Off to the island in the silver sea....

This is why I love my flist: commenting on my Elizabeth-Scarlett comparison, Yahtzee wrote Pirate!Scarlett O'Hara fanfic.

In other news, today shall be spent packing suitcases for my three-weeks-on-the-road-through-England trip. During which time I'll be stopping at Stratford-upon-Avon to see Patrick Stewart perform Shakespeare. If anything else happens, I shall endeavour to write travel reports and get online, but I have the Aged Parent with me, which severely limits computer time. So, save for the occasional report and/or brief tag, see you all in September!

Just short

[bimo.livejournal.com]

As you're about to leave for your trip to England, just a short question from your (slightly paranoid) Doctor Who supplier...

Did you get the parcel with early Doctors/Davison episodes? I'm afraid I must have sent it to you at a point of time when you were already in Bamberg, and by now I've started wondering whether you ever received it at all.

Plus, since you were having so much fun with the Multiverse ficathon, I figured that you also might enjoy a short glimpse at the underlying physics ...

Where quantum physics meet sci-fi ;-)

I received them - I was in Munich for a day before Bayreuth, and so could collect them - but alas the parental situation prevented me from watching more than the first two installments of "Kinda". (I can claim the DVD player, no problem, but watching stuff on my laptop brings my mother after the first hour telling me this is not good for the eyes and wouldn't I rather be outside...)

Thanks for the link!

Have a great time. From your itinerary I think you'll end up seeing more of the UK than I have *g*.

I am right in thinking that you're travelling all the way here by car aren't I, because flights in and out of the UK are severely delayed at the moment!

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Yes, we're going by car, and I so hope my mother doesn't watch the news until we go, because that's how our England trip got derailed last time...

[kathyh]

Keep the TV remote control away from her or tell her that altering your trip lets terrorists win!

[gelliaclodiana]

I was wondering the same thing -- this is clearly not a good time to be traveling by plane, but you should be fine going by car.

Have a wonderful time -- I'm very sorry that we won't be able to meet up.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Thank you, and so am I. Ah, that timing...

[shezan.livejournal.com]

No chance of you coming back through France, huh?

(And only one Aged Parent?)

[shezan.livejournal.com]

... seriously. I have room here for both you and the AP.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Thank you, and we do cross France, but we already booked our ferry, and the AP is very fixed on the time table. However, on the way back (Sep. 1st), I'll ask him whether he can't make a detour to Paris!

(And yes, just one AP - my mother is going to a spa/wellness thing in the meantime...)

[shezan.livejournal.com]

September 1st and the days after would work fine, too!

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

Have a great trip and, guh, stratford! Stewart!

Yes, umm, great trip.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Thanks.*g*

[eirena.livejournal.com]

Have a wonderful trip, honey. *hugs* I'm especially looking forward to seeing the reports from Stratford, as I kind of love the country around there.

[eirena.livejournal.com]

oh, PS: in light of recent events, please be careful. *Hugs*

[selenak.livejournal.com]

I will be. Though like I said, thankfully we're travelling by car, not by plane. Whew. And that was sheer coincidence - I always take the plane to England otherwise, but my father who is coming with me wanted to drive his own car, not a hired one. He's looking somewhat smug now. Which could also be because we finished packing and are set to go at 5.am tomorrow!

Beautiful Elizabeth icons!

[londonkds.livejournal.com]

Oooh, enjoy Patrick Stewart!

[selenak.livejournal.com]

It will be hard, but I shall try my best.*g*

(Seriously, I will have to contain myself because the AP has no idea Mr. Stewart is anything but a Shakesperaean actor. He's, shall we say, not the fandom type - either Trek or X-Men.)

[pjferret.livejournal.com]

Have a great time. I'm insanely jealous. One of these days I'll make it to England.

And be careful. Things are looking pretty crazy right now, travel-wise. I'll keep good thoughts for you.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

I'm just relieved we're going by car instead of flying. Also, hopefully the countryside isn't as crazy as London...

[honorh.livejournal.com]

*mopes* Fine. Go off to England and watch Patrick Stewart and listen to The Voice in person. Just when I was gonna have a big chunk o'time to watch more BSG, too. *Sigh*

*has pity party 'cause I can't see Patrick, too*

[selenak.livejournal.com]

*pets* One day. Hopefully when it's save to fly. Am I ever glad we're taking the car.

Also: watch more BSG anyway!
