A cold beer, birdsong and the hum of an old laptop. Things are good.
My local supermarket has 'American week'. this means (among other things) decadent yogurt with flavors like toffee/popcorn, cranberry/chocolate, and chocolate muffin. I bet you Americans eat that kind of stuff all the time. Heh.
I bought some.
I also ordered a lot of books (a fool and his money etc.) from an online bookshop. To wit:
The Pocket Muse (a book of advice and prompts for fiction writers).
On Writing Horror - A Handbook by the Horror Writers Association(I've never owned a book about fiction-writing. This seems like the way to go, even if I don't write horror. I LIKE horror).
Teatro Grottesco by Thomas Ligotti (I've read it, but never really owned it).
Bumper Crop by Joe R. Lansdale (A collection of short stories by an amazing storyteller. Horror, suspense and so on).
The Metamorphosis & Other Stories by Franz Kafka (I've read a good deal of Kafka. Nowhere near enough though).
