It's not often I feel happy about that, but with the recent frenetic pace, I'm quite happy to know that I can spend some time at home. I know there's a lunch date sometime. I have some accounts work to do. I have some follow up from the empathy project. These things can all be done at home. That feels really good!
2. Getting dressed and ready for today's job. I didn't even have to get dressed if I didn't want to. I didn't have to shower. Didn't do my hair and applied no makeup. I picked up a pair of holey jeans and a stinky t-shirt from the laundry pile. Today I was playing a woman suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. She is currently homeless. It was a tough gig, but the wardrobe requirements were a dream.
3. Flying on a plane with no audio visual distractions. Usually I love the inflight entertainment, especially on longer flights. Flying back from Brisbane last night there was not a screen anywhere to be seen. I took the opportunity to put in some quality reading time. I'm now 100 pages from the end of "Freedom" by Jonathan Franzen. I'm loving it! I did plug my ipod in and enjoyed the soundtrack to the Almodovar film "Hable Con Ella" (Talk to her). It's gorgeous and perfect in the background.
4. Surprising dining experiences in regional Australia. I've been out to Traralgon a couple of times in the last couple of weeks, pulling into the Century Inn, right on the highway. I sighed the first time I pulled, not expecting very much, but I was soon happily surprised. The food in the restaurant is sensational! I enjoyed a rib fillet steak with lyonnaise potatoes, baby leeks and red wine jus and a rocket, pear and parmesan salad on the side. Beautifully cooked and bursting with flavour.
5. Lipstick pink hire cars. Everyone looked at the car as I zipped along the road. It was fun, but I don't think I'd buy that colour. Resale would be hard, but it would be visible in the parking lot.
