My day with Documentally

What a strange day it's been. I've not blogged for a couple of days 'cos I've been too weak to lift my fingers and type. In complete contradiction to this blog post, I have delved into the miserable world of diets and had a second bash at the lemon detox diet, thus resulting in headaches and severe lack of energy.

This involves five days of drinking nothing but brown gunk and eating....er...actually, there's no eating involved. Yes, that's right folks, nothing, nada, nowt. I'm on day three now and I've just caved in and eaten an apple. I'm playing netball tonight and a tad concerned I might faint on court and collapse in a heap with my netball skirt around my ears. Could be embarrassing!

Anyway, enough of this detox talk; there's been another drain on my energy source today and his name is Christian. This cheeky chappy, a social media generalist, blogger and video boffin, came into work to carry out some quirky video interviews with some of our academics and it was my job to babysit him.

And oh what fun we had. Now, I defo have a face for radio (see this blog post) but time spent with Christian, aka Documentally, invariably means being recorded and with little notice. No time to apply more make up but just enough time to develop a stutter.

Anyways, I told Documentally guy about my detox and he crept up on me, video-recording mobile phone in hand (the Nokia N95, I must get one) while I was innocently working at my desk. Well, I need say no more but you can watch frivolity here.

Needless to say, I am pooped after a hard day in (and out) of the office and will have to go home and battle with willpower. To eat or not to eat? One thing's certain, I can cross off a career in broadcast journalism or modelling. Talking bullshit? Yeah I could make a career out of that!

PS Documentally suggested using the word "gag" in a blog post to see if it generates hits. So here it is again: gag. Will keep you posted.
