abendgules | I love birthdays

...lazy days with my sweetie, who started the weekend right by asking what I'd like to do on my birthday. Lucky for him I had a list. :-)

- errands (cat food, new contacts from the Specsavers-I'm-never-visiting-again-ever)
- trip to Holborn station to hit Cornelissen's
- return via Patisserie Valerie for lunch, and take-home cake
- go home on bus, because Central line is once more a sweaty sardine tin. Spotted one of the new Boris-buses, on route 38 (Victoria to North London), presumeably a route with high visibility across the tourist centres.
- laze with a book on the sofa
- eat said cake and tea before dinner, just like you're not supposed to
- dinner of curry and poppadums courtesy of sweetie who has mastered poppadums at home. He's awesome.
- continued laziness surfing for new 12th and 13th c manuscript resources, listening to Guy Fawkes firecrackers. The whole of October and November is blighted by firecrackers, but on the weekend closest to Nov 5th I'll forgive.

Tomorrow: scribing, running, more scribing. Can't wait.
