A minute of your time?

It was too quiet in the office yesterday, so Dan put on this episode of Just A Minute. So, frustrated by my recent lack of inspiration for a blog subject, I thought I'd write for a minute, without deviation, repetition or hesitation on the subject of listening to Just A Minute in the office yesterday. (You'll have to take my word for it that I'll only type for a minute, because, for all you know, I could be hesitating for hours and deleting all my repetitions. couldn't I?) No, but really, I'll give it a go, and challenge you to do the same thing on the subject of what you did yesterday afternoon. You have 60 seconds...

Yesterday afternoon was very quiet in the office and, rather than listen to music, Dan put on an episode of Just A Minute, from the BBC i-Player. That particular programme had, as its panellists, Paul Merton, Sheila Hancock, David Mitchell and Clement Freud (the latter of which I must admit I thought had died a couple of years ago, but I was obviously thinking of someone else...). I laughed out loud on a number of occasions and realised that I couldn't remember the last time I'd heard this show. Consequently, I made a note to check out the play-again facility for Radio 4 and enjoy some others.
Hmm... Interesting exercise. I think I kept going for too long. And the success of this exercise will very much depend on your typing speed... I possibly need to think up some better rules for the blog version...

OK, so just tell me all about what you did yesterday afternoon, without deviation or repetition. Hesitate as long as you like...
