It's Friday! Woo! You know the best bit about this particular Friday? It's a long weekend! That's right, I get Monday to do whatever I want because it's Labour Day.
As it appears to be planning to rain, I'm thinking it's just crying out to be a day curled up with tea and a book. Mum and I are seriously considering a roast, preferably beef, because what else can you want on a rainy lazy day?
I'm also seriously considering trying this out: http://smittenkitchen.com/2010/08/everyday-chocolate-cake/
Looks yummy, oui? And it is blueberry season, so I could try out the fresh berry idea. Win!
In other food-related things (seriously, when did this journal become 9 parts food, 1 part babble and 1 part fandom?), it's Friday so I'm having supper at the local place of yum. I went for the burger last week and it was amazing. Best burger I've ever eaten. What shall I go for this week?
And tomorrow we're celebrating my aunt's birthday by taking her out for Thai food. I haven't had Thai since February and it's possibly my favourite thing, so this is a source of much excitement for me.
In non-food items, I need to get Mum caught up on Doctor Who before tomorrow evening. Also, Torchwood and the Great British Bake-off. In addition, I have Page Eight to watch because Bill Nighy is awesome. And the Tudors is stupidly addictive for being terrible. So that's lots of TV to watch.
Book-wise, I'm nearly finished with Hospital Sketches by Louise May Alcott and I have either Perdito Street Station (Mieville) or Darkfire (the second Matthew Shardlake mystery) queued on my Kindle. I'll have to see how I feel on which I do first. I'm also halfway through The Children of Green Knowe by Lucy M. Boston and I've got a couple of Diane Wynne Jones (sp?) books on my coffee table to read first.
My non-fiction read is Medieval Law in Context. Shut up! It's dead interesting, honestly, all about how the legal system grew and became established and how law as a profession evolved.
OK, OK, my non-fiction reads are weird. I've got a book on the Templars in Britain to read next :-) Or possibly a history of the Thames. And I've got my eye on a book about The Black Death...
