In my last post I mentioned that I was going to have a free day on Saturday. I hoped that it would provide something blogworthy.

Is sleep blogworthy?

How about spending most of the day in bed holding a book while asleep and occasionally waking up to read half a page or so before falling asleep again? Not that the book was boring: it was Where did it all go right? by Andrew Collins, a memoir of growing up in the 70s in Northampton. I think he is about 15 years older than me, so there were many things I don't recall, but others that I could really identify with. One aspect of the book I really enjoyed were the references to the Molesworth books. Anyone here remember them? Do comment appropriately if so. Hello Trees, Hello Flowers, Hello Bloggers.

One of the things about moving away from somewhere familiar to somewhere strange, is that you don't know the reputation of the various take-aways. In our old city, we knew pretty much which ones were good and had favourite places to go for Chinese, Indian, Fish and Chips etc. Having moved and gone onto a lower budget, we've dawdled in deciding on our favourites. Last night we got some chinese takeaway and it was pretty horrible. Some more work needed in that regard.

It was nice to spend an evening with just the two of us sitting and watching some quality TV (an old episode of Morse which Mr F had videoed earlier in the week).
