Important Points

1) It is possible to enjoy cereal using water instead of milk in an emergency. A small caveat should be attached however to say that this depends solely on what cereal we are talking about and the standard of the water; London water would taste pish on anything. A thick coating of sugar can remedy the situation but this approach tends to be applicable in most situations.

2) I found a sock in my drawer that states "I love my dog" and includes a picture of said dog. This clearly does not belong to me and left me with a sense of serious disquiet imagining socks globally trading places with each other leaving there owners in possession of a medley of odd socks. Now if theses errant socks can swap places through space, what is to stop them conquering another dimension and swapping places through time. Time traveling socks, think about it.

3) Making impregnable forts from a meager collection of pillows and a duvet is a skill that I have perfected. Morning now find me sheltered against the cold in a deluxe fort that has breathing holes, mobile phone alarm mufflers and absolutely 100% no drafts. January will see me taking these skills on the road, workshops coming to a bed near you.

4) Vitamins are acceptable if they are made to taste of orange.

5) I currently have 1 green dust encrusted pith helmet, 1 elwire and gold braid full size sombrero and 1 tank helmet with full comms gear on my desk. On the back of my chair is lieutenant Commanders Royal Navy black jacket. Comments have been made. Obviously not to my face, especially if I am wearing any of the afore mentioned items. I feel I am now suitably insulated against the grey man.
