Am here! Brightwater, NZ (birthplace of Ernest Rutherford, to whom a rather unsettling bronze has been erected). Currently 5 degrees Celsius. Stayed up til bedtime, slept (with hotwater bottle) for 13 hours, woke to find that BT Mobile are crap:
"after checking your account it seems that the activation has not been done correctly I have now activated this again for you although it may not work until you are back in the UK as this must be done while you are still in Britain."

To do once back in UK:
- extort compensation
- switch mobile provider

Plans for today:
- chill
- have fun
- do Art

The ads on the front page of the site are all about panic.
