DUBLIN BELLYBUSTERS

The sort-of nervy silence in the room has disappeared with a lot of conversations starting. The room is chock-a-block so I guess you can’t stand that close to someone without eventually saying hello. I haven’t spoken a word to anyone yet coz I’m furiously typing. The general dress is casual – mostly jeans and shirts or jeans and hoodies. Funny thing is I don’t feel over-dressed in my dress shirt and trousers because I actually feel comfortable in this garb. My uniform is normally my pajamas but as my friend Dave said to me this morning, “it’s like you’re joining the rest of us in the real world today”. My real world morning included an early wake-up call, a shower, a short walk and then a 20-minute journey on the tube from Fulham. Then, just like a real person, I popped into a café on my way to work to pick up a cappuccino. I wonder if my parents and school-teachers would be proud.
