That's not really a hold (A slight change of plans!)

On Saturday night I had some friends around watching rock climbing films. One
in particular, E11 was about a Scottish guy trying to complete the first
grade e11 (the scale previously went up to e10) free climb. On one of his
practice runs to learn the moves, he accidentally ripped off what he thought was
the crux hold (the one that gets you through the hardest move of the climb).
In true spirit he still managed to get up there anyway somehow, but I've had
my own hold ripped off

So with the dodgy segue out of the way, I got an
email this morning from the travel agent saying Malaysian had cancelled all
unpaid holds on tickets on my flight even though it was meant to last till the
end of May. Luckily and oddly there was still tickets left on the 6th of July, so that's my new departure date (assuming that doesn't get cancelled too, but it's paid and everything now). It lacks the easy
rememberability of the 4th of July, but at least its still close and still gives me a near full 4 months of travelling minimum.
