Blue Van Man

The man in the blue van arrived today at work.

He was a nice wee man who was happy for me to snap away at his wares, but I had an irrational premonition that this all might turn into the the child catcher scene from Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang as he had "lots of lovely goodies..." for us today.

There was an amazing amount of 'stuff' inside this big blue van and, just like in Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang, the students appeared from nowhere to buy trinkets gathered together from all over the world. I was tempted by an (now that I look at it again, a quite frankly scary) aboriginal mask. For some reason, Samantha has suggested it would be nice to keep it at work. Philistine.

It made a welcome break from the all the funky IT issues that are causing us no end of fun and games this week. Must be sunspots or some other voodoo causing it and the poor support guys are starting to look old well before their time. Taking a pen and some paper with me tomorrow.

Is that August finished already?!?
