Quite accidentally, my mobile phone was left on the shelf in my bedroom this morning. In fact, with the rush I was in, I was very lucky to have not forgotten my keys and my wallet, since I’d not checked for those before leaving the house, either. The only thing that I’d specifically remembered was my ipod. Don’t leave home without it, I guess.

This isn’t the first time I’ve left myself away from my mobile, and I’m sure it will happen again, but I get a flash of panic each time it happens. It is friday, after all. Each time it happens, the world keeps turning; I’ve still got music.
