Last night I went to 3 Talks at Red.
It's monthly event at Red community café where three speakers each talk for ten minutes on something they're passionate about. A vegetarian meal and drinks are also available. I'd never been before but my friend invited me and I enjoyed it very much.
Obviously there's a lot of time for chatting and catching up with people - some I hadn't seen for ages. Last night the three talks were about coping with dyslexia, cooking on an outdoor fire, and open water swimming.
They're informal - though the ten minute limit is strictly adhered to - and entertaining. You never know in advance who's speaking or the subjects. I enjoyed it and will go again.
I gave lifts to people and two of the women said, "You should do a talk, Liz."
I have to admit that thought had crossed my mind when I'd been listening, thinking, I could talk for ten minutes about why I'm passionate about Zac's. But do I want to put myself through that stress?
I shall ponder it a bit.
I was obviously inspired by the book-buying speaker the night before because I ordered two books today - one for Elder Son and one for me. The book I've ordered for me may be called Wild Mind but I don't think my body's wild enough to go in for open water swimming, at least not all year round.
One more night out out to go but that's not until tomorrow so I get to rest tonight.

An enthusiastic talk about Zac's would be interesting to a lot of people, I bet!
If you can stand the stress of one more thing, I think it would be excellent. I'm betting plenty of people aren't aware of Zac's.
Be interesting to see the transcript of the talk on dyslexia ;-)
I would suggest you do offer to do a talk, and simply do it extemporaneously. There would need to be no pressure that way.

Please do a talk Liz. It was my first time there too - you’d be great!
I’d love to hear you do a talk
