Death of a computer
Friday, April 10th, 2009Phew. Somehow I survived my first week in London, somehow being the operative word, because let’s just say things didn’t go entirely to plan
I had been looking forward to staying in the Hilton because I figured we might get nice rooms, so I was quite surprised when I checked in on Monday night to discover that it was the second worst hotel room I’ve ever stayed in in my entire life. The fact that it was only a single bed didn’t bother me, because I am perfectly happy sleeping in single beds, but the fact that the room was only wide enough for a single bed and so I didn’t even get a bedside table, was rather a disappointment.
