Outward Facing

 Jean and I went and sat in the courtyard to eat our lunch in a rare moment when the sun came out. Everybody else stayed indoors. "Wimps" I thought.

 We were celebrating Ailz's 70th and George Fox's 400th.  It went well. There was bunting, there was cake. 

I was in outward facing mode all day long- first at the Meeting House then with two pairs of visitors. The first two were Bea and Tanya who came down from Tonbridge on Bea's motorbike; they used to be my mother's carers. The second pair were Odi and Ben, who have spent the night here- having been up in London most of the day, going wild at the Notting Hill carnival....

I grew up unsociable but these days I can slip into sociability without effort.  I'm not shy any more.  I enjoy going Rah, rah, rah  but am always happy to stop....
