Reply to Åke Nilsson
I would give them my practical limits first, then let them choose within those. Could we agree a finishing time? Leaving the route to someone else need not mean leaving every detail unspoken.

On “Let a friend plan our sketching outing”, I might just watch the first time. I do not want an invitation that turns into pressure once I arrive. I need to allow for this: I cannot commit to every week.

I do not need everyone to choose the same version. I want to keep “Let a friend plan our sketching outing” manageable for the people involved. Then watching needs to remain an option throughout. I should make the invitation match that, rather than say it only to get someone through the door.

On “Let a friend plan our sketching outing”, I would also like to find a shaded walking route close to home. For me, I cannot commit to every week.

I would like a friend to choose an affordable local outing for us, with a place to sit and draw trees. I will give the budget and available time, then leave the route to them. We can share vegan snacks under whatever branches they find.
Reply to Yuki Mori
Yuki Mori, could we keep the activity off other social platforms altogether? I would rather enjoy it than document it.
Reply to Åke Nilsson
Åke Nilsson, yes. Sharing a wish does not mean every later moment has to become content. We can decide what stays between the people taking part.
Reply to Yuki Mori
For this wish, Yuki Mori: I would join the conversation again when the practical details are clearer. No promises beyond that yet. I would also like to find a shaded walking route close to home.

That is enough. I can come back with a clearer arrangement and let people decide then, rather than treat interest as attendance. That is how I see “Let a friend plan our sketching outing”.
