Today was my monthly post pay-day visit to the bookshop for something to stop my brain curdling on those quiet evenings in.

I came out with:

The Rebel Sell: How the Counter Culture Became Consumer Culture

Best quote from tonight's installment of Top Gear:

Three hours sleep.

I just want it to be Friday already.

I've been sneezing and sniffing all morning. Bloody hayfever.

I had plans to do a bit of a spring clean today but that got scuppered by my spur of the moment decision to have a go at making my first Thai red curry for lunch. It came out rather well and I scoffed the lot.
