Random: One of those days

Did you have one of those days where you were so wound up that you simply wanted to kick a wall repeatedly, and you didn’t know why?

I’m having one of those days.

I thought of taking the mites to the Natural History Museum, but realised today is Saturday. The day of mad crowds. Thought of going to the V&A Childhood Museum or the V&A itself, but loads of kids and parents will be there at both places.

The mood I’m in, I can’t tolerate crowds at the moment. Especially when we travel on tube. I know I’ll be so snappy that I’ll chew the top of someone’s head, just to take the edge off my edginess.

I don’t want to stay in, either. Aargh. Where to go? I’m seriously tempted to take a trip to Brighton, to the seaside. This surprises me, actually. Having grown up in a coastal village, I don’t like the sea. But for some reason, I want to be near the sea. The sounds and the smell. I just want to be there today.

Hm, might be a good idea to go to one of places next to the River Thames. Or go to Sheppey? It’s a horrid place, but it’s next to the sea. I wonder if Eel Pie Island is still open to the public? It would be awesome if it was as we could walk around a bit. I don’t care where, I just want to be near a body of water and that’s where we are going today.
