Met up with a friend in Notting Hill for the Grand National and a meal (it started out as being supposed to be brunch, but can it really be brunch at 5pm?) – we wandered around a bit and ended up playing Uno in a gelato shop. Totally revitalising

Really enjoying revisiting Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Cleared up a couple more to-do items while watching a few episodes of Season 3.

… conducting Les Noces, Symphonies of Wind Instruments and Symphony of Psalms, from the CD set I bought yesterday – amazing. Also transcribed a bunch of notes I made on the Walt Whitman prose works I’ve been reading, napped and played through two levels of Lego Indiana Jones. And the evening’s not done yet! Now, which CD to listen to while I read the next chapter of the Twyla Tharp book?

Broke out Lego Star Wars today, and I’m pleased to find it’s every bit as fun as the Lego Indiana Jones.

Also had a massage to counter the tension headache, which has been quite horrific this week, baked oatmeal scones again, did a bit of work on djeli’s new hat (I’ve passed the turn-up and am on to the hat proper now!) and received the first part of my Amazon order – Wii Fit Plus (which obviously I can’t use until the sprained ankle is sorted out) and 3 Beatles albums – Magical Mystery Tour, Revolver and A Hard Day’s Night – woo! Also had a bash at one of my new Wii games – Lego Indiana Jones – which looks like a heap of fun. A lovely, relaxing day – can’t remember the last time I had one of those!

After having sprained my ankle badly on Tuesday and struggling through the rest of the week, I took today off and slept in, then spent most of what was left watching movies and playing computer games (The Settlers, first on my iPod, then on the computer after the iPod ran out of power)

Having spent all day battling sleep, updating emails and killing off some more of my read/review list in the gaps, not to mention having gone from being boiled alive when I got into the office (our heating is a little erratic) to being chilled to the bone by the time I got home, I was just ready for Monday’s night of TV: The Gadget Show, followed by Joss Whedon’s new offering, Dollhouse – first rate relaxation.

A wonderful massage, a couple of movies, spaghetti bolognese and a bit of a nap. Mmmmm.
