I know some folk were there in person.

Not I. I'd pessimistically [1] booked a cottage, but cancelled it; but I

know at least a few people were there.
[1] the most likely scenario where I'd get to go seemed to be one where
things were so fucked it wouldn't represent significant additional risk.

And now, a seemingly inexplicable shot of a passing train.
Today is Teleute, November.
Tomorrow will be Oneiros, November.

possible to stay in a cottage in Whitby but not permissible to travel to
Whitby in order to do so. I won't even get into how many times I have
already had to rearrange it due to annual leave at work.
I understand the 'fuckedness' thresholds though. Such is pandemic life.

I suspect it'll become clear I can do both at the exact point it is too

Clown shoes. I hope that doesn't bother you.
Today is Saturday, March - a weekend.
Tomorrow will be Sunday, March - a weekend.

to go wrong at one end or another, and if I have to mail order stuff
from Whitby Deli and have fish and chips at home I shall.
I think it will make the rebirth Whitby all the more special, but
goodness knows when that will be - probably this October, but who can be
sure? If dates do need to be rearranged into 2022 it would be helpful to
know when they were so things could be moved again.
If we're allowed to holiday but only within local authority or
healthboard areas I suspectg Whitby will do well with re-offering
places, and I can only hope that past experiences with hasty reshuffling
of WGW dates have been helpful here.

April. The dates for travel are opening after the weekend itself, and
even then may be limited to local authority or other area.
