Edinburgh

*yawns*

It's been a slightly restless week for me this week. I've not been working, and have instead been sorting out bits and pieces relating to college, shuttling jez to hospital and fracture clinics*, and trying to get the forms for my conservation course next year sorted. I'm actually vaguely looking back to being at work (presuming another temp job comes up) relatively soon, although with a combination of me having to drive jez to the fracture clinic on Monday, going to meet kittens on Wednesday, and going to get a tattoo touched up on Friday it looks like I won't be working next week either.

In other news, I am also about to head up to Edinburgh. Well, not as in 'leave today', but I will be in Edinburgh this weekend for cristobel's wedding. It's an odd feeling. A bit of me is excited at the prospect of seeing Susan married, and hopefully meeting up with Corsie and Tina and other such good people and a bit of me is really rather nervous. I've not set foot in that city for over two years, not since I left in a bit of a state, and it's got some bad memories for me. I'm hoping that I'll lay some ghosts to rest, but I'm being possibly exaggeratedly careful.

Anyway, I'm mostly going up for Susan's wedding, so hopefully I'll see a nice selection of people then, but I'm also meeting Corsie and Tina for Sunday lunch on...well...Sunday. We're meeting up at 1 pm at Vittorias, so if anyone wants to come along then, I'd love to see folks.

And now, onward! I have a wedding present to buy and I am finding it rather tricky. I'm hoping that Greenwich may prove my friend in my shopping endeavours.

Wish me luck!

Very much looking foward to seeing you, hon. Was kinda hoping that NewBike would be on the road by then, and I could take you for a run, but it won't be ready for it's MOT until sometime next week at the earliest. :(

:(

Seeing you is enough. Am actually quite excited about that.

Good. :)

And I'm quite sure that everything will be fine and there will be no nasty emotional explosions. It's not such a big thing to come back for a visit, so don't build it up in your mind as being big potential trauma, or it will be a gigantic anti-climax, I'm sure. ;)

Is it really two years?

Wow. Time flies.

Go up there with the attitude it will be fine. I'm sure it will.

It is. I did the maths a little while ago. When I worked out what has happened for me in that time, that actually makes sense - I've travelled around South America, done half a masters, and moved house three times - to Reading, to Oxford, to London. But yeah...time does fly.

I'm being optimistic. I think I'm mostly ready to go back - realistically the bad memories are all in the past. I don't think any of it is really relevent to anyone any more, and should probably be left to be buried, and I'm really looking forward to seeing those folks that I have missed.

Oh - and your house in Tokyo looks very cool.

Thank you!

I'm looking forward to picking out Stupid Designer Furniture TM ;)

Good luck :) And have fun, and the worst won't actually happen. If it does, I'll give you 50p. Ok?

I'll see you on Sunday!

[annwfyn.livejournal.com]

I shall see you then. You know, dinner with you at Vittorias was the last thing I did before I left Edinburgh. There's a kind of cycle in action, I think.

Sally, sweety, I thought you'd stopped beating your boyfriend. "We're getting the kittens and that's final!."
