….and bring a hat and some cake!

On Sunday I was invited to Chrys’ house for the The Unvailing of the BIG PURPLE THING. This is her lovely outdoor sheltered area that has been painted purple and had two pieces of Lammas themed painted glass. It looked great and was an opportunity to catch up with my good friend Simon.

Hats were encouraged, I think the theme was summer hats for a summer party. I wore a fish hat (a bennie hat longer than necessary at the back). Don’t ask why it’s called a fish hat. Kindof a private joke. It wasn’t exactually a summer hat but it was the only hat I had. I borrowed it off Steve (another good friend) – if your reading Steve I promise to return it soon.

I met a man with the most wonderful energy. I managed to establish he was gay to which I started flirting. He made some comment about me being a child. I replied “Child?” He spelt it out (C – H – I – L – D). I responded by saying “Oh Kid. K – I – D.” Gawd, I am not always cool and collected as I would like to be. I guess I didn’t expect him to be ageist. And he really isn’t that older than me. I did pick up psychically in his aura that he has been hurt in the past. So I decided not to engage with him, feeling that I had overstepped the mark.

He must have realised that he had offended me (although I think I did a good job of hiding this to be polight at a party). Because he later came up to me and started chatting being more social.

It was overall a good party with lots of good pagan conversation with Janet (Simon’s Sister). I love her, really friendly and lovely. Unfortunately as I was unwell I didn’t stay for as long as I would of liked. But really enjoyed it why I was there and went home to bed.

In love and light,
