Everything Must Be Perfect

As I get older I seem to be getting more pedantic and want evrything to be perfect.  For instance, I check posts in this blog to make sure that every word, letter and formatting is as I want it.

But then as someone, who learned to set letterpress type before I was seven and who spent most of my working life as a programmer, would you expect anything else.

Today, I was looking for the perfect bag.  It has to be ultra-light, can take my Iconia tablet and power supply, a toothbrush and paste, a hairbrush, a spare pair of underpants and hopefully the Times 2 section and a football program. I think I’ve found it in a Samsonite Network Laptop Shoulder Bag.

I’ll let you know after the weekend, when I’m spending Friday night in Plymouth and then watching the football in Bristol on the Saturday. I’ve weighed it and the whole package is under 1.6 Kgs.

As I’m staying in a decent hotel in Plymouth, hopefully they’ll have soap, shampoo and a towel!

  1. Women of course need far more than that!

    • It took forty years to train C. But at least over the last couple of years of her life, she’d cut down drammastically. On one of the last holidays we took, she took no make-up. Her problem was books and shoes.

      I can’t read them at the moment as my left hand isn’t good enough to hold it. Kindles must help in keeping the weight down, as my Iconia is about the same weight.

      As to shoes, I just take one pair. And I wear them all the time.

  2. My daughter often has spare shoes in her handbag, and always has spare ones in her car!

    I wear very little make-up because I struggle to put it on with my hand problems. But I would still take moisturiser, cleanser, etc. And most women wouldnt use the free shampoo.

    I use iPad, and love it – it has kindle on it, which is good, but I can use it to make notes and write letters, I cant hand write for long, and it isnt always legible
