4 miles this morning to make up for the CBA last night. It’s probably nearly as cold today but it doesn’t seem so bad in the daylight.

Ran through the giant fruit tree tents today (most of the material is rolled up this time of the year).

Urghh, that a horrible situation McG ..

Carp - we go to CP @ Longleat and it would be lovely to run around there (and challenging due to the hills). But we have our grand-daughters in tow (7 & 9) so I don't get too much time to myself (apart from being 'treated' to an Aqua Sana session for looking after them the rest of the time).

Sorry, must have taken so long to type that I missed your post Carp.
Tough situation. If it helps (probably not!), I reckon everyone's felt like that some time, and a lot of us feel like that most of the time. In fact, half the people there will be thinking about how they're coming across so much that they either don't notice how you're doing; or they'll be watching the outgoing you and thinking "I wish I was that confident"/watching the withdrawn you and thinking "I'm such a dick, that's why she doesn't want to spend time with me". The only ones who don't think they're dicks are the super-confident ones who usually *are* dicks. I don't know you in RL, but you're virtually-speaking a lovely person who deserves a nice weekend in CP ((()))

Lots to catch up with

Carp - you're doing better than me, I would have found an excuse not to go! You are a lovely person on here and IRL and Yumee said it well :) :)

Oh McG, poor Leibling. She will be exhausted, some fresh air would probably be a nice change - Winter Tanners sounds like a bit of an ask though!

Paula - that looks amazing, rather jealous!

I agree with Yumee, too, Carp.

Hope Liebling is OK, McGoohan. I’m sure you will take good care of her
once she gets home.

Hugs to Leibling and you as well McGoo.

Carp - I have horrendous social situations insecurity. I always analyse my and everyone else's behaviour to see if I screwed up a social interaction or not. I like the quote "we would worry less about what others think of us, if we realized how seldom they do". Seems harsh, but I think there is a ring of truth. FWIW you came across as lovely at Pie day :-)

Yumee put it perfectly Carp - hope you have a lovely time.

McG hope you have some quality "you two" time this weekend. It's shit dealing with all these issues.

On that note, I may not get my run in tonight 1)because I am shattered, 2) foot hurts a bit, 3) need to go and see mum
