In desperation, I escaped for an hour or so this afternoon. I’d worked extremely hard at not doing much in the way of anything constructive, and needed to get out of this confined space.

I did the two jobs I went out to do, and decided to have a coffee break before venturing home… so I settled down in the coffee shop I’ve taken to frequenting on these rare occasions with a large mug of coffee and some cheesecake. I thought I’d found a relatively secluded place, as I’d never been spotted before, but today I’d obviously failed completely. Three lots of people saw me, and decided they had to come and say “Hello” and to tell me what they were going to phone me about later.

I’m sure I was giving out “Go away and leave me in peace” vibes in bucket loads, but they weren’t working.
