What a good day I've had. After the initial strong wish to see someone not seen recently I was unsure if I really wanted to go to the exhibition. Without my Captain Birds Eye friend now retired, I didn't have anyone else to tag along with me. I knew I would meet friends when I get there but it is like gate crashing a group. Close friends decide to go together and stay together and they are usually in couples so it is a little awkward to join in. As usual I was late leaving. I wanted to make sure everything was right at home. I was going to ring during the day to make sure Sickie didn't forget to eat his lunch and the dog was let out. Travelling wasn't too bad although it took longer than I expected.

As soon as I got there I met so many friendly faces and did so many different things that I didn't feel I was alone. I enjoyed it so much that I forgot my phone was turned off for one of the presentations and I didn't turn it back on. I didn't think about home or anyone else.

How selfish can you get? Is this an indication that your responsibilities, your routine or your care is limited to some boring or ordinary day to day living and the second something interesting and exciting comes along you forget the rest? I didn't even look at the time until it was time to come home. I know that Sickie and the dog have missed me. I feel guilty for not thinking about them for a whole day.

It was great to spend, in between all the hustle and bustle, a short but quality time with people I really wanted to be with. I was given the badge in a flashing red heart shape from the stall. Let's see if it still flashes till next time I see them.
