Noooooooo! I hate hot-desking. No thank you. It looks as though that might be happening to us soon, as we are supposed to move office in the spring, to an office that will be nicer than the current one but with fewer desks than staff members (by quite some number!) so suddenly all the things normally banned or frowned upon, such as compressed working hours or working from home are suddenly likely to be encouraged! I don't really care where my desk is but where the hell am I going to put my potted plant - carry it round each day until I find a corner of a table to work from?

I am resting at home today. Or at least that is what is meant to be happening, but in reality I cannot stop hoovering and tidying and generally dashing about. Never mind.

Went last night to the Royal Albert Hall to watch a one-off concert by Goldfrapp. It was a really amazing show. What a beautiful voice. There was the band and an orchestra and also a choir. Apparently that will be their last gig "for some time". It sold out very quickly - in fact it brought down the RAH website about half an hour after they opened for sales, so I feel very lucky to have got a ticket.

Right, go and put my feet up for a bit.

Edit to add:
"Shower of puddings" is by far the best expression I have heard in a long time!
