Holidays

I have a week off work from May 22-26 (it's the week between lectures ending and exams beginning) - does anyone fancy a daytime visit/excursion? I'm happy to come down to London, or across to Peterborough, or any direction available by straightforward public transport.

It's tempting - but train then bus does tend to screw up my back, so I'm a bit wary of that. It would be a useful data point though. Overnight would be sensible, but does seem silly to spend a night away from MC when I may be off for six weeks with TAFF then he's off for 4 months with work... but visiting would be good.

Off to work now.

If I've got the car, I'd be able to pick you up from the station. It's just that I can't predict more than a week in advance what days Richard is working.

If you can check days about a week beforehand, then we might be able to find one with car availabliity. (Mondays and Tuesdays are statistically the most likely)

I'd really love to see you.

This is looking doable! My mother is visiting on the Monday, my first preference would be be staying over Wednesday night, my second preference the Tuesday night (missing Tai Chi). Poole is the closest station to you?

Tues would be my preference. I've one pupil on Tuesday (3.30 - 4.30) and two on Wednesday (4.00-6.30). I can't easily cancel lessons as it's exam time of year and hence not fair on the pupils, so Tuesday means I only have to ask you to go and read a book for an hour.

Asking you to vanish for over 2 hours would seem really mean. (If you don't mind missing two hours, then I've no preference, but I'd like to see as much of you as possible while you're here)

Poole is the closest station. I could take a bus in and meet you at the station if it turns out to be a carless day. Much easier than you trying to navigate buses in a strange town.
