Not TOO much gin
or you may actually miss your flight. Still, like you say - at least you're going on holiday tomorrow. Better to turn up early (although a whole 24 hours is perhaps a touch early even for the hardiest OCD inflicted traveller) than too late and miss it.
Did you get a new house sorted out btw?

Indeed I did
That Friday afternoon, I toddled off to the Great British Beer Festival - top afternoon it was too - where I was actually quite put out after the woman in Streatham Hill phoned me back finally to say that they were sorry, and they really would have liked to take me on, but their old housemate had asked to move back in the evening before.

Fortunately, a friend of mine, who I'd been talking to just before this phone call interrupted us, asked what that was about and then pointed out that he would be moving to Oxford in September and was therefore looking to rent out the rooms in the house he owned in Battersea.

So I went over the following morning to see it and IT WAS GOOD. I also don't know who else is going to be renting the other rooms yet, but he's asked me to look out for people, so I should have some sort of veto over who else lives there. And I will have a view of Battersea Power Station when I walk out of my front door.

_{EDIT: I really am in rambling mode tonight, aren't I? Sorry, it's been a long week...}

Hurrah!
Excellent news. I'm glad you got it sorted before you went away. Hope you have a good time in...wherever it is you're going (France? I may have made that up...)

'tis indeed France
Assuming you didn't look at my reply just above...how did you know? (Otherwise, good observation or a very good guess.)

And yes, my head feels noticeably lighter since I got the house sorted out. (Definitely not on account of the gin)

I'm stalking you
...no, not really. I think you mentioned it the other day when we were talking about spiders and giant scary bugs landing on you. I think that's it, anyway. If it's not, I'm either developing ESP or you should be vaguely worried...
