I’m really excited: Mark just wandered in with my ticket to go see Lord of the Rings tonight. A group is going to the midnight show … 9 hours and counting! The only complicated thing is what to do after the film. It’s over 3 hours long so I’ll be wandering around having got about 4 hours sleep at 4am. One thought that crossed my mind is whether to go directly in to work and come home at lunchtime. Alternatively I could grind my way through the day and hope that nothing comes up and that I can get an early night tomorrow. Final idea is to take the morning off work and sleep. Last option would also afford me some shopping time for Ali. Hmmm. Looks like the responsible thing and the crazy thing (come home lunchtime) might correspond.
