Survival List

Day Three. Seriously tired, my eyes are tiny slits. Got to brekkie at 9.30 am but still managed to force down four tiny croissants. So bleary that I managed to misorder tickets. Now I have four tickets for Sunday; back to back. Remember:

1. Toilet breaks and sleeping all have to be factored in.
2. Listen and speak clearly to the nice lady at the ticket office.
3. When ordering tickets at short notice have up to six extra choices in case your first choice is booked out.
4. By the third day at the Comedy Festival you will begin to hear things (Saturday sounds a lot like Sunday).
5. By the fourth day you may want to kill yourself.


This is the brekkie from Riva Cafe, opposite the Causeway Inn on the Mall. It was great, fresh and tasty, complete with slice of Kransky sausage. How appropriate! Ten out of ten for flexibility. I came in a few minutes after they had closed their breakfast orders.
