Woke up.  Put on suit.  Read text messages.  Took off suit.  Went downstairs.  Turned on computer...

Too much detail I think.  Sitting naked in front of your computer?   Grin

Absolutely spot on.  Especially the hair.

No worries. Deviation now in the right place for further discussion. I would have been quicker to split but I'm afraid my walk has become rather sillier recently.

Also, when NickB made his innocent remark about how his day started out, I doubt he was expecting the Spanish Inquisition.

No, you're not. Younger readers may recall the Little Britain sketch, where the man leaves home for work naked but for shoes, realises he's forgotten something and goes back in, emerging later with his briefcase.
