Surely there's an iPhone appl that will tell you which tube entrance
and exit to use, which carriage to sit in, wake you up and tell you
that you've missed your connection by 30 secs?

I am sorry to say I am not going to be able to make it after all, mainly
because I've fumbled the juggling of a series of deadlines around the
completion of a huge work project. So there goes my frikkin Ethiopian
Friday.

Sorry about that. Have fun anyway, and I will try for the next one.

Good point. I actually have two iPhone tube apps, I just forgot about
them. Don't know how reliable they are for timing though - much prefer a
bit of local knowledge :)

That's sad. Especially as the original discovery of the Merkato was
yours. See you next time.

Afraid there's a possibility I might be unable to make it either. I know
I've ducked out at the last minute before, so feel I out to explain...
We've just started the IVF injections again and didn't think ahead - if
Han isn't comfortable self-injecting after tomorrow's attempt, I may
have to stay in on Friday to do it for her. She doesn't really trust
anyone else to do it for her.

If I don't make it, raise a glass to our hopeful success, yeah?
