really stupid crap
Val has her exams starting tomorrow in London, and a flight thither at 10:15am today. She got up all early, kissed me goodbye as I dozed and headed out to get the 7 o'clock metro to the station, from where she would take the shuttle bus to the airport at half past. Only problem was, there IS no 7 o'clock metro on a Sunday. I'd overlooked the part where Germans make up for their sedulous working week by doing absolutely fuck all on Sundays. The first metro is at 7:46. So Val came back panicking, and a very brief analysis of our options led to me calling a taxi and getting it to take her to the airport 50 miles away, at a projected cost of €120. Which I'm paying, since a) Val hasn't got any money anyway, and b) it's my fault for assuming there would be a metro at 7.
Anyway, this neatly consumes the remainder of the taxback I got last month, so I can now officially stop acting like I have money to spend. At least I bought a couple of nice presents for people before I blew it all.
I shouldn't even be fully awake yet, let alone broke.
