Eyjafjallajökull

[winter]

So, on Saturday I have Ryanair tickets that were supposed to take me to Edinburgh to see a certain bearded Welshman in a certain adaptation of a Victor Hugo novel. I also have a mini-coach trip booked to Skye while I'm there, and generally a week of entertainment all planned. (Oh, and picking up my Maki Ichiro Sayonara Book of Doom). Right now Monday flights are decidedly cancelled - and everything else is up in the air because the bloody volcano is still spewing out dust. I am very, very annoyed.

(On the other hand, according to his Twitter, said bearded Welshman is currently stuck in Egypt... lose/lose?)

Yes, how dare nature interfere with our plans! It's very inconsiderate of her.

(It's funny, when you stop to think about it, how we so blithely assume we're the ones running the show on this planet - until Mother Nature gives us a reminder we can't ignore about who's really in charge of things.)

Sorry to hear the eruptions have derailed your vacation. Could you do some last-minute planning for a week of fun not involving air travel? It might make you feel a bit better. You definitely deserve to have a fun vacation!

I fear that if I just took the time off, I'd end up sleeping it through ~_~ Though I could use the study time...

Nothing wrong with sleeping! Or studying, either. But what I had in mind was more along the lines of a week sightseeing in some place that you could reach by train or boat.
