This is it. This has to be one of those days that for the next two weeks i look back on as being a template for how i want all days to be. It's warmer than i'd like it to be, but it does make for a nice scene outside my window.
But how would you spend this day of all days? Would you lock yourself away to watch hour upon hour of daytime television and (sigh) perhaps a midday movie starring Meredith Baxter Birney or (dare i even hope) Elizabeth Montgomery? Would you catch a train to the city and watch the people going about their business... the business that you are not going about? Would you go to the cinema and see a movie (and eat the requisite tub of popcorn the size of your head) by yourself, or would you go to a pretty place to go for a long walk listening to a lecture on Sociology?
Oh the possibility. Oh the delight!
It's my last day off, and I want to do it right!
That's a poem i like to call 'A Day Full Of Potential'.
Walk to the Dendy in Newtown whilst listening to lecture, then catch An Education (and don't forget to tell me how good it is, it's currently sitting high on the wish list). Browse in Berkelouw or Pentimento for a little while, and buy a gelato on the walk home. Then sit on the verandah and see how many people you can get to say hello back.
ReplyDeleteAlternatively you could spend an afternoon making some interesting sociological observations at the M'ville TAB.
