Tube Ride Down the Rabbit Hole
This morning, during the Tube strike, I took the District line to work and actually arrived half an hour earlier than usual at work.
At night, when the Tube strike was supposed to be over, I walked for miles trying to find an empty bus because none of them had enough space for me and all the supposedly functioning Tube stations were locked shut.
At least the launch for our festival went really well tonight: we had about 60 people despite the terrible Mondayness of it all. The poet enjoyed himself, the organisers were happy and my boss congratulated me on getting the high commissioner for the poet's country to attend. We are all feeling so much more positive and hopeful that the marketing and press is finally working and things will turn out OK this month.

It was this poet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linton_Kwesi_Johnson). I unfortunately missed the reading because I was taking care of the book stand but I met him afterwards and he was a really nice guy - gave me a free DVD of one of his shows!
