My friend Eleanor of Thatchwick Cottage set me the task some time ago of talking about Five items that aren't in my briefcase but ought to be there!I do apologize for taking so long to post: firstly, we have been nextra busy with our spring entrepreneurial exploits, and secondly, most days I can't even find my briefcase!
So, I have at last caught up with myself, my time and my briefcase. However, as you will see - it is lacking in some very important contents ...
Number 1: A phone! Yes, I know ... I am very old fashioned, but I really am not a mobile phone person. Give me the stylish old proper telephones any time! But they are a little bulky to cram into my case!
Number 2:
What do you notice about the smart business-giraffe in the above
picture? He is carrying an umbrella! He must have a much better memory
than I do, because I nearly always forget my umbrellas in cafes and
shops. Therefore I really ought to have a small telescopic umbrella to
keep in my briefcase.
Number 3:
The focus of business is allegedly supposed to be money. Money is not
my focus. Maybe this is why I usually forget to carry any with me.
Number 4: A newspaper. When I buy my Neckelchester News, I immediately scour it from end to end, preferably sitting on a sunny bench. My head full of thoughts and ideas which arise from my reading, I absent-mindedly leave the paper on the bench. I suppose it's better than carrying the paper away and forgetting my briefcase!
Number 5: The final item I ought to carry in my briefcase but do not, is a nice brew of hot tea and some food!

"Ah!" I hear you saying, "He forgets his lunch too!"

Blushingly,
I have to confess, dear bloggy friends, I certainly never ever forget
food. I remember it far too early in the day ... and eat it all! My
lunch is devoured well before time for elevenses - my briefcase is
lighter and I am not!
Over to you! I leave the picking up of this meme to my readers - if you would like to talk about five things that are not in your briefcase or handbag, but ought to be, I would be very glad to read your post!

Thank you Eleanor for setting me this task!

For everyone: Here's a question ... you now know five things I haven't got in my briefcase. Please tell me what you think I do have in my briefcase!
