Frustrating Friendship

[Walnut]

I’m glad you had a good day with your friend.

Had a pleasant day watching my mate and others paragliding. He really appreciated me coming along with him.

That looks awesome. In fact, I might like to try it someday.
I've always had a kind of love/fear feeling with flying - fear because it's a long way down, but love, because it looks so cool and romantic.

Have you ever wanted to try this yourself?

It's a very cool picture anyway.

I've got no desire to do it Ska and it's an expensive sport, which I can't afford in any case. I used to be a fixed wing pilot and flight instructor and I've had my fill of flying around the skies to be honest. In different circumstances I might have made more of it, but that's life. I went with my mate to get out of the house, spend time with different people, maybe take some interesting photos. I recall during the day itself that I didn't at any stage feel any real excitement or joy, and the day was long and tedious for the most part, but it was sunny, lovely in the shade of a tree and kept me busy. I just went with it, knowing in advance what I might expect, so I didn't get upset or bored or lonely when I was off to the side while the others flew about. The chats were engaging throughout the day. It was certainly better than sitting at home doing little.

Going back to the cancelled camping - If you go anyway, what if it turns out he did you a favour by cancelling and you going alone? I mean, like, what if something special/unexpected happens?

You never know.

I said I was going anyway, which I did.

Yeah I read that, but I was just reframing it as an adventure or a possibility because it's what I'm trying to do.

I go camping alone often. The trouble with my mate was, I don’t go camping one week if I’m going to go the following week or the week after. I can’t go away that often. It’s just messy how he mucked me around.
