think I got away with it. I presented battlefront, routes and for the first time, smokescreen. Must get rid of rubbish C4 laptop, though…

Big empty space to fill till flight home this evening. Using Art to build a distraction wall, with Cake as grouting.
Watching the TV’s Got Talent session at #mgeitf. It’s genuinely very, very good!
Watching ant and dec in conversation at #mgeitf. God, I miss SMTV..

Watching ex-boss Ashley Highfield give the Futureview at #mgeitf. He’s used that 60’s UK post office futurology video. Lulz.
