November 4, 2003

Dreamed of acting in a swashbuckling adventure in which I played a comic relief character who couldn't handle a sword; waking up and finding myself in a car which Father had driven to a beach near Sackville; entering a store near where we lived for a year in Glasgow (in the Burnside district of Rutherglen) and collecting Father's TV licence fee refurnd in cash (all small change); Tom Brown's friend Harry East (now in the 20th century) having to deal with his fiancee's homicidal ex-boyfriend (I was thinking of Ed Harris in The Human Stain and of crazy brother Jermey Sisto in Six Feet Under); mixing the dry ingredients for a huge cake.

I've decided to visit London in March.  I booked a reservation at the Goodenough College.

Went to the Wychwood library and borrowed Freddy the Detective (from the Freddy the Pig series).

Dinner was spaghetti.

Quite a few people were late for the opera rehearsal. (But all the sopranos seemed to be on time.)

Finished Tom Brown's School Days.  The second half, all about the improvement of Tom's character, was rather slow.
