My annual most brave thing: achieved :-)
The parade was really long with the new route. Also there were MANY people. I was near the front to start with so I walked around until we were back at the Forum and then I went to be the audience and watched the rest of the parade.
I had my umbrella and that turned out to be wise, but it was only a light rain so my rainbow bustle didn't get all soaked down or anything.
I wore nine bracelet rainbows and rainbow clothes except trousers and a rainbow bustle. I had maximum rainbows :-)

And as usual I saw a bunch of people I recognise from other contexts. Even though I know very few people indeed. It's a very small world.

Now my feet hurt and I am t i r e d
but I'm home so I can just eat a food and go lie down if I want to.

Today was the fifth annual Norwich Pride parade. And I went. And I was in a parade :-D
And then my mum was in the audience so I stopped being in the parade and went and said hello. She had brought my brother, who was eager to go find somewhere much quieter for a bit. He's more autistic than I am so parades must be even more difficult.

I went to the Pride Picnic, which has music and some dancing and lots of people in all their rainbows gathering for the parade. Mum did not arrive until the parade time two hours later so she didn't get as far as the park. It was pretty though. I like how people are all various. ( Read more... )

... also possibly total exhaustion. But I'm home now so that's okay.
