Mind you, the blog is an enjoyable habit; my procrastination in the face of a mountain of over due (well long overdue) paperwork this past week is at the opposite end of the spectrum. Most days I have been swearing every day at myself for not doing things like filing expenses and statements on a daily basis. That large drawer in the desk has been too convenient of recent years. Fortunately I have a son in need of additional allowance and with the application to spend five solid days entering stuff in to spreadsheets. Ok it will cost me money, but its a small price to pay for finally persuading him that he never ever wants to become an accountant.

I also discovered (or rather re-discovered) the wonderful value of test cricket. Aside from the fact that it is exciting for the whole of the five days (or four and a half in the case of the current one) it doesn't require the intense concentration of Rugby. So its more than possible to sit on the floor of the sitting room surrounding by piles of paper, some of it yellowing, while keeping the brain engaged with run rates and the like.

Either way, we know that context triggers the basal ganglia so I think I had better record several cricket matches and play then briefly each evening to trigger the filing and referencing reflex which has developed over the past few days.
