"Is that planet Earth?"

Astronaut Tim Peake rang his family on Christmas Eve from his space station just after midnight.
“Is that planet Earth?” he asked.
“No, it’s not,” snapped an angry woman and slammed the phone down.
Tim had called the wrong number.
This is one of many stories told by Tim today at Hay Festival. 
 No, we are not at the Festival but watching it online.

So far the experience is just as good, if not better than IRL (in real life).
As for the Festival atmosphere, am I missing all that rain and mud, the extortionate price of food on site or the eye-watering cost of accommodation? 
No.
But I do miss all those people one gets to chat to unexpectedly.
