Aide Memoire / Emergency Blip

For several years now I've had a particular way of reminding myself that I need to do something. It's my own version of the traditional 'tie a knot in your hankie' concept, for those old enough to remember carrying a hankie around.

It basically involves moving my wedding ring from its normal position on my left hand over to the equivalent finger on my right hand. It stems from a time when I would randomly remember things I needed to do whilst I was driving.

These days, nine times out of ten the thing I need to remember to do is take a photo for my blip. If I'm having a busy day, and suddenly remember I haven't even taken my camera out of my bag, I'll do the wedding ring switcheroo thing and before I go to bed I'll remember to blip.

Well tonight I'm knackered and severely lacking in inspiration, so you're getting my reminder to blip as my blip...
