Five things in your bag

  • A pair of clock shaped earrings
  • A necklace shaped like a little purse, with a Czech coin inside it
  • Contact lenses
  • Wallet

Five things you do every day

  • Drink coffee
  • Rearrange something in my bedroom – this is an affliction, I actually do this every single day
  • Read the news – in an attempt to keep on top of current affairs and allow me to join in grown up conversations, and this sometimes involves googling the idiot’s guide to various political policies
  • Read a book
  • Write a to-do list of some description – yesterday it was a list of short story competitions that I’m planning to enter, today it will be a life budget of sorts

Five things you’re wearing right now

  • Mustard yellow trousers – for the second day in a row, no shame
  • Navy ribbed vest
  • Men’s denim shirt – from the men’s section of the charity shop, not stolen from a specific man
  • Green patterned vintage scarf – I say vintage, you say old – let’s call the whole thing off
  • Fancy new brogue type shoes from Tesco tip for getting free shoes: throw them in the trolley while your mother is shopping, and hope she never asks for the money back. This might also work with strangers in the supermarket. Try it and let me know how you get on

What are your five things this Friday?
