What a productive day! Bought the bathroom flooring, taken delivery of the new shower, and only gone and got the flipping Radiohead tickets!!
You may recall from earlier chapters that wife and I were both rejected from the "random selection" draw for who was allowed to apply for tickets. I'm sure they didn't look up our contact details on the dark web and filter us out for being too old, oh no. Somehow T1 got through, so we had one chance. He had school during the ticket window, but he left us logged in on his email and bravely left his phone here, and we managed to get tickets. Didn't go for the "good" days of Friday or Saturday and didn't go for standing tickets, assuming they'd sell out first. We went for prime seating tickets and have paid through the actual nose, with the fees etc. Still, we're going.
Nephews also going, same day, similar tactics, except they did get standing tickets. I don't know where our seats are, but being in the most expensive section I hope they're good. We're fairly near the front we think.
I had dentist this morning, that didn't cost me much, so good. I have put in for another week of on call, that will pay for approximately one ticket I think. If T1 valets our car about twenty times that pays for his.
We're taking him shopping tomorrow, before the Suede gig, for new clothes. A pre-planned treat. Maybe he'll say "oh I don't want much, as you just got me that Radiohead ticket"... Maybe.
Maybe I'll not go to the pub tonight to save another twenty quid or so. Maybe 1.
Sunny intervals and a fresh breeze, 12 - 16℃.
