Wednesday was April 1st which means two things, it was April Fools’ Day and it should have been deskscape.  What I’ll do is I’ll lie to you for a bit and then I’ll post the picture, no one needs to know we messed up.

It was a glorious day in the buzzing metropolis that is Stoke-on-Trent.  Scribble bounced out of bed, Wednesday’s girlfriend was still begging for more but Scribs had already spent three hours longer in bed than he had intended.  As he stepped into the shower the hour hand on the clock grazed 6am.  He was running late.

Drying himself off with a handful of £50 notes Scribble shared some of his deeper thoughts with the small boy that stood in silence in the corner of the bathroom.  Scribs had purchased him a few years back and he was excellent value, his sole purpose nowdays to distill these mental gems to 140 characters and post them to his master’s Twitter.

It was perfect weather to take the hover-car to work and Scribble was in a relatively good mood until he tasted the sugar in his morning coffee.  It was unfortunate but he would have to let the beverage department go.

Think that’s enough lies to tide us over until 2010.

1. FHM Calendar – Sometimes this deskscape feature seems little more than an excuse to insult this item on a monthly basis.  Tricia Helfer steps into the role of Miss April with disappointing results.  FHM seem to have compiled this calendar using photos that didn’t make the magazine.  Unfortunately there was a reason these pictures didn’t get published the first time around.  Tricia glances apprehensively at whatever lurks in the corner and clings desperately to her pants, pre-empting the predator’s first move.
2. Tissues – People I’m sick.  Since Wednesday I’ve had a cold that has slowly grown worse, even less is getting done than usual and I’m sleeping more (hard to believe but true).  Today I blew my nose a lot, ate some chicken and vegetable soup (thanks Baines) and had a warm bath (a hot bath would have required at least three more kettles of water).  On the plus side lots of House MD is getting watched.
3. Empty Space would suggest that I’ve been productive and completed all my paperwork.  It is strewn across the floor. If you’ve submitted a form for me to complete please be patient (although it’s doubtful that the taxman and the Student Loan Company read this blog).
   
4. Mr Piggles is still hoping for some last minute swears before Lent is out (Saturday 11th April is the last day of Lent).
   
5. Pink Notebook – This blank page is a perfect metaphor for my future, either that or I just haven’t been doing any work recently.
   
6. Japanese Peace Lily is about to flower.  Leon’s got nothing on me.

Well, that’s all the formalities out of the way, time to get back to being ill.  I’ll try and blog my finances this weekend (I know I was meant to do that today), stop with the careless indifference towards challenges and write about apples.
