The rest of yesterday

I couldn't be bothered to cook anything too extravagant, so I casseroled some sausages and kidney beans. It was just as unappetizing as it sounds, I can tell you. I ate some of it, then settled down to watch Sunset Boulevard (1950) starring Gloria Swanson, William Holden and Erich von Stroheim. It's a good film, but I soon got tired of it and it started to annoy me. I found that although I was watching it, I hadn't taken in a single thing that had happened. I went and sat at the balcony and waited for the thing to finish. Bed at half past nine.
