At somewhere around five in this morning, I woke up with hideous cramp in my left calf. Really painful. I waited until it subsided, then went back to sleep.

The alarm call came at 6:45 - 15 minutes early. I made the fatal mistake of letting my head touch the pillow again, and BANG, suddenly it's half past eight.

I jumped out of bed, only to discover that my left leg isn't working. The cramp must have pulled something. I really must remember to warm up and do my stretches before getting cramp next time. Anyway, I hobble to the shower.

I make it to my client's office, limp and all, by nine. (No time for breakfast.) Only to find that I've left my mobile, its charger, and crucially, the power converter back at the hotel.

Ever had one of those days?
