Happy Easter
I leave you with the news that I didn’t win the annual agency Easter egg decorating competition. But here is my entry (below) anyway. Back next week.
Update 15/04/11 – due to the relatively enormous amount of Easter Egg Decorating related traffic this post is getting, I’ve pasted below some hopefully helpful suggestions (which I previously popped in as comments but are easier to read this way):
- try ‘Christina Egguilera’ (which got me the runner’s up place in 2006ish), or ‘Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall’
- or ‘Dora the Eggspolorer’, or a penguin, or Kenny from South Park
- or if you’re feeling ambitious try making these Easter Egg Celebrities (thanks to @andjambro for the link on email)
Been there, done that, got the bruises to prove it
So, 6 meetings, 2 car journeys, 5 taxis, 7 trains and 6 tubes later, I’ve got back to 132 emails in my inbox. I could do with a couple of days in bed to recover, but I offer the following observations:
- Train journeys offer the perfect opportunity to get your head around a problem (or at least part of one). An uninterrupted hour or two to think and scribble (with an ever-changing view to stare out at) is a real rarity.
- Try this fun new game: talk to a stranger on the tube and watch them freak out…
- I did get to the theatre – Avenue Q was brilliant – joyous even. And very rude. I’m still smiling every time I think about it.
- It turns out that legs go an attractive shade of purple when they are repeatedly bashed by your overweight, oversized, brought-the-contents-of-my-desk-with-me-just-in-case bag.
- Whoever thought it was a good idea to put serrated metal strips on the edges of the stairs out of Kings Cross Thameslink station should come and have a look at the dirty great hole I now have in my knee after falling up said stairs.
