dizzojayI mentioned in an earlier post that I'd had a social occasion on Friday.
In fact, it was a hen night for a colleague.
For most of us it was our first social gathering for well over a year, and it felt so good - so amazingly normal - to be happy around people again, to hug and laugh. It was outdoors under a gazebo, and even the weather played nice for a change! The venue was only ten miles from my home, but so that I could have a drink and let my hair down, I booked into a hotel for the night, and that felt fantastically normal too!
I was also thrilled because after my recent weight-loss adventure, I could get into a lovely blouse/skirt combo that I haven't been able to wear for years!
Lisa, the lady on the right is the one getting married at the end of June.
This one was taken at the end of the evening ... it shows, doesn't it!
