*sets the scene*<\/p>\n
It is 9am Saturday.<\/p>\n
I am propped up in my lovely, lovely bed with lovely, lovely clean bed-linen and my lovely, lovely new 12.5 Tog duvet.<\/p>\n
I have tea.<\/p>\n
I have cereal.<\/p>\n
The iPod docking station is playing lovely, lovely music. Anemo’s ‘Music Box’, at the moment.<\/p>\n
And I am thinking, pensively.<\/p>\n
There’s much to do today.<\/p>\n
I need to get up, shower, shave, teeth, get dressed and pack for a night away.<\/p>\n
I am meeting a friend in Newbury for lunch. When we’re done with that she’ll be off to have things done to her. You know, hair, and all that.<\/p>\n
I have to check in to a hotel in Newbury (no, not with the friend, you dirty-minded thing).<\/p>\n
At about 6pm I need to do more bathroom-related things, then change in to my dinner suit, dress shirt, bow-tie (I hope I can remember how to tie it!) and shiny shoes.<\/p>\n
I’m meeting my friend and a bunch of other people for some pre-event drinks, in the hotel reception.<\/p>\n
And then we’re all going out to a Ball.<\/p>\n
It’s the ‘Event Riders Association’ Ball.<\/p>\n
We have a couple of taxis booked to get us there. And to get us back again afterwards.<\/p>\n
Before we all turn in to pumpkins.<\/p>\n
Whatever.<\/p>\n
But before I can do any of those exciting things, there’s the most mundane – yet difficult – obstacle to overcome.<\/p>\n
The ‘getting out of bed’.<\/p>\n
Bugger me, it’s difficult.<\/p>\n
Especially when ones bed is so comfortable. And warm. And cosy. And the music in here is so good. And…<\/p>\n
Well.<\/p>\n
You know.<\/p>\n
*pause*<\/p>\n
I don’t actually have to get up<\/p>\n
Yet.<\/p>\n
