Chapter 26, in which j4 gets older

[j4]

It's that time of year again. I will be celebrating my birthday, or at least using it as an excuse to talk to people and drink nice beer:

Date: 8th May 2004 Place: The Carlton Arms Time: I'll be there from 5pm onwards (and we have an extension, so that's quite a lot of "onwards")

Other info:

We're playing the 'private party' aspect by ear (because the people who run the Carlton are cool like that); if the weather's nice and everybody ends up outside anyway then there will be no point in making it 'private'.

The pub serves food. If enough people look like they're going to be coming, I will probably try to organise some sort of buffet as well.

Please let me know if you're planning on coming. Really, I know RSVPs are boring, and I know I'm dreadful at doing them, but please do. :)

There will be some bedspace/crashspace available but we don't have as much of it as we used to. Ask if you need it.

Feel free (but not obliged) to bring partner(s), friends, siblings, badgers, etc. Especially badgers.

I already know some people can't make this date, & I'm sorry; I'm not trying to exclude you, but this is literally the only date in May that I can do!

Email if you need more information.

Could you let your mother make her own way to central London and then meet her outside the nearest tube station?

Heathrow - London can be done via the Picadilly line, the Heathrow Express (train service to Paddington), bus or taxi.

The Heathrow Express is easy to get to from the terminal eg. there are lifts and no steps onto the train - so she ought to be able to manage that if she doesn't have too much luggage. The tube'd be a bit more tricky for her, but still doable unless she's really laden with bags - or you could make your way to Paddington and meet her there - I'm sure that's doable by bus.

I know how to get to Heathrow - I just don't think that I can, and I'm fairly sure that she'll want to be met in the airport.
