Today has been nothing short of bizarre. These are a few of the stranger things that have happened...
1) A delivery man arrived at our office and said to me, "I've got an aviary for you, but it's too big to bring up the stairs."
2) The enormous cage in question turned out to be for the chinchilla of production co-ordinator Helen Hughes, and when this was finally established, the delivery man turned round to advertising manager Damien St George and said: "Are you Helen?"
3) In a landmark decision, the production editor gave his seal of approval to our first choice of cover (albeit after a fair bit of to-ing and fro-ing)
4) Deputy editor, Matthew Williams, made everyone a coffee...
5) I received an e-mail that read simply: "You look really stupid editor." (though, admittedly, they probably had a point...)
Hey ho; just another day at Surrey Life...
