Saturday 9

• Dan: stayed up late watching classic movie musicals – was outraged by the sexist/classist plot (and the outcome) of My Fair Lady
• Hugh and Dan: hauled out all the copies of Deltora Quest they could find, then went through the pile together to put it in order while attempting to recall as much of the plot of the series as they could. Much hilarity ensued.
• Hugh: started reading the first Deltora Quest novel: got halfway through
• Dan: started re-watching the Deltora Quest anime of the first series

Sunday 10 – Hugh’s birthday

• Hugh: supervised Eric making him Eggs Benedict for his birthday breakfast, since he is the only person in the household with a consistent success rate

Monday 11

• Dan: no singing
• Hugh: finished the first Deltora Quest book, started the second

Tuesday 12

• Dan: finished watching the anime of the first series and reading the second series, is now reading the third series of Deltora Quest and engaging in trenchant literary criticism (primarily the miscalibrated foreshadowing and the lack of narrative tension)

Thursday 14

Friday 15
