The broad outlines of the plan exist: I leave here Friday evening, land in Cardiff the following morning, ideally with a supply of smoked eel, and spend the next six days in Swansea with Jo before retracing my steps.
All attempts to fill in the details are falling through, though. Bug and Simon's are going to Amanda's to New Year's, but we're going to be in Swansea then, and they probably won't be in Wales long enough to come visit. My mother has decided that Wales is too far for a day-trip, given that she'd have to add the Tube trip to Paddington before she even starts. We may go to the V&A, and if the weather is nice on a day with bus service, the beach.
Despite all this, I'm calm. If we do the V&A, Mom can meet us there. If I don't see Amanda, Dave, and Gordon, or Bug and Simon, this trip, there'll be another chance. The smoked eel is not essential.
But I really ought to call the airline and see if random shoe inspections mean I need to be at the airport earlier.
