Today is my day for getting round to stuff it has taken me years to do.
About thirty years ago I read The Berlin Stories (Think "Cabaret" - the musical was based on one of the stories). They contain a heavily fictionalised account of the author's life in Berlin, and having read them I thought it was a shame he did not write a true autobiography, as that would be more interesting.
What I did not know was that about ten years earlier he had written his autobiography which included a true account of his time in Berlin. I did not find this out until just over 25 years later, and only then thanks to Dr Who (the actor playing the Doctor also stared in a film version of the book and it was mentioned on a Dr Who website). I decided to buy the book. And today I just ordered a copy, nearly five years after first deciding to buy a copy.
That is me - never put off 'till tomorrow what you can leave for a few years!
