London in July... The Old Winter Palace in December
An old friend put me in contact with a nice guy who rents flats in London. I made a deposit. It's Southwark, but it has broadband, cable and a tube station close by. It's been a long time since I've been to England and I'm thrilled to go back. Hopefully not much has changed. I'm taking the girls with me and for half of the brood it will be their first time.
I had to restrict the trip to London and had to promise to not go around over exerting myself. I would have promised much and denied them little as long as I got the OK to leave. I guess it's my own fault - after Patagonia I got sick again because I was too me and not enough them.
I can't help thinking that if I get out of here I'll get better. I know it makes little sense to most people, but it makes perfect sense to me. I don't know many people who are like me, but the ones who are will understand the torture that is being in the same place day after day for years now. I don't care if I can't travel alone this time - as long as I can travel.
And one question... SPAM on LJ?! I've had people I don't know making stupid comments on my posts. After so long this neck of the woods gets trolled?
I'm staying in London for a fortnight and am dying over not making it to Dublin - even though Dublin is making it to London to stay with me. The friends from Dublin, not the whole town.
And next year I'm doing August in Edinburgh.
But for now I'm just over the moon. I'm packing again. Thank G'd.
