Today is the second day I have been off work sick and I am not enjoying it. However, I have alleviated the boredom with the following:
FOOD: A very satisfying and chillied-up version of Tortilla Soup similar to this one.
FILMS: Whale Rider, a truly superb NZ movie about the continuance of Maori traditions in a changing world and The Man Who Sued God, a lightweight but funny vehicle for Billy Connolly.
BOOKS: For work, I'm reading First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently which is highly informative and a significant cut above most 'business and management' books. For pleasure, if that is the right word, I'm reading Fast Food Nation: What the All-American Meal is Doing to the World, a gift from SWMBO's cousin who works in healthcare in the States. Although I have eaten a fair amount of fast food in the past, I'm less inclined to do so in the future having read three-quarters of this engrossing and disturbing book.
MUSIC: Dido's Life For Rent - soaringly simply and clearly complex, it's is superb listening.
