My weekend

On Saturday I went the the Farmers' Market again. I'm trying to get along every week and buy something then I'll be forced to eat whatever vegetables I buy and, with any luck, I might be able to stave off the scurvy. I bought a large pumpkin which I plan to make into a Jack-o-Lantern. I've never done it before but I've seen enough American TV to have a fair idea of what it's supposed to look like!

Saturday arvo a futon was delivered. I've really been wanting a lounge for a while and eventually got around to buying one through the uni's classifieds website (I've been buying lots of things through the classifieds but no jousting sticks yet). I'm pretty happy with it because, unlike some sofas, it's long enough for me to stretch right out on when I'm reading or watching TV and if anyone comes to visit it can fold out into a double bed. I think my apartment is fully furnished now!

Saturday night I went to see Tom Stoppard's Arcadia with HPS folks. The script was fantastic (I'd never seen or read Stoppard before) the acting very good and the English accents decent (on the whole, one minor character was terrible and the others' accents did break down a bit when excited). I really enjoyed it. I'm already planning to go see their next production, Macbeth, with some other friends.
