"Do you have a handbag, a backpack, a briefcase?  Describe the receptacle and all of its current contents."

Uh-oh.  This (as many people will know) could take a while.

This is The Sheep.  It is so-named because it is big, white and woolly.  

It always contains a buttload of stuff, and today this is particularly true because I've been visiting my friend Em.  So there's a toothbrush in a little case (well the head of it is), a roll-on, hairspray and a hairbrush.  (Everything else I nicked from Emma....I think she expects this by now.)

Then of course there's the usual stuff.

I was recently at a cool event for people who like books.  That sentence went wrong.  Let me start again.  I was recently at a book reading at the Book Hive in Norwich.  The book was a load of (fictional) stories written by people in Myanmar.  One of whom was there.  He had been a political prisoner for about twenty years.  It was all very interesting....

Anyhow, I sat on the floor next to a partially sighted lady, and we started discussing 'packing light.'  She was in favour, whereas I felt it was perfectly sensible, if not essential, to have:

1. An umbrella (in case it rains a lot and isn't windy).
2. A cap with a peak for if it is windy and raining a bit.
3. A knitted hat for if it is cold.
4. Gloves for if it is cold.
5. An emergency scarf for if it is cold and I have forgotten to wear a scarf.
6. Plasters.
7. An audio recording device.
8. Gum.
9. Paracetamol.
10. My bike keys (plus various others).
11. Purse.
12. Spare batteries, just in case.
13. Etc.

(Etc.)

However I couldn't justify the spare stick for my glue gun....

There was probably an ending to that tale, but it was a while ago now.  I think she might have laughed at me.
