Saturday

A delightful lie-in. Not sure what eventually woke me: the sound of dad's car coming back from getting the morning paper or the sound of dad ranting and raving about the fact that everybody was still in bed at 9am. Both scenarios are equally wonderful really, when you think about it.

Surfaced and eventually made it downstairs for a peruse of the paper and a freshly brewed espresso. Sak and I made American style pancakes with crispy bacon and maple syrup (reminded me of fun musketeer times!). Spent the rest of the morning reading the paper by the fire.

This afternoon we watched Idris Alba in 'Beasts Of No Nation'. Beautifully shot but gruelling, as expected.

Sak and I made a curry for dinner and now I'm back by the fire, brewdog in hand.

I want to stay here forever. Oh, Mum's got Strictly on. I think I've changed my mind.
