Thursday Thirteen #7

1. Keys: I used to have a huge bunch of keys and pocket tools when I worked as a projectionist/tech crew at University. Now I’ve got a few house keys and a lot fewer holes in my pockets.
2. Wallet: Need somewhere to keep #3, #9. #10 and #12. Plus other assorted detritus.
3. Cash and change: I’m no “Rusty” Regan I like to keep this to what I need to have on me and not too much more
4. Watch: I need this so I can make sure I’m early. Even though #6 and #7 have clocks built in I still like having the convenience of a wrist watch.
5. Maglite: I’ve carried this with me since I was a projectionist. Surprising how often having a torch is useful.
6. Mobile Phone: I’m not a big mobile phone user. My first phone was a brick – when it suffered multiple systems failure last year I opted for a slinky modern slim line number in silver.
7. Dell Axim X50: I spent a long time avoiding having a handheld but eventually I succumbed. It doesn’t run my life although it does remind me to do those jobs I’d rather forget to do.
8. Think Outside Slimline Keyboard: This lets me write when I’m away from home without having the hassle of typing up notes afterwards.
9. Stamps
10. Cards: Membership cards, store loyalty scheme, library card and bank cards. #2 needs to have lots of space for these.
11. Used Rail Ticket: No matter how hard I try I always seem to find one of these in my wallet. Usually from or to Liverpool. Still they make good emergency bookmarks.
12. Pen and Organiser: Before I got # 7 I relied on my Muji aluminium organiser to keep track of phone numbers and other mundane stuff. Now it’s got a few essentials and lots of blank paper for those times I can’t set up #7 and #8 or when the battery goes flat.
13. Comb: I’m no style guru (really I’m not) but I do have one grooming item with me pretty much all the time.
