Spontaneity and Cumberbatch live ftw!
Holy shit. I just bought a ticket for the "Letters Live" event at the Hay-on-Wye festival. I'll be seeing Benedict Cumberbatch live and in person, in a festival tent in Wales, reading things to the general public in that charismatic voice of his. I never thought in a million years that would happen. Ever. Well, until two days ago when the idea was first conceived. Life works in mysterious ways.
It's kind of a long story how that came about, and it was borne out of a cancelled appointment with a Canadian friend, which I was quite disappointed about. And then I decided to transform the whole thing into a win/win situation. If I'm not going to Ludlow, I might as well go to Hay-on-Wye. Not fifteen minutes later, I had bought that festival ticket and changed the rental car reservation. Thank God for the internet!
It'll be a two and a half hour drive each way, but I hope it'll be worth it. And I also hope the weather's not gonna be as shite as it has been today in Banbury.
Can I just add that I love being in the UK? It almost feels like a second home, every time I'm here. And staying with the BFF and her family is always such a pleasure. And now the battery of my laptop has almost run out, so I better get this posted and then get my butt into bed.
But...... YAY!
