Now I know what four nights of sleep deprivation, madness at work an itchy eye and five pints of pale ale on an empty stomach will do for you.

It means that when you do go to bed at about 1.30am, you don't wake up again until about 2pm (that's not entirely true; I left my radio alarm on by accident and was awakened briefly at 8.30 by Brian Matthews' '60s show on Radio 2, but I dozed off again after three or four tracks.

The upshot is that today hasn't really happened. I went out for a late lunch, bought milk and coffee, and came back. I then spent some time looking at the rubbish in my room rather balefully, thinking about launching out on the great throw-out and tidy-up which presages the onset of packing.

Then I thought 'bugger it' and dozed off again.

I think I'll treat myself to the extended Two Towers a little later.
