Things I Learned Last Year That Will Be Of No Possible Use To Anyone But Me


1. Do not listen to Goodnight My Angel (the Libera version) when attempting to write a Coffee Break.

2. Do not leave laptop in the hall unguarded. Maggot may chew threw cable, throwing life into disarray.

3. Write down passwords somewhere safe because there are too many and you tend to forget them. Look what's happened with PayPal?

4. Always shop at least two months ahead for birthdays. Otherwise you'll either be too late, or it will be a rush job and not palatable.

5. Do not leave present in plastic/paper bag in Aunt's house when she is not there to open the gate and accept it or it will be torn to shreds by her naughty pup.

6. Transcribe and write stories as quickly as possible; those that hang over your head for a long time tend to take on gargantuan proportions. It doesn't have to be perfect; it just has to be done.

7. One small bag is enough; make each thing you've packed work hard to justify it's place in your bag. And if it doesn't, don't pack it the next time.

8. Raincoats which double as trench coats are cool.

9. Sometimes making a list helps; sometimes it annoys the bejezus out of you.

10. Never bring your pay slips when you are first viewing a car. And for heaven's sake, don't sign anything.
