Hi everyone,
I hope your week goes well. I write because our picnic on Saturday didn't happen in the park as we planned. The weather didn't cooperate, so we didn't cancel the meeting; we moved it indoors.
Did you see the storm warning on Friday night? Several of you did, and you didn't suggest we ignore it. Did Clara still want to bring her potato salad? Yes, she did, and it didn't travel badly in a sealed box.
We didn't meet at the fountain at noon. Did Tom find the community room key? Yes, he did, thanks to the building manager. Did we push tables together near the windows? Yes, we did, although rain didn't stop tapping the glass.
What did we do instead of frisbee? We played board games and talked about summer plans. Who did Mia invite at the last minute? She invited her neighbour's son, and he didn't feel shy for long.
Did anyone forget cups? Jay did, but he didn't panic. Did Clara share plates from her kitchen? Yes, she did, and we didn't run out of forks.
Why did we laugh so much during the afternoon? Because Tom didn't remember the rules of the card game, and Mia didn't help him on purpose. Did we take a group photo? Yes, we did, near the bookcase with terrible lighting.
When did people start leaving? Most guests did after five, when the sky didn't look dangerous anymore. Did we clean the room before we locked the door? Yes, we did, and Tom didn't leave crumbs on the table.
Did the indoor picnic feel worse than the park? No, it didn't. Did we promise to try again in July? Yes, we did, if the forecast didn't predict storms.
Sorry the park plan didn't work, but I'm glad we didn't lose the day. Reply if you didn't receive the photo link.
Best,
Rosa
