I was going to a surprise birthday party tonight.
I can tell you that it’s Sandra Cameron’s because it started an hour ago now, so no spoilers for her. She’s a darling of a woman and is infamous for winning the Best Boiled Egg cup in last years flower Show.
I know myself well, and as I hate walking into a gathering alone I had asked a friend from Trelawnyd to come with me, but alas they are unwell, and so I’ve decided not to go alone.
I’ve written a card and bought Sandra a pretty plant and dropped them at her house.

I'm surprised that you dislike entering a room full of people, some, if not most, of whom you know. But you know you, and I'm sure Sandra will appreciate the card and plant anyway. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised too that you didn't go, but as hh said, you know you. I don't suppose those brutal shifts helped with your energy level either. XO
ReplyDeleteBut once you walked in you'd be surrounded by friends and neighbors?!?
ReplyDeleteSurely Chic Eleanor would have happily joined you? When I say "joined", I do not mean a literal physical connection because that would be a very impudent suggestion.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame, John. I can understand the feeling. Sometimes that’s easy for some and not so easy for others.
ReplyDeleteCan understand completely
ReplyDeleteI would feel the same but if I thought that there would be people there I knew well I may possibly hoik up the big pants and dive in.
ReplyDeleteyes, agreed..even if I didn't stay long
DeleteMaybe another time it would have felt ok to walk in your own , but it clearly didn’t feel right this evening and that’s ok . xx
