I woke up around noon-ish, and stumbled out of bed with usual meandering gait. Went to my computer, and checked my E-mail as my morning drink was warming. (Despite the name, I do enjoy a good cup of coffee in the morning).
"Spring in London, 2013" was one of many E-mails, most of which being advertisements.
I checked this one first.
"Congratulations!"
My first thought, of course, was to text Crumpet. I braced for the impact of the reactionary text even whilst texting my own. A few minutes later, the reply: "Wow, I have never gotten out of bed and up the stairs so fast as I did when I read your text. Waiting for comp to start up." and the shortly therafter addition of capslock-strewn jubilation. I smiled and suggested we start chatting on Skype.
Meanwhile, as I poured some cereal for the morning, my thoughts were on how to pay for the trip. We'll manage, but I haven't much spending money for the occasion. My pets will miss me. I've never been away from home for so long.
But that's all fine, because we're going to London! Tea and Crumpet's adventures start here, my friends, and we will be READY for it!
I've drawn up the logo for the blog, and have a million ideas for other things to do to keep me occupied. I need to start posting on my other blog as well, Darksteamscogsoftheearth.blogspot.com.
Now I need to make myself a good cup of tea to celebrate!
