My bag
I NEVER put my phone in my bag, it goes in my shirt pocket. It’s an old phone, it doesn’t take pictures, access the internet or feed the cat.
As for my bag, I don’t put much in it at all. A small camera, an iPod, a notepad so I can remember where I’ve been and a book for long journeys. I also keep a bottle opener … for emergencies.
There are two types of emergency, for one you need a bottle opener, for all the others you need a phone. Rarely do you need both at the same time … unless it is to ask someone to bring you a bottle opener.
On the left is a bottle of Emmerdale Ale. The label on the back tells me it is; “A rich, smooth, golden ale, with a finely balanced flavour of fruity English Golding hops and Maris Otter malted barley. The result is a refreshing beer that is a joy in its own right or, the perfect accompaniment to roasted meats and strong cheeses”.
After a long day at work the first one goes down so well it hardly has time to wet the inside of the glass. After four or five there is a danger I become over refreshed and leave my bag in the pub. But at least I’ll be able to call and ask them to put it somewhere safe.
