This morning my friend Liz reminded me, via the power of Facebook, of a film I saw for the first time many years ago and fell in love with – Alice’s Restaurant. I’ve seen it several times over the years and enjoyed it every single time. And Amazon only want £2.98 for it, so I reckon I’m going to have to invest in a copy. Something to add to my order when I next buy something from them.

I really need to expand my current DVD collection to include more in the way of older films that I particularly enjoy. I already have Passport to Pimlico, which is just joyful. If you’ve never seen it you really owe it to yourself to track down a copy, and don’t let the fact that it’s in black and white put you off. What other films should I add to my list?

Today I finally went back to work, hopefully permanently. I was given a nice simple task to ease me back into the swing of things, which was exactly what I needed. It felt good to take another step back towards a normal life.

After work I met my friend Paul for a nice meal before heading home, feeling surprisingly tired. This working for a living lark really takes it out of you.

After much to-ing and fro-ing I’m pretty much moved in to my new flat. There are still one or two small items plus my motorbike to sort out and then there’s some putting away of stuff at the new place to do, but I’m more or less there. I shall be popping back to the old place on Sunday to finish cleaning and tidying, and then that’s basically it.

I have to say that it feels pretty good. I’m looking forward to getting back to work on Monday and, therefore, back to some semblance of a normal life.
