I had a very unusual sort of day yesterday. After the interview and a trip to the library I tried to have a nap, but all the ambient noise prevented me from doing so. I knew I needed to eat but I was in no mood for doing so, so I had a bit of toast.
It had rained during the day, and the rain was easing off by the time I set off for the party. The bus trip was fine, but the rain was torrential when I got off the other end. There was quite a lengthy walk to the venue. I don't know the area and there was nothing to show where the place was. Having walked up and down a few times I eventually found someone who knew where it was. I arrived there completely soaked through.
I felt quite wretched when I arrived, so kept to myself until I felt more comfortable. There were lots of people at the party, but I coped with that by sitting quietly at the edge of the room, and only talking to people that I know. I was startled when someone I didn't want to see came over and spoke kindly to me.
I stayed for a few hours, and the party was still in full swing when I left. I found the bus stop quite easily and arrived home soaking wet. Yes, it was still raining.
Yesterday was a peculiar day. Several of the people I spoke to at the party said that they had also had an un-enjoyable day, and some didn't even want to speak about it.
