Brighton Pride weekender

[smartcarkaz]

Yesterday was Brighton Pride, my wife and I watched the parade and then headed into the park. I always make a beeline for the charity and community stalls and have lots of great conversations, as well as the compulsory buying of junk. After 6 hours at Pride, my body gave up, my wife dragged me up the hill home and I've been asleep most of the time since then, while the rest of Brighton continues to party. I had a great day, but the suffering that follows really puts a dampener on it all. I still can't wait until next year!

Hi smartcarkaz

Well done on surviving the time that you did as it is difficult to keep the energy flowing as a fibromite

As long as you get some R&R to give yourself the chance to re-charge I think you'll be be fine

You look like you enjoyed yourselves too with your lovely big smiles

Soft energising healing fluffie hugs for you

Hi Karen

I genuinely hope that you and your wife had a wonderful time? I can truly understand how exhausting a long day out really is these days! And while I remember, welcome to the community, and I sincerely hope that you are feeling more rested?

All my hopes and dreams for you and your wife

Hi Smartcarkaz

It looks like you had a great time! I've gotto say I've always wanted to go to the Brighton Pride, but always lived too far to get there. Very jealous lol and hope you're soon feeling better!

hugs

I was there! I hired an electric wheelchair and it meant I had a great day all day, and didn't suffer awfully the next day. (I have EDS-H). Maybe that's what you should do next year?

Hi Kaz, great pic, looks like a brilliant day!

[smartcarkaz]

It was indeed a great day. I slept until midday today which is something I don't think I've ever done before so hopefully on the road to recovery now.

rowantree - you were there! What was your favourite bit? We may have crossed paths at some point ( I was the one being dragged towards the 'Dogmobile' by my belt hooks just for fun (on the floor may I add) in a moment of 'I'm a perfectly well normal almost 30 year old'. I was sober, it was fun, and I'm recovering nicely at last! xx
