautifully by him. Nobody else should move onstage except to leave. Having people walking about talking, even in mime, and the ballet girls running about at the beginning is terribly distracting and makes it almost impossible to concentrate on Mairs strong, powerful tones."

Well done Andrew, today Adelaide theatre, tomorrow Hollywood 😃.

Extreme heat can make you feel unwell and may lead to dangerous heat-related illnesses. Symptoms of heat-related illnesses include dizziness, headaches, nausea, thirst, or vomiting.

To stay safe, drink plenty of water and avoid going outside during the hottest parts of the day. Check in on loved ones regularly, especially older adults and pregnant people. Keep cool indoors with a fan or air-conditioner.

Remember to wear light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing and, if you’re going outside, wear a hat, sunglasses and plenty of SPF 50 or 50+ sunscreen.

Taking these steps can help you and your family stay healthy in the heat.
