Typical start to the week: hour-long conference call from 9:30am, the team saying their pieces then zoning out while everyone else does theirs. Headsets down around 10:35am, so time to whip out the one man cafetiere. Then, clunk: no lights, no monitors, no phones. In short, no power. And as Bjork once said, it's oh so quiet. Sat chatting for a bit, while others gave up and headed to Woodbridge for an early lunch. Noon and still no juice, so over to the canteen. Long lunchbreak then back to find the office being locked up, everyone going or gone home. Work's out! Plenty of time to knock up last month's Dolmio (Doings Of Last Month Innoparticular Order).

That is to say, an attempt to capture past(a) events before they slip... my... mind. May 2007 was spent:

• watching Scott Of The Antarctic and shivering along with the ill-fated horses
• being gripped by the compelling talks from past TED conferences
• kicking off the 2007 tour of Woodbridge cafes
• siding with Tom Hanks in Road To Perdition
• sticking with the strange goings-on within Birthstone
• easing out of the weekend with that nice Stephen Fry in Kingdom
• finally catching up with the oddball Donnie Darko
• reading far too quickly about Nemo, Mina and Hyde in League Of Gentlemen Volume 2
• seeing Grissom struggling to catch the miniatures killer in Vegas CSI
• going by rail, excruciatingly slowly, to a soggy Cambridge
• dumping the kids at the in-laws then heading home for Star Trek: Nemesis
• hitting Listen Again repeatedly for Radcliffe & Maconie

And that was May 2007.
