lurk yet

A nice normal Monday after two weeks of faff and kerfuffle. In one office for the whole day, no unnecessary meetings, no excessively time-consuming tasks and almost nothing untoward taking place although mere seconds after tweeting that I was considering leaving for the evening I was waylaid and coerced into staying for another couple of hours. I had a cinema booked for twenty to six so couldn't stay any later (though it was close) but it proves the point made several times over the past couple of weeks that it's best to leave when the urge first arrives without considering it for longer than a few seconds, checking email first or glancing around like a meerkat about to go off shift which only attracts attention. I had been hoping to be able to have time to sit about drinking shop-bought coffee and reading one of the two work photo club magazines I've been sitting on for a couple of weeks before the film but barely had time to get one of the relatively manky coffees from the Filmhouse cafe, supplied in a cinema-unfriendly foam cup with a lid without a spout/hole, necessitating very careful movements to prevent foamy squeakage when unlidding during the film (A Clockwork Orange, already seen at the cinema when it was re-released but I thought it worth catching again on proper-screen) though I'm sure the bloke in front of me (who was TALKING at various points) wouldn't have minded.

Mr Livingstone (pictured) still hasn't joined the blip, though he still reads regularly. He keeps mentioning it so he obviously wants to join; hopefully the non-members-can-comment functions will draw him in. He's even concerned about the camera capabilities of the mobile handsets to which he's looking to upgrade. JOIN US. He's twittering but not twitpic-ing which will hopefully be the next step as it's then an even shorter jump to full photoblogging.
