So, after carping on about the Olympics, I figured I'd get myself some tickets because of... I don't know, the vague possibility I'll kick myself 20 years down the line? I don't even know. But I figured the tickets would be all sold out - they aren't - or incredibly expensive - not all of them. So... I've got time off, just pick up a couple, right? My brother's in the city, it's all fairly straight-forward.
BUT NO. Because he can't confirm what dates he'll be in London, or whether he has the £20 for a ticket (FFS, I'll pay! you know? who cares.), or whether he'll be on fire with his head on Mars. I DON'T KNOW. And texting back and forth is expensive because I'm still in Senegal. So I phoned him from a colleague's phone. he didn't pick up, but promptly phoned her back when i was in a meeting. GAH.
I'm sticking a pin in it until tomorrow. This will be much easier once I have access to a phoneline again.
In the meantime - trip done! *airpunch* And report written. Because I am just that efficient.
And now: to prepare for my night-flight and 3+ hours at heathrow passport control... /yay
