Travelling to Melbourne part 1

[blamebrampton]

Should you, as I am wont to do, misplace your Swiss Army knife, do not spend half an hour cleaning out your large handbag at 2 in the morning. You won't find it.

Instead, run said handbag through an airport security screening and rely on your natural charm and perpetual air of mad scientist to have the staff gently inform you of the knife's presence, while suggesting you could go back out and check your laptop bag, even pointing the way towards the express check-in lane where they can help you immediately.

If I actually was half the mad scientist I often look, I would have invented cold fusion by now, dammit!

Still, surprise jaunt underway, plane scheduled to leave on time, two lunches and a drinks sorted, looking forward to seeing dear RL friend, meredyth and pushdragon. Cats left in possession of food and water enough to last 36 hours, J same.  And I sent my much-delayed AS/S fest story off for final editing last night. Now all that remains is to meet up with right people at right times, find new coat and see exhibition!

Nah, you'd have a cat. Monster climbed into my laptop pack and was very cross to be evicted. I have been told that I would have been even better received had I come bearing kitten ...
