At 11.30 of the morning clock I found myself outside my office, walking in the general direction of away, my bag slung over my shoulder and my woolly hat at a jaunty angle, whistling the theme tune from "The Great Escape"

Yes my dear 0.5 of a reader, I was packed up and finished for the day!

So what to do with my new found freedom?

Well I headed up to the area of our new/old office and took shipscook for a lunchtime pint for starters.

Then hit a guitar shop or two and in one got myself a power supply for my Pocket Pod Guitar moddeler- no more desparate searches for AAA batteries for me! Then a hunt for a CD resulted in my purchase of a CD of the original blues recordings of the Led Zepplin songs, it said on the cover "The music that inspired led zep" - I think that is how you say "the stuff they covered and never credited" without getting sued. And of course I am in no way impliing any wrong doing on the bands part (thank fuck you said that - yours, worried Bob from the legal dept.)

I now find myself in an internet cafe that is cheap and down at heel. I feel right at home.

Next up is a drinkie and a read of my book in the Intrepid Fox, where I will NOT flirt with the barmaids no matter how manny fetching tattoos they have, and then head for a bookshop to get lost in.

In other news, a good friend of mine has just had some great news which I would love to pass on but can't. Except to say BLOODY WELL DONE - LETS GET HAMMERED!

The men in the blue t-shirts I mean, the chaps that are taking our stuff away!

Oh goody - can we go now then?

One of my workmates is complaining that they have a sore throat and thier tongue feels swollen.

I think they are coming down with the dreaded "Jamie Oliver" syndrome!

I hope it's not catching, just what I don't need today!

Yes, tis I - here bright and early and cloaked in a cloud of shredder dust looking like some guitarist from a goth band, live and direct from office moving day!

Some people on this blog and not two foot from me have done all there packing, in fact had it donen within 20 minutes of arriving and are now wandering round the blog killing time till the off at midday. ahem.

I have a bit more coffee to drink and papers to dispose of (not in an Enron kind of way of course) and then I will start chucking my junk (NOT a euphemism Row) into a crate.

Then I will do some, erm, things.

So this afternoon my plan is to go to the area our new office is in and make sure all my favourite venues are still standing, browse the guitar and bookshops, have lunch somewhere, maybe hit an internet cafe and generaly Chill till it is time to head off for El Rancho Colapso.

Well you gotta have a plan right?
