so today

Don't read this one if you came for the lighthearted, it is pretty grumpy, but to be honest I am still the smiliest man i have seen today

So I was meant to be here for almost exactly four days, from Monday  evening till friday evening. I've now been here for nine days. I don't particularly want to go home, I just want to go. Sorry Kiev I am sure you have your charms but I am not in the right frame of mind or foot to see them.

In the restaurant tonight they put me in the furthest corner, so I couldn't even people watch adding to my sense of isolation. The waiting staff then proceeded to ignore me.

Spanner - Works - What to do, what to do.

I have been given the opportunity to fly to London after my talk on Friday morning.
Now after all my grouching throughout this blog you might think that that is great news. and I am certainly very grateful for the effort to get me on a flight to the UK.
So why am I saying it is a spanner in the works.
Well I would love to be home, I'd love to be in my own flat, trying out my new shower, watching the blues on iplayer, wearing my hat and washing my socks.
But
and there's always a but.
I live in Cardiff,
that means If everything is on time which is a big if would not get to my flat until gone 10 pm on Friday night, I have to be on a flight from Bristol at 10.30 on Sunday morning.
Not enough time to get my socks dry, not enough time to watch the blues, barely enough time to wear my hat.
So is it worth it?
I could fly straight to Lisbon where I need to be on Monday and just chill for a day or two.
What to do, what to do?

I miss my hat

if anyone is worried

My laundry came back fine,
in fact they even ironed my socks, I've never ironed a sock in my life, I don't even think I have had an ironed sock,  i hope they commented on how nice the socks were while they were ironing them.

up down up down up down down

If all goes well I will be walking round the streets of Lisboa, sipping vinho tinto or superbock by this time on Friday :-)

Right time for food, and I can assure you it is not going to be TGI's tonight.

Remember Yesterday...

I said I didn't know how I would cope with out internet, well the internet is down in the hotel so now I can find out :-)

The question for today is, should i try to get my haircut in a Ukraine hair dressers?

aaargh

Just when you think you have turned the corner, that things can only get better, they pipe glenn madeiros into the breakfast room.
All together now

nothings gonna change my love for you
you ought to know by now how much I love you
one thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love.


and to cap it off I just looked up those lyrics cos I was not sure of the last line and I have inadvertently downloaded it as a ring tone.
