The beauty of airports
I'm exhausted and soaked in sweat from... zipping my bag up.

It's kind of humid today.

Fortunately for my dislike of this weather, we're flying to Britain this evening, where it will (I hope) be chilly. I'll be there for the next three weeks, mostly in Cardiff with a brief excursion to London and a brief excursion to Lancaster. If you want to see me and we don't have plans, email.

[info]zorinth is of course coming with me, and his girlfriend is coming with him. It'll be her first time going, well, anywhere really, and we hope to show her some interesting places.

I'll have email, but I won't be online very much. You probably won't notice much difference, as I notice I hardly posted last week, a busy fun week in which I went to Kingston, saw Leonard Cohen in concert, and melted in the heat. You'll notice "fixing the end of the novel" is not in that list, but it's on the to-do list, and every day I was actively not doing it. I am taking Caliban II to Britain, and may fix it there. I may even do a research trip to the location where it happens... gosh, that'll be a fun European location for Z's girlfriend's first trip.

So, we're packed, we're ready, we're leaving this afternoon.

Travel safely. I'll see you when you get home. (I know I will, because I just hit "Purchase Tickets" on the airline website.)

Well, it depends how you define chilly, but here in Glasgow we haven't seen anything over 20°C since one glorious week in May. Of course, things are different Down South ...

It's certainly cool here in North Wales. I'm wearing a long sleeved T-shirt and light cardigan. And that's indoors. :)

Ack - I didn't realize missing that last Fringe show meant I likely won't see you 'til nearly August (I'm off to NYC for a week on the 22nd.) Well, have fun!

Fixing the end of the novel? Whoa. I didn't know it was broken. I feel dumb; what did I miss?

Anyway, have a great time!

Needs dinosaurs.

No, seriously a lot of people thought the end happened too fast or needed rebalancing, and I have thought of a great fix for it which unfortunately I can't do.

Huh. I guess I cd see that--but I liked the emotional pacing so much as was. Well, whatever you do will no doubt intensify the enjoyment.

Things always go better with dinosaurs, don't they?

Yay Cardiff! Wave Hi to the Doctor Who/Torchwood studios for me, will you?

I believe there's some rain coming in from the Atlantic to greet you. You'll probably pass over it before it passes over you.
