Over the past couple of weeks I've been through a multitude of family gatherings; a birth, a funeral and a wedding - though the wedding was my sister-in-law's friend and I was the photographer. The weather was awful, the worst imaginable; tons of rain, coming in waves and drains blocked with leaves; there were floods everywhere - I was terrified that my wee Clio would just phut-phut out in the middle of one of them, but she's a star.
So now, I have to present myself at a 20s soiree, wearing beads, for a friend's birthday. All this socialization is a bit too much for me...and, tomorrow I have to go meet a pile of writers doing Nano! But that's different, I'll socialise with writers anytime.
My daughter called me last night, just as I arrived back from the wedding, looking forward to my night of CSI stuff. Could I run her over to somewhere on the edge of the planet because she couldn't afford a taxi. So there I was, spending my night in a car, lost, with her on the phone (my phone) to drunk friends who didn't know where they lived or were unable to verbalise it!
This common life is too much for me; I want to be a hermit again.

Hmm, i like all your different blogs n things. You'z giving me ideas . . . ideas . . .
hey pops. i would've thought you'd bang away at blogging and am surprised you don't. come on, get with it girl; do all your growling and moaning on your blog! i hope i've infected you. x
That would be way too much social contact for me. I suppose I ought to socialize some but geez - I have contact with other humans at work! Why do I need to put up with them elsewhere!??
