Dear Diary, toys, sweets, movies, books

• New mattress has arrived! Mattress shopping apparently involves having a bunch of conversations about products while lying down - I see the value but felt a bit uncomfortable at times.
• Have been given a vast quantity of gulab jamun - people need to come over and help eat them.
• Saw Inception, loved it.
• Read My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor. An account of an aneurysm and subsequent recovery from the perspective of a brain scientist. Fascinating and inspiring insight into how the brain works and what bits are 'us' and what bits are 'the machine.' Glad I read it, bits of the book keep popping up as I integrate it with my world view. She did a TED talk as well.

Winter? What winter?
