lootubes

Every time a significant stack of these builds up I feel I ought to do something with them rather than just allow them to be flattened and shoved in the recycling-bag. There's not really anywhere suitable to store them; they're OK on top of the toilet as that's just where they naturally accumulate but putting them anywhere else would count as storing/hoarding and would thus be weird/disapproved of. I've just spotted a place in which a few might conceivably be hidden for a while... then, when another cistern-lid-load has collected they can all collected and employed somewhere.

One more vaguely troublesome day finished - less faffing than yesterday but still far too much explaining something to someone whilst getting the feeling that I wasn't explaining it basically enough and that there might be no method simple enough to elicit anything like a spark of recognition either in the recipient's face or reply-words. I've had to start averting my face when speaking to it - very rude, but less rude than addressing someone from a face pitched somewhere between exasperation, incredulity, worry, severely tried patience and pity. A large walk at lunchtime and an evening-commitment to finish in time for certainly helped. Tomorrow will also have to feature enough lunch-walking-time to get to the nice new quick card-swiping ticket-collection machines in the Fringe office and will similarly involve finishing early enough to get to another show.
