Eight? Drat! Breakfast. Clothes.
Rat-race to office. Desk full.
Phone rings. Eyes droop. Sad!

Beautiful white light,
Boundless curving blue water,
Calming smooth white noise.

Apologies Busterbone, that was a very UK-centric joke. Mars used to make a bar called "Topic" (they may still), and the TV ad in the late seventies/early eighties was an infuriatingly catchy tune and the lyrics:
"What has a hazelnut in every bite?
TOPIC!
Smooth milk chocolate for your delight?
TOPIC!
Nougat and caramel golden light...
Aaaaaand don't forget the hazelnut in every bite!
Topic. A hazelnut in every bite".
(I really wish my memory was this good for useful stuff...)
Anyway, of course schoolkids quickly modified the above to...
"What has a hazelnut in every bite? SQUIRREL S**T!"
So anyway, next topic: what has a hazelnut in every bite
ho ho. ah well...
All of which is completely lost on anyone under about 25 or anyone not resident in the UK. So sorry about that everyone.
Moving on:
