I think lack of sleep and drinking too much are catching up on me, finally. I woke up this morning unable to breathe properly and sneezing like a 9mm. It was eight; I'd only fallen asleep three hours earlier.
Then I take my computer to this cafe and find that my "i" key is sticking. Now, I've not done any technical stuff with this laptop before so was hoping that I wouldn't break the key as I tugged at it. It took me about twenty minutes to spot the culprit: a crumb, that was underneath the forked device that keeps the actual key in place.
The next question was: how to get it out? I poked it a few times with my thumbnail (which has grown long again), but couldn't get to it. Eventually I used the fork from this delicious apple pie I had. Couple of pokes and the crumb was no more.
Even though Russia lost yesterday, everyone was still walking the streets shouting "РО-ССИИ-Я!" (Ro-ssiii-ya!), waving flags, and basically inciting everyone around them to join in. What on earth would have gone on had they won??
I honestly can't wait to arrive in Moscow on Monday morning. I've wanted to wander around the city for a very long time!
