First Contact

So, one of the hardest parts about returning to somewhere you used to live is it helps you find out where you stand with people.

I have emailed about 10 separate units of friends (some singles, some couples, some family groups) about catching up while I am here.

Three replies were uber-enthusiastic - hurrah, can't wait, is NOW good for you? Made me feel wonderful!

Another three were "Cool - how does about two weeks from now sound?"

The rest are awaiting any reply at all. Which could easily mean I do not have up to date email addresses. But they didn't bounce ...

It's a little bit humbling. It's not like the complete world revolves around me, of course I know that (although sometimes I wonder WHY NOT?) but these were people who I really have clocked up a lot of time with in the past. I would have thought there was a bit more enthusiasm. Sigh. poor me, not as popular as I think I am ...

;)
