Random indulgences...

I don't know what got into me this morning.  Maybe the sun filtering through the curtains this morning and knowing I had my house to myself for the next couple of weeks....  The day started, hunkering down in bed for a read through the first 10 pages of 8 different Oscar winning scripts (bought home from my film course). Really interesting to see the different writing styles, but also how each script captured your attention so early on.

On rising, I wandered down to the kitchen in my nightie to make a megabrew coffee and have a large slice of coconut/raspberry cake for breakfast.  What the Hell, right? After that, settled down in front of the telly (with coffee and cake) to watch Ingmar Bergmans 'Wild Strawberries' - I recorded it ages ago during the Bergman Film season and hadn't gotten around to watching it.

Feeling suitable artistically satiated, I threw some clothes on and went into the garden with a ladder to scrump plums through my neighbours fence. The damn things are rotting on the tree, but the neighbours don't pick them.  Got all I could from my limited access, and while I had the ladder out, climbed up to refill the birdfeeder in the pear tree (the one that has been sititng, waiting to be refilled for the last 6 months or so).  Did a bit of additional random gardening -  watering, picking courgettes (which are fast approaching marrow status) and tomatoes, which are just starting to come on. Thinks: the apples look like they are almost ready now too...

Now it's 10am. Time for some shopping. This day is shaping up to be a doozy - culminating in evening races and a Blondie concert at the Epsom racecourse this evening. Hoorah for Thursdays!
