The concert with Claire went really well. It was fun playing in a room full of artworks packed with interested people all dressed casually, but very serious about listening to us. After the concert when people were speaking with us, one man rushed up to me and said "It was such a pleasure.. and such a surprise! Here, take this" and handed me £20!! He was gone before I could come to my senses and give him a hug and tell him not to worry, in a few minutes we will be spending the entire £20 on desserts in the fancy cafe downstairs (the treacle tart was amazing. And the chocolate ice cream had bits in it!!).

Anyway, back home late and preparing for a sleepless night doing my assignment which was due at 1pm the next day. I had done MOST of it when I decided to have a dinner-break at about 11:30pm, closed the lid of my laptop to see the TV, the laptop screen started going mad then suddenly went completely black. I'd saved my work ON THE LAPTOP.. not externally, and with Hayden 2 hours into his flight, the timing for a technology screw-up was perfect. I was up at 6 the next morning rushing to College to re-do the whole thing and hand it in before my rehearsal at 10am, the train station of course was shut, I was high on coffee and feeling queezy and everything just kept getting worse and worse...
So yeah, yesterday was terrible. I handed the assignment in with about 1 minute to go, no proofreading but better done than not. The problem is that everything good comes at a price - a fabulous concert followed by an amazing sugary creamy chocolate filled evening couldn't just be left amazing - it had to be rounded off with misery.
I have a weekend with no internet and no one else at home to look forward to. I might have to turn to watching TV or something disastrous.
