Someone recently told me I should make sure to say yes to things. You regret those things you didn’t do much more than those you did.
I was invited to an outdoor film showing of Cinema Paradiso in a neighbour’s back garden last night. Coldest evening so far this year – didn’t really fancy going in the end but remembered the advice. Arrived to find a change of plan – turned out it was too windy to set the screen up in the garden.
I don’t think I’ve ever previously been to a party where random neighbours wearing multiple layers of underwear and furry boots sat on a sofa and cried gently together – but it worked a treat. Particularly when someone went and fetched a rather wonderful homemade sloe gin.
Glad of the extra hour in bed this morning…
