The weather today is absolutely rotten and, waking up incredibly late, it seems like the afternoon can more or less be written off from the get-go. Browsing around Twitter brings to my attention the fact that today's Guardian comes with a free copy of the classic spoof movie Airplane! - a movie I've seen many times, so many times in fact that I've never bothered buying it – so I make plans to at least venture as far as Tesco. I head out into the drizzle at around lunchtime, the bottoms of my new jeans dragging under my trainers. I treat myself to a scotch egg to go with my newspaper and return to the flat with no intention of leaving again today. Is this how I would live every day if I were left to my own devices? It doesn't bear thinking about.
I while away the afternoon fiddling with the computer and watching a couple of films – including rewatching Wall-E as I had been convinced that the Habanera, the song we couldn't remember last night, was in it. It's not. I have a little dinner and stick Airplane! On the DVD player, briefly wondering to myself how many other lonely Guardian readers were doing the same thing with their evenings. The weather remains so crappy outside that I refrain even from venturing out for a comforting couple of cans or bottle of wine, thus making tonight my first sober Saturday in quite some time. It is nice, though, and after watching an entertaining Dara O Briain stand-up show on Comedy Central I wander, lonesome as a cloud, to bed.
