Do You Ever Disgrace Yourself?
Yesterday, l was definitely a disgrace!
I met two of my friends yesterday as we do, every so often. One of them was talking about how she celebrated her birthday in August and as she spoke, l realised l hadn’t sent her a birthday card. I felt so bad and then l realised l had also missed another friend’s birthday in August too.
I couldn’t apologise enough as that’s not like me to forget.
Reeling from that, l went on to the U3A monthly meeting where they have a speaker each time. I got a nice seat at the front and waited for it all to start. It was very warm so l stuffed my coat into my bag.
The new Chairman was full in to giving her opening speech when a mobile phone went off. I looked around to see who the poor offender was and then realised it was my phone ringing!
Embarrassed, l grappled in my bag, under my coat trying to locate it. Could l find it, no and it continued to ring and ring.
Anyway, l eventually found it and shut it up!
I think with the shock of forgetting two of my friend’s birthdays, l forgot to switch it off beforehand.
Next, the chairman introduced an ex deputy headteacher who was giving a talk about, The Tudor Bishops of Worcester (Saints, Sinners, Heretics, Refugees, Italians and Poisoner?)
It was okish but the next thing, my head was on my chest and l had nodded off. How disgraceful of me!
I felt more embarrassed than when my phone was ringing!
