I vote early. Can’t cope well with crowds anymore, more likely to fall these days, as well. Witness the cast on my broken arm! So no democracy sausage. If I was near one, I’d buy it to support the school or whatever venue. But I don’t miss it.
I use subtitles all the time, as I’m getting hard of hearing. Starting the process of getting hearing aids, whether I like it or not. Have avoided them so far – too fiddly, and “I can manage.” Geriatrician pointed out that poor hearing is the first step on the road to dementia. So, reluctantly, I’m doing it. As to needing subtitles for Aussie accents, no, never needed them for that.
Not for me, although a holiday sounds tempting. Family member did that, ended up with an infection. She spent the “holiday” in bed, sick as a dog, while her spouse enjoyed the holiday.
