I wonder about my sanity and today is no exception.

I am in London, in advance of giving a paper at a conference tomorrow and I was fishing about in my bag looking for something when I came across this. What is it? Well, of course, when you go to London, what you really need to carry with you is a 99p Trago Mills peg bag. Yep – an essential item for London as I am sure you will agree.

It’s been in my bag since the weekend, having been bought by yours truly and then belligerently ‘smuggled’ out of the store in my handbag – they think you are a thief if you don’t show them your receipt and them sign it off to ensure you’ve nothing that you haven’t paid for in your possession. Although I had paid for my cutie peg bag, I was determined to not be scrutinised by their security folks for a 99p item so I shoved it in my handbag and forgot all about it.

So, it’s here with me in London and I’m sure it’ll be a great comfort to me when I stand up in front of 150 people or so to present tomorrow.

In fact, it’s a great comfort to me now – I like these sheep, believe it or not, they remind me of home, where I’d much rather be right now.

I’m hoping and praying that I won’t break my pbase photo a day pledge because my camera is playing up again and I don’t know if it’ll hold out for the rest of the week……now I regret selling my G3 – if this one breaks, I’m in trouble!

Last year, we were crabby!
