Chalktown Ceilidh

[hmmm_tea]

So, in the end having asked you all where to go, I ignored you and went to Haywards Heath.

Decided I couldn't really afford to go to Cambridge 3 weekends in a row, even if by the sounds of things I missed a really good ceilidh up there.

Anyway, Chalktown were a really good band with plenty of energy and Cat Kelly is generally a really good caller. She didn't seem to be on her best form last night (she was certainly much better at the Gloworms ceilidh in December), but it was still a good evening and it was nice to dance with the Mythago people as I haven't been to a ceilidh with them in ages.

Did however get mistaken for being a sixth former by the people on the door when I arrived. I'm really not sure what to think about that? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Dunno... I think it depends how old you actually are, and whether you mind being thought of as the wrong age.
It happens to me occasionally but I think that's mostly because I'm small (5'2"). People tend to assume little = young.

I totally agree! I'm also 5'2" and people tend to think I'm younger. It used to annoy me but as 30 looms nearer and nearer it's not such a bad thing.

25

Not really, I just found it rather amusing really to have lost 8 or years.

Then again, to contrast with that daveholland thought I was older than I am (http://hmmm-tea.livejournal.com/33998.html?thread=57550#t57550) a few months ago...

Maybe I'm just being 25 by stealth...

mostly because I'm small (5'2")

I suspect that's not the issue in my case as I'm not that small (6'4")...

I'm 31 now, so being mistaken for a sixth former has gone through being weird and out the other side to being frankly funny!
