as Live8 runs overtime. Mr M's raked through the cupboard for something recordable overable and plumped on Woodstock. A tenuous link there, I reckon. Much of this is for Ms Miff's benefit. She and BF finally got into the Hyde Park concert at around 3.30 this afternoon, after many anxious phone calls home and accompanying raking through the BBC and Live8 sites by Mum and Dad trying to glean hints on how to beat the queues. In the event, they went away to have some lunch, and on returning, lo and behold, the queue had vanished! We're sort of proud, in a funny sort of way. And to think that back at Live Aid, Ms Miff wasn't even a twinkle in her father's eye!
It'll be the end to an exhausting few days for her. Starting off with extended 18th birthday celebrations for the BF (and if you wondered if he was meant to be somewhere more exotic than Hyde Park by now, his South American jaunt has been cancelled, or rather, parents have put their foot (or feet ) down.) These included a family meal out, a general end of A Levels 'do' with friends, and now this. With luck we may rendez-vous briefly tomorrow morning on my way out to church before she collapses in a little heap, to sleep it all off in preparation for the start of her summer job at Monsoon the next day. How do they summon up the energy to keep going? I feel very old and creaky all of a sudden.
