I spent the last days doing nothing really; reading books, playing the odd computer game or enjoying a nice can of coffee while scanning the newspaper.

On Thursday, my girlfriend and I will be off to London, visiting my dear sister, who is, I am sure, more than thrilled to host us for the better of six days. For the flight, I’m putting some serious effort into acquiring a cheap but reliable portable mp3-player. I’ve been doing a lot of ebaying lately, and maybe tonight I’ll be lucky. Wish me luck. Because I need to be lucky…got it? GOT IT?
