THINGS HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

After months of nothing but online events via zoom some of the groups started putting events on. Obviously no wild nights out clubbing due to social distancing laws but simple things like walks and meals. Given the fact I'd spent 5 months doing little or nothing at weekends I wanted to sign up for as many events as I could not only to make up for lost time but the knowledge that a second wave of the virus could could shut the country down again or at the very least lead to more local lockdowns.

It seemed obvious that everyone else had the same idea, I seen a simple 4 mile walk with a 22 person waitlist a couple of days beforehand. So leaving things until the last minute was out of the question. I got the calendar out and started signing up for events weeks ahead, it was better to drop out (with notice) if something better came up than miss out.

Saturday night I'd signed up for night out in Nottingham, it was 2 separate events at 2 pubs with prebooked  tables. I unexpectedly got on the second, then the first. Unfortunately the tables got cancelled, event was going ahead and an alternative venue would hopefully be found. I didn't want to risk wasting a journey so I pulled out, I'd had a terrible nights sleep anyway.
