Funny how things turn out →[More:]This morning (last night for most of you) I was in #bunnies bemoaning the fact that I had to go to Chelsea today and I didn't want to go. Yes I know there is a song about it.

Anyway, I schlepped over there, it's a long trip for me on a horribly hot and humid day. I was speaker at an AA meeting, and it was pretty small, 8 people. There was a lot of construction work going on outside, so we had to close the windows, it was uncomfortably hot, but I did my best to tell my tale of woe and recovery.

After the meeting an elderly lady asked if she could talk to me. We walked to a nearby cafe, had coffee and some food and talked, and talked, and talked. We had such a lot in common, even though she's in her 70s and our backgrounds are very different. We've made plans to meet up again.

So out of something I didn't really want to do this morning, I've made a new friend.
