I managed to waste over an hour looking for a letter that I convinced myself that I really need, even although I probably don't. The kettle is another good excuse to stop for a few minutes. I have been testing the theory that a watched kettle doesn't boil. Consider the theory disproved. I conducted the experiment repeatedly throughout the day, and the kettle boiled every time without fail. I tidied up my desk... by which I mean I lifted piles of paper from one side of the desk and put them on the other side - I managed to drag that out for about 45 minutes; well, I did have to check which papers need to be kept, which ones needed shredding and which ones could just be thrown in the bin. As it transpired, I had to keep them all, apart from a few leaflets that I put through the shredder. What with all this going on, I just couldn't find the time to take a picture today! BTW, thanks to everyone who is looking at and voting for my Neglected gallery, which is riding high in the popular galleries - the second page is higher than I've ever been before, so thanks!
