I have made a mental note not to cut my hair as soon as I wake up in the morning. I was half way through doing just that this morning, not fully awake, when I realised that it was impossible to tell which bits of hair were still long and which were just standing on end because they’d been slept on all night. I ended up trimming off more and more until I’d taken off more than I wanted. Still, it looks smartish and it’ll not be so soon that I have to do it again.
The afternoon throwing-out session started an hour late, and not everyone joined in, but those of us who did managed to fill two huge bins and build an enormous pile of unwanted and unneeded kit around all the sides of one of them. I deflated the beachball globe I use to work out where I’m going on press trips, and added it to my dictionaries and power leads in the bottom of a big orange crate. I’m determined to take the minimum with me. I’ve accumulated four and a half years of (useful) junk on, under and in my desk, and this is the opportunity to cleanse myself.
I almost went to Manto with Mark and Jason. There was a press do there, so lots of free drink and probably some nibbles, but I didn’t want the Old Compton Street door-types picking through my bag and demanding to look in the metal flight case I was carrying.
So, I caught the train back to Chelmsford and went to the gym for a bit, then came home for some dinner and unpacked the flight case, inside of which was an Internet phone.
I was very impressed that Windows recognised what it was as soon as I plugged it in and never asked for any software to run it. I logged on to Callserve, bought
