Note to future self: wake up on time, especially when people are waiting on you. I could give you advice on things like the importance of wearing sunscreen, but this is probably just as important if you don't wish to look and feel like an idiot.
I usually have two devices that help me wake up when I should: the usual trusty alarm clock and the timer function on my radio. The trouble with this set up is that I have subconsciously learnt to override them. On this occasion I managed to switch the alarm off along with the snooze, then proceeded to use the radio to send myself back to sleep. The solution would be to get another alarm clock and place it somewhere else so I actually have to get out of bed, but then I'm afraid I might develop a sleepwalking routine where I switch off each of my fail safes and go back to bed.
Normally this doesn't matter too much but I was meant to go to a PR a fair way away and I don't exactly have the ability to teleport or wind back time. I guess I could easily blame them for setting such an early time... who gets up at 7am to play cards in the midst of the most prolonged heat wave we've seen in who knows how long? I could also blame my mobile phone for running out of battery rendering me completely impervious to communications, but really it's mostly my fault for enjoying my weekend sleepins a bit more than I should.
Here ends this note. Oh, one more thing future self: stop eating those cheap cup noodles from Aldi's. They may taste great, but they're probably very bad for you.
