Random thoughts are dangerous. Today I saw that tomorrow is the premiere of the new Harry Potter movie in London. Thousands are expected to be there. And I decided that since I have a week of holiday now, I could just as well go there and see it, I really want to in fact. Not that I'd get into the premiere, of course, but just to stand there, catch a glimpse of the actors and JKR, and to see the whole randomness of it. A bus there and back would be 44 pounds from Edinburgh. And it would go overnight, non-stop. I could leave in 6 hours, arriving in London at 7 tomorrow morning. The premiere is open for gathering at 15.00. And I could catch a late bus back so that I won't have to find a place to stay. Which would make it a very expensive round-trip. Or I could stay, but then I'd have to leave again very soon afterwards to be back here on Tuesday...
The more I think about it, the more I really want to do this. And yet I know that it isn't possible. To get to Edinburgh I would have to take the bus to Leuchars, and then the train. So I would have to leave in 3 hours. And arrange, pack etc everything before then. No way I would manage. And yet I feel so stupid for not thinking about this about 24 hours earlier.


So in fact, we're screwed. Once we stop running in circles and run straight ahead, we really just run the bigger circle. Hmpf.

I guess I better stop running in circles now and sort my stuff out. Tonight I'll either be here or on my way to London. I love the randomness of it, and yet my disorganisation apalls me...
