anyway I suddenly remembered back in 1980s I had a pen and notebook and used 
to write large amounts of pseudocode in it - I remember spending a week in a 
farm with no electricity and writing enormous amounts of code. So I have 
bought a nice notebook and a gel pen. I am too lazy to sharpen a pencil and 
also sharpeners are not allowed in hand baggage on planes. So I am good to go.
