This week’s Friday Five:

1. What was the last important thing you were late for?
I am generally never late for anything, usually stupidly early in fact, but my last significant lateness (in my mind) was being late for a doctor’s appointment the other week because a bus didn’t show up. Despite the fact that I was only five minutes late and my doctor was running over half an hour late anyway, I was vaguely mortified.

2. What was the last important thing you were late with?
We are currently later with returning some documents about our flat. I try not to be late with things because it plays on my mind so much and stresses me out, but we’re so undecided about this one that we’ve delayed it until the last minute. And then got an extension. And are still late!

3. What (or who!) is the most frequent cause of your lateness?
Getting distracted, usually by random pages on the internet that I wouldn’t normally read or don’t care about, but still get absorbed by.

4. Which of your close friends or relatives can you expect almost always to be inconveniently late?
A. Not inconveniently so, but he is VERY fond of leaving things until the last minute.

5. What’s most likely to cause you to stay up too late before bed?
If A stays up, I will too, no matter how tired I am. I generally can’t settle until he in bed anyway, so if he’s out I’ll be awake until he’s back, and if he’s coding I’ll wait for him. Oh, and Sudoku!
