Sunday, 19 October 2003 08:14 pmSpent weekend with parents for brother's birthday. Was very very good. Got fed lots; dinner on Friday with family and JEremy and Nora (old family friend and his girlfriend), who turned up randomly and were pressed to stay and eat. Nora has a new job as HEather McCartney's PA, and Jez has been doing some deputising for the marimba player on the Lion King musical in London, so they're both in good shape :)
On Saturday Robert came down and we all lazed about a lot; in the evening we went to see Stones In His Pockets at the Ambassadors Theatre. That was rather wonderful - it's a tragicomic two-hander and we all loved it. Recommended. Am wanting to compare it with Brian Friel's Translations, also set in Ireland and examining interactions between locals and a group of outsiders, and involving tragedy and love story. Could be quite fruitful. Maybe I should do English degree after all.
Sunday, again, lazy. Have nicked lots more craft stuff from cupboards in bedroom, muahaha. Mother bought me new/old clothes from Red Cross second-hand shop - have denim skirt, gorgeous grey trousers and lovely red knitted top. Mmm. Work tomorrow will be nice and warm. Also have box of mostly food goodies from mother, and a mysterious envelope not to be opened till Nov 30th which I guess is an Advent calendar :)
Am so looking forward to getting paid on Friday. Must spend money exceedingly carefully.
