the scene: Friday morning, I'm off work, in my favourite coffee shop, warming up for my writing session by compiling my list of Things To Do Today (the top thing to do being 'write in coffee shop') I am purposefully without a newspaper, book or any other potentially distracting object, just me, my notebook and 2 pens.

lol! - that's why my back-up pen's a pencil :-)
Hehe - funny - but not...but funny...hehe..
I find anything can be a distraction if the mind is so inclined...been known to drive myself half crazy with clicking of pen retractor buttons and pencil tapping...
next on list - pack of biros?
Essie - oddly, I didn't mention this but yes, me too - I have a back up pencil, but, obviously - yesterday morning I changed handbags and thought - nah, I'll leave the pencil today...
Rachel - bought a pack as soon as I left the coffee shop!
