Birthday weekend here and I have nothing planned. I might pop myself in the sea tomorrow and will definitely hang out with the dog. If she actually wants to hang out with me, of course.

I went to Operation Mincemeat last night and it was perfect. Hilarious, fast, madcap and at least two moments where the whole theatre just sobbed.
