Rudi and I started off our weekend well with a surprising text from friends who were home and wondering if we wanted to see a film. We watched Echoes in the Canyon, a documentary by and starring Jakob Dylan about the early days of the music scene in Laurel Canyon in L.A., and then went out for drinks to catch up. It was a nice way to begin the weekend, and I hope it will continue pleasantly and include some of the following:

• Swimming.
• Watching the Tour de France and knitting. (More details on the latter tomorrow.)
• Following the World Cup final. I caught some of the opening round matches, so I think it might be okay if I watch Sunday’s, but if they start doing poorly, clearly I’ll have to abort the plan.
• Working on some job hunt-related things.
• Baking.
• Doing laundry.
• Planting beans and harvesting mint in the garden.
• Drinking home-brewed iced tea (Our current flavor is Hibiscus Raspberry Currant) in Arnold Palmers and maybe making daiquiris.
• Dancing to upbeat music. (I don’t do this often enough.)
• Phoning a couple friends to mark major life events.

How about you? What do you hope your weekend will hold?
