Sunday

Fell asleep whilst listening to the Australian Open in Melbourne at midnight and end up listening to it at 6.30am when clock radio goes off. Stay put. It is not a weekday. No tube to catch a seat and journey in.

At 8.30am contemplate options. Stay in bed and listen to Sportsweek on Radio 5. At 9.30am decide to get up and go for walk. Put towels in washing machine. Go.

10am - listen to Archers whilst out. Get to Wimbledon and browse round Waterstones. The books I choose I cannot purchase until 11am so go to Starbucks for a TWSL. Sit on bench and drink it. People watch whilst listening to the end of the Archers.

Back to Waterstone's make purchases.

Purchases include: Virginia Woolf 'A Room of One's Own'; 'The Waves'; Ian McEwan 'Enduring Love'; Jon McGregor 'Even the Dogs'; Belle de Jour 'Belle's Best Bits'.
