Emergency pencil

I meant to go out and buy red balloons today, but I left it too late. And by 9.40pm found myself with no blip! Hence the emergency red pencil, which I bought in Lille in whatever year it was European City of Culture.

Nearly there with the paper for next weekend's conference. It is an International conference. In Sidcup. I spoke at an International conference once before. It was in Bradford. But I guess if I was travelling abroad there would be that much more scope for panic. As there is anyway with my International travel plans which involve no conference.
