So Sanna blogged this, and then Lucy stole from Sanna, and then Andy stole from Lucy, and now Dominic is stealing from Andy. Peace? I do think I triumph over you all though, just in terms of pure paper overload. Though I do note with a certain sadness that I have the least colour by far. Resist the temptation to allegorise, please.

What's on my desk? In a vaguely clockwise direction from the book on the far-right:

Peter Gay's long, long, first-of-two-volumes-sort-of-long book on the Enlightenment, wallet, gyp room cupboard key, laptop (duh), an assortment of more Enlightenment books, an open Pukka Pad, a Tube map, a return ticket from Bury St Edmunds, a Themes and Sources folder, a folder, another pad, Doctor Who Magazine wrapping, a bookmark, a bus ticket, a highlighter, a leaflet on Ragweek 2008, The Caian, an empty book token holder, Abi's essay, Oliver's essay, vitamin tablets, reading lists, a letter from the dentist I really should get back to, an envelope from Sanna, Media Center [sic] remote, a pile of paper which I dare not sort through in full but includes a special note, payslip, a (larger) bill, an invitation to the History Society dinner, a criminal records check, some Union stuff and an unopened letter from the blood people (phew...), another Tube map, a lamp which makes an irritating buzzing noise, todo lists, more reading lists and a book, MP3 player and headphones... and a Dalek mug on a coaster!

I blog this after just having written out my final plan for my final essay of the term. A day behind usual schedule, but hey, better than Network Rail?
