The...You weren't being in the least bit rude, Lara. There were half a dozen different openings I could have used to introduce myself, but since it was a Flickrmeet rather than Transpocalypse III (whatever happened to that?) any <I>off-topic</I> conversation stood a high risk of being gatecrashed. It looks like we share a similar sense of privacy, as well as our taste in music.Peasegoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09502203653780070110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38884657.post-32796882121054958632009-03-19T10:59:00.000-07:002009-03-19T10:59:00.000-07:00My apologies Isobel, not the best wording , but t...My apologies Isobel, not the best wording , but the simplest way of describing a silent,uncommunicated recognition.<BR/>It's an odd position to find yourself in though. I value other folks privacy, as if it were my own. I guess there are unwritten rules about times & places you can bound up to folk & make your life known to the world. This didn't seem like one of them . Hope you didn't find me rude in that aspect. <BR/>You probably found yourself in the same situation, so yes your discression was effective :O) <BR/><BR/>It's not a position that has occured for me before. I guess it may happen more often now that I'm out and about more frequently. <BR/>Oddly , the only folk Ive nearly run into before Is Becky & Jane. <BR/>She once blogged about a new years day walk on Holkham Beach which when I read was fully aware I was there on the same day. Ships in the night though that time.<BR/><BR/>Either way It was nice to meet you & Sorry you had to leave early. It was a bit of an odd Flickr meeting. Normally have a little more focus than that(no pun intended). I think I am going to suggest another scavenger hunt for the next one. These are fun & the results always good. <BR/><BR/>As for Becky's comments. Yes you probably are right , & think I have grown in confidence over the last year. Warranted or not. Happier?, Maybe. Simply because I'm sharing a bit more of this situation now with others. <BR/><BR/>My next step is to try to stike a balance between confidence & wrecklessness.<BR/>May be not to easy :O)Lara Tyghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15677332290027676809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38884657.post-7877193734256759402009-03-17T03:59:00.000-07:002009-03-17T03:59:00.000-07:00And hey, next time go up and say "gate of ivory?

So much more confident and, dare I say, happier?<BR/><BR/>And don't worry about being clocked by Isobel, I've clocked her in a day job several times. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38884657.post-52866616200839438942009-03-17T01:42:00.000-07:002009-03-17T01:42:00.000-07:00"..still unsure whether I was clocked or not."I'd ...<I>"..still unsure whether I was clocked or not."</I><BR/>I'd say recognised rather than clocked: it's so much more positive. Can I presume that my own discretion was effective then?<BR/><BR/>My early departure was due to a flat battery: VR lenses are rather greedy, and I hadn't topped up the charge beforehand :o/Peasegoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09502203653780070110noreply@blogger.com
