Half-moving to London

[ciphergoth]

Now that this has been discussed privately with all the relevant parties, I can make An Announcement.

All being well, I'm moving to London.

Well, sort of. I'm half moving to London. Most likely, I'm half-moving-in with ergotia and lilithmagna sometime around December or January.

I've wanted to move to London for ages - I'm always travelling there to see those two, and I have family and so many friends there that I don't get to see nearly enough of. However, I can't persuade purplerabbits to come with me, and in any case there are so many good people and things I'd be leaving behind - including, of course, that I legally own a flat up here.

So the solution seems to be to get a pad in London and divide my time fairly evenly between there and here, perhaps spending two weeks in each location before returning to the other. I'm able to do this because I work from home, so as long as there's broadband to hook my laptop up to, I'm away.

The original plan was to move in with kitty_goth and pure_mourning, but purplerabbits suggested that it might make more sense to move directly in with ergotia and lilithmagna, rather than constantly travelling halfway across London to see them. And I know I've complained about the state of their flat more than once, but if I lived there, I could do something about it. Furthermore, we've agreed that the rent that I pay will be ringfenced for flat improvements - and that sort of money can effect a lot of change very quickly.

We've still to work out some details, and though ergotia's daughter has been told about the plan and has indicated she's likely to assent, she'd rather we waited 'till she's moved out so the exact timing isn't clear, but the plan is there.

More, of course, in this LJ when I know it.

I'm looking forward so much to seeing more of so many of you!
