Parties that go from 4 to 7 are fairly serious.
Too early in the day to drink too much, by the time you get used to them you have to leave and make for the door....such parties are more than transitory emptinesses.
OTOH, there should be no dancing.Mind you I'm not invited to them any more, so this is just a memory.
I do better at parties with a theme, though not, I hasten to say, anything involving fancy dress.
We had an Obama election party and there will be an inauguration one, where, thankfully, we will be able to talk politics.
Otherwise I end up having conversations with people who ask me if I take antidepressants, and if not, why not.
'It's good to be positive, isn't it?' she said.
She'd taught accounting at Oxford. I put her remark down to some English peculiarity.
That conversation did take place at a 4-7 party (so that was an invitation, but I've known him for almost 40 years).
I'd had a few drinks which perhaps made it less painful.If you find a way out, I'd be interested to know what it is.
