7.00 - Alarm clock goes off.
7.02 - Lady V is wooed out of bed with soft 'totty' whispers. She groans. I get into the shower.
7.17 - I slip out of the shower, fully cleansed and ready to conquer
7.23 - Lady V stumbles down the stairs, hangover and moaning about her life.
7.24 - Lady V gets a good talking to.
7.25 - Lady V and myself, fully reconciled, set off towards PDF & M's house.
7.38 - We arrive at PDF & M's house and discover M's been puking all night due - allegedly - to evil shrimp in her dinner. Slight panic at the idea of 2 crucial pairs of hands now unavailable, but we recover soon remembering we have the master of double-fisting with us, so surely he must be good at double-typing...
7.47 - Coffee. Mmmmmm...
8.01 - Lady V, PDF and I set off towards G's office.
8.15 - First wake-up call for Bogart, who is incapable of emitting any sound except for a sinister gurgle.
8.23 - We arrive at G's office.
8.37 - We are now fully positioned, 1 laptop and 1 phone each, ready to fight.
8.42 - We start checking the Glastonbury Festivals' website, which has already crashed. Slight panic, easily kept under control.
8.45 - Second wake-up call for Bogart, who is now able to curse back. Good sign.
8.55 - We are now in full-swing clicking mode, trying to get passed the www.seetickets.com frontpage, which won't even load. Phone in the other hand redialling the ticket office number.
9.10 - We are still quite chirpy, but no luck.
9.32 - Still quite chirpy, but still no luck. Beginning to hate the BT woman's voice telling us she won't charge us for the phone call.
9.46 - Bogart calls to inform that she's read blogs that say people have got hold of tickets. Slight panic, which does not however demoralise the troops, but actually makes them focus better on the task.
10.12 - Not much chirpyness left. In fact, panic is now spreading rapidly. I start checking random sites for possible clues about how to get passed the www.seetickets.com page, which still refuses to load. I get to the Glastonburyfestivals MySpace profile, and read some exchanges between people who have managed to buy the tickets. One of them reveals the crucial secure connection web-address, which allows us to move bypass the Seetickets frontpage and move onto the second tier.
10.28 - After relentlessly refreshing the webpage, I eventually crack it exactly at the same time as Bogart.
10.34 - 8 tickets + 1 car park pass have been purchased. A further one is snapped up by M, who has heroically dragged herself out of bed and to the sofa. By 10.44 all of us have tickets to Glastonbury.
The joy is immense. The expectation overwhelming.
