I'm going to try today to start a conversation with someone who I don't know too well; I was hoping to try that at a friend's birthday party in London today, but having checked trains it seems that there is an inordinate number of cancellations, enough to give me second thoughts about travelling.
The big annoyance is that I changed a few plans to make sure I had the energy to go to this.
I have plans to meet with friends tonight - it looks like there may be just two or three of us, so I'm not sure how well it will do - I am not sure what opportunities I will get for chatting, but I could always try with a neighbour, although not all of them seem that outgoing or approachable.
I'm still keeping on track with the Altra Challenge, and did manage a ten minute walk this morning.
