Ever since I was a kid, Friday afternoon's have been my favourite time of the week. Back then, it was the end of the school week. Now, it's the end of the work week. But this prelude to the weekend just gets better and better. If you're lacking the motivation to party after another long week in the galleys, subscribe to my Friday afternoon recipe:
1. Pistachio nuts
2. Cold beer
3. Any Rolling Stones album (I'd also throw in Tommy by The Who)
Number three should be played so freaking loud that your neighbour has every right to complain. The music will force you to dance like the great man (Jagger) and worse. I like to follow a specific cycle. I'll eat a handful of pistachios before moving onto the beer, all the while sitting on the kitchen stool. Before my body can sit still no longer, I'll leave the beer and nuts and run around the house, into the courtyard, out to the backyard and finish next to the stereo, jumping and jiving, dancing and twirling and playing every instrument ever created (including wobble board) along the way. It's Jagger meets [Billy] Elliott meets Townshend meets Elton John in a duck suit. Wow-wee!
