Starting on a Wednesday!

Back in the office then, after a four-day bank holiday weekend. We civil servants get the extra day for the Queen’s birthday, don’tcha know. It’s instead of a living salary unless you are one of the few at the top end who get paid as much as two Prime Ministers (though why anyone would want to be paid in Prime Ministers is anyone’s guess).

It is now less than a fortnight until the move and we are beginning to get into squeaky bum territory as we face the task of packing and remembering precisely who we need to tell and what needs cancelling/transferring and all. We have decided that the best way of getting into the task is to go and see 39 Steps at the Criterion tonight with belle_fille1982 and mrtonylee. This will be far more fun than turning then flat into a packaging wasteland. That task will commence on Saturday, I reckon and then move apace until we find we have run out of time!

I am grateful to Fabio Capello for picking an England World Cup squad that has little chance of progressing much past the group stages (if that, given their recent performances). This means that I shan’t have to fret at missing a number of World Cup matches and can listen sanguinely to radio commentaries or watch Brazil or someone else between times.

I rather cunningly left a whole swathe of cash in my other trolleys this morning, so I have had to use the last fiver in my wallet to buy my morning latté. I foresee a raid on the ATM in my near future.
