Listing to Port

I'm on board with my life belt on. I will not abandon ship until the lights go out, praying that our SOS call will be heard by a passing ship or one able to alter course to save us and our belongings.

In another life, I have a day of socialising ahead of me with a coffee meet up with 5 other class mates two of whom I have never seen since schooldays. I know they will look old to me while I have by some miracle remained unchanged. It is a pity that their memories will no doubt be so bad that they will not recognise me.
It's a strange phenomenon that the passing years only affect others.

I'll let you know how it goes,
