  • Calendars

    I have calendars to help me keep track of things. I often get the feeling that I’ve forgotten something, so getting into the habit having calendars updated… will likely be beneficial when I am 88, and forget everything.

    There is the calendar on the iPhone, which syncs with GoogleCalendar and the iCal on my computer. And there is the outlook calendar, which doesn’t sync with anything because it is a special little snowflake…

    We also have a monthly calendar where we track travel plans in our flat.

    And finally, there is the Moleskine calendar. Strange, that with all the electronic options… The best thing is still to write it out on paper.

  • HCP: October 2010

    Another month, another tallying of duties.

    Interestingly, Daniel looks to be picking up some visits abroad, always with Victoria. One would think that with the long engagement period, his “prince-school” could have progressed to the part where he’s got a couple of royal duties on his own, but maybe they’re saving that?
