Although terribly shy I must've been a good actress because I could hide it and dealt with people all the time.As I've got older I'm not so good at hiding it or it might be due to the fact I'm able to be honest about it. If I feel nervous or shy, I'm usually OK to say I am now and that puts me straight at ease.I tried a job some 10 years ago that I loved when I was younger and spent the whole time hiding from and trying to avoid people. I didn't stay there long obviously and admitted to myself it worked for me years ago but not now. I've come a long way since that which is a good thing. Strange how our attitudes and mindsets can change so.Yes it was a lovely moment and certainly helped changed my view of him at the reunion. My son was so chuffed how Patrick spoke with him. Our picture with him takes pride of place up on the wall next to the reunion ones. We spoke about the reunion last night as we often do. I don't think I'll ever quite get over that experience. It helped massively being with the people we met that night on our table, they really made it for us and I probably wouldn't have had the chance to meet Linda if it wasn't for one of them. I was able to go to the front of the queue for the meet and greet so I was so very lucky. Later I learned that Linda & Patrick only stayed about an hour then left.The whole night was amazing and I'll never forget it.I texted the people we met yesterday wishing them happy Thanksgiving.That's funny, I'm sure you've made up for all that lost candy! Lovely to hear about you taking your niece and nephew out trick or treating.We celebrate it on 5th November and have firework displays. We used to have bonfire events too but now with health and safety gone mad it's just firework events. We often have a bonfire at home with the family.Guy Fawkes was a British soldier involved in the plot to blow up parliament and kill King James 1 in 1605. It's a bit of a religious, political tale.The rhyme goes; Remember, Remember the 5th of November with gunpowder, treason and plot (there's more but I can't remember it)How did your Thanksgiving go? I was terribly envious and kept going on about it and driving my family mad! Hope you had a great time playing your niece and nephew up.I bet that was nice cutting out Saturdays. I'm not keen working weekends but I do get every other one off now which is good. Hopefully it's benefited your health. I guess you're extra busy as we approach December?Hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving DFF and are keeping well. Take care for now and have a lovely weekend.Same to everyone else here too, hope you're all well. Happy Friday!</blockquote>
