Looking Out To Sea

Heh, I’ve got an outrageously busy week coming up. I’ll be dead by midweek and zombified for the rest of it.

Monday night we’re going to Cafe Scientifique. That was the plan. Then we decided we really wanted to see Antionio Forcione again, with his quartet this time. So after Cafe Sci we’ll be heading straight over to the Assembly Rooms for that show. Then I noticed that the Filmhouse are showing Yojimbo as part of their Akira Kurosawa season at 6pm. And Cafe Sci takes place in the Filmhouse bar, so it’s not like we’ll have to rush out of one to the other… so we’re seeing that as well.

In theory the days from Tuesday to Thursday are free, but I’ve committed myself to baking on some of those days for events later in the week.

Friday is another stupidly busy day. At lunch-time there’s a work barbeque at The Sheep Heid Inn, with genuine sink-a-ship skittling balls. Should be fun. In the early evening Helen’s work are also having a barbie (two in one day is just tempting fate I think) which I’m going to. By this point I will be ready to explode.

But to make matters worse we’ll be going on to Martin’s place for a flatcooling party there. The next day, at a bright ‘n breezy 11am, we’ll be joining Emily for an all-day Lord of the Rings marathon. I presume it will be the extended versions — what would be the point otherwise? Anyway, I said I’d bring some bread along to sustain us. (I know, it should be lembas, but the damned elves have the kept the recipe a secret! I did find this recipe — do you think I should try it or will that be too nerdy?) I haven’t decided what to make yet, but I’ll need to part-bake it some time this week so that I actually have enough time on Saturday morning. (Also, I envisage getting up at the last minute.)
