Please don’t click

I had a strange message yesterday that worried me. Someone keeps getting notifications about my posts in their email and it’s irritating them. I don’t know them and am not sending them emails so it must be notifications from WordPress about my posts?

I know I sometimes write quite a few posts a day. My mind jumps about and I like putting my thoughts down, but I guess that might get on peoples nerves. If it does I apologise.

The only thing I could do was check if I was following the person (I’m not, and don’t think I’ve seen their blog). Then I thought, they don’t have to follow me. I’m not after lots of followers, it’s too much responsibility. So I suggested they unfollow me.

Finally you can click on some blogs to receive email notifications everytime someone posts. I used to do that when I started here. I’ve now limited it and unclicked notifications because my email inbox was getting too full. I was literally getting hundreds of emails on some days.

So, I think just follow who you like, but don’t expect them to follow back. Some people will instantly become friends, others acquaintances, and some you will be irritated by or they will be irritated by you. Its all depends on your personalities. Just enjoy x

They played jazz

At the three counties open. There was a small group of musicians playing gentle music. I think it was jazz. They were in a corner, just taking up a small space by one of the doors. Three hundred or so people milled past them, looking at pictures, photos, paintings. The band played on. I don’t think any of them were hit by out flung elbows, but it was a lucky escape! As the evening progressed more people arrived. The ‘one glass of wine’ policy seemed to be relaxed. Two hundred and more unmasked people mingled and breathed on each other… And I felt worried and anxious. I’d forgotten to take a mask. I was like a baby taking my first steps… Very nervous.

Too many people

I was shocked at my reaction to visiting the Thai temple at King’s Bromley today. There were so many people. It was a friendly atmosphere but I felt overwhelmed. I went into the crowded area in front of the stage (wearing a mask), but almost immediately I had to get away. I burst into tears! I went and sat in the shade of a tree away from the main crowd. I didn’t like being exposed to do many people. I was also surprised that only one other people were wearing masks. I’m supposed to be visiting somewhere else tomorrow but I’m seriously concerned about how I will cope, fear, nerves and anxiety again ?
