An audience with
I was at a relative's 90th birthday party yesterdayThere were many people there. Some I hadn't seen for20 years or maybe longer
After we had eaten I kept on being summoned..
"Rhian, Auntie *** wants you to go and see her"
"Rhian if you don't mind, cousin **** wants to have a chat with you"
"Oh Rhian, Mr **** says, can you go and speak to him... You remember him don't you?"
It made me chuckle thinking about it afterwards. Ok Auntie*** has got bad knees..but the others could quite easily have walked over to me for a chat!
At what age do you think that people can be bold enough to start summoning people over to entertain them?!!

Occasionally at family gatherings I have asked someone to come and talk to me - especially if I have had a bout of the creaky knees. My Grandma was the best - she held court!

Re: An audience with
Some years ago I stopped all that walking around at party's thanks to my dear departed sister in law. Every time I turned up at a function I was given a plate of food and drinks and a table and family and friends all came to me and sat down we talked they moved on and some one else filled the seats. It actually became a standing joke.But she was a lovely lass and her heart was in the right place, now my bro in law as taken over from her.So Rhian my advice is to find yourself a table sit down and let the world come to you girl.
It makes life so much easier I can tell you.

But I don't hold out much hope going on yesterday's experience!
