Someday we'll go round the world

I'll make the journey so sublime,
I know you're not a travelling girl...
- Some nonsense by Scissor Sisters

Only I am a travelling girl of course, so I don't know why I feel this wobbly.

I'm almost all packed. Strange how different it feels this time, case instead of carry-all, contract all ready to rock and roll. Two weeks away, I'll be seeing friends and having such a good time, reunited with larians for his mum's and sister's birthdays, seeing more friends I hope, getting used to the work and ending up at the Beltane Bash. Like old times maybe. Can't be, can it? No such thing as going back really. I wonder if the London I recall has missed me? We shall see.

It should be like a fab holiday but somewhere in the gritty recesses of my packing head it feels serious and important. Perhaps it is the thought of 14 days away from the kitties, perhaps I am just surprised at the change.

See you in a fortnight, lj world. Try to stay out of trouble - remember what those cops told you;-)

Addendum: Why have I packed 4 pairs of shoes for two weeks?

You don't want to KNOW how many pairs of shoes I've crammed in my holiday suitcase. Wishing you luck, confidence, charisma, joie de vivre, exhuberance, security, happiness and lots of other nice things. J works away a lot and it makes for many romantic goodbyes and happy reunions so don't worry. I'm afraid to say kitties will notice you're gone only if dinner is a little later than usual. And as for "going back"; I thought I would never "go back" to Brum, place of so many happy times and heartbreaks. But time passes and it doesn't seem so scary after all. Its new but familiar - hoping you find a similar happy place. And now I'll shut up!!

We've missed you!

ONLY four pairs of shoes? I can't get through a weekend with less than that!

London keeps little fragments of everyone thats ever been there or lived there tucked away within itself like footprints, and while it may change over time in suprising ways those bits are all still there.
At least the weather has been decent here for a change though :)
