It was our Lodge's annual BBQ and I thought the roads would be morgue quiet as England were playing in the World Cup but no, the roads were quite busy but we got there in good time. Then the "fun" happened. The room we were having our pre-meeting in was the smallest one which was like an oven. I don't recall it ever being that hot before and suddenly Mr. Claustrophobia kicked in and I just couldn't stay in the room with everyone. I needed to be there but I was really feeling bad and a little panicked so I made my apologies and didn't attend. It was (only) half an hour but that would have been too much for me.
Things changed a bit afterwards and the England Match was on in the bar area and guests assembling in the garden. England? Yes they were a goal down to DR Congo. The meeting ended and I got on doing my Treasurer's duties, collecting money, dishing out the drinks vouchers and so on.
It proved to be a nice evening and we left around 9 or so as the sun dipped down and it got quite chilly. We drove home and I got a whole night's sleep! Hurrah. Woken by the alarm which was good so I feel better about things as it stands now.
It is the 20th Anniversary of me presenting with my Bladder Cancer symptoms (blood in the urine) on the day before England lost to Portugal I think?
Let me see what today brings. I have 6 months now until my next Lodge meeting and I hope that I will have turned it all around by then.
