- The house to oneself
- Engagements to blow off, ideally with no excuse at all bar "I'm sorry, I don't care for it tonight"
- Booze
- Nick Drake to play on the stereo
- A stereo to play Nick Drake on
- A hot bath standing by with a glass of wine and a book on the side
- A copy of any of the three most beautifully written books in the world (by which I mean E.M Forster's Maurice, F.Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby or Graham Greene's The End of the Affair)
- The ability to consume all of the above simultaneously while maintaining a glass in each hand
"If I didn't care for fun and such, I'd probably amount to much. But I shall stay the way I am, because I do not give a damn." (Dorothy Parker)
