I might have an opportunity to get away from home for a few days in mid/end of August while my parents visit to hold the fort. I have no idea what to do with them and I fear my going-away muscle may have dried up and dropped off from underuse - the idea of having to plan a thing to do is slightly filling me with cold dread. Which is saddening because until the opportunity arose I felt frustrated at other people's managing to get away and do stuff and vexed at having to turn down any offers of visits that came my way and all that. And now I don't know what to do. In August it'll have been about sixteen months since I last spent a night away from home and two years since I had an extended stay away and basically I think I've forgotten how to do it. That's gratitude for you.

(Also I don't know how to choose. I have quite a few long-standing invites to reachable places, and a friend who wants me to go to the south of France with her so we can pretend to be Bertie Wooster, and there have been mentions of Ireland and Sark as well. Then again, I know more people in London than anywhere else, so a couple of nights there would make most sense, and then maybe a couple of nights having a visit somewhere else. But I need to get into a frame of mind where I can think of these things without my stomach contracting.)

OMG, I quite empathise. It suddenly occurred to me that Mouse and I could go and visit my sister over the summer, and there was something faintly terrifying about the whole idea.

However, if you do make it to London (a) you're welcome to make it further into deepest darkest Kent and visit me, but (b) I won't be offended if that is Far Too Much To Ask and (c) I shall do my utmost, if you don't object, to meet you in London in that case (though being August, it'll probably be with obnoxious nearly-5-year old)...

If I ever get over myself and if I'm in the vicinity of course I'd be delighted to meet you and Mouse. I shall keep you informed.

Hello! We would totally love ot see you in August because WE LOVE YOU and things, but we are possibly all attempting to move out then, so it might not be the best of times to catch us. This is the only reason I am not commenting and DEMANDING YOUR LOVE, in case you were wondering for why.

Yes, I was thinking you were all a bit NEBULOUS position wise around that time, but I would love to see you also. If you have a new abode around that time you can let me know and I'll maybe come and invade it and get in the way while you're trying to unpack boxes.

I want to go and see Henry VIII at the Globe in August. Want to come? It's an excellent sumer afternoon activity. If not then perhaps we could still manage to coincide somewhat.

If I do end up visiting London that'd be a great thing to do, yes.
