"I love it when a plan comes together.."

re: Halloween trip.
Have a place to crash, have flights, even have transport to the airport (after a bout of insanity in which I found out - after booking - that public transport does not actually allow me to be in Eindhoven at 8 in the morning), have most of a passable costume (just needs a bunch of fake daggers and swords plus a decision if to wear trousers or full skirt underneath), have plans (O-bar/Satsuma trip on sunday, museum on monday, dunno about saturday yet) and have motivation.

In other words, I feel pretty good about the idea now.

I'm a bit confused about the British Museum though. Last time I went to the reading room and found a very useful book on Tuareg society; hoped to see it again this time. Except someone told me that all the books have moved to another building - where access is restricted. Does anyone know more about this? I could access the book I wanted without problem - is this no longer possible? Someone tipped me about requesting a research pass, but you have to give study details and all, and since this is for fiction research I doubt they'll go for that.

Feel pretty good about something else as well, but I'm not telling (yet) ;-)
