I've come to the conclusion that I'm frightened of leisure time. I have an instinct to be bored and an urge to ensure that I have plenty to keep me occupied. In fact, I'm perfectly capable of vegging out in front of the TV. Sadly, I'm also capable of eating copious quantities of whatever happens to be in the house. Luckily my home contains mainly healthy food, so even if I overeat, the worst that can happen is that my cholesterol improves or something. Perhaps I should make it my life's work to watch all my DVDs and read all my books - I still buy them faster than I use them with my eyes. This may prove a problem, unless all the time I'm spending in the garden is my subconscious telling me to prepare it for some builders to come along and build a video/book library on it to house the spoils of my media-purchasing addiction.

Add to that my habit of buying clothes and the new baby that is my new laptop... and well... my bank balance could do with bolstering.

I have done fairly little today that impressed me, but I have enjoyed myself (at least I think so) and I have achieved a lifelong ambition that I'm not going to mention, since it's fairly childish. All I'll say is that portable computing is a good thing.

Plans for tomorrow - clean the oven and dig the garden (I bet I achieve neither!).
