Social Groups

Hi! I’m 23F and looking to make some new friends in Inverness, but I’m really struggling to find social groups for people around my age 😅

I work Monday–Friday 9–5, so I’m mainly looking for things in the evenings or at weekend (saturday after 3).

I’m into reading, writing, journaling/scrapbooking and generally cosy/creative stuff. I’d also be open to trying something new if it’s beginner friendly!

I’m not really into running, football, climbing or going to the pub just for the sake of meeting people. Ideally I’d love something fairly relaxed where it’s normal to turn up alone and actually get to know people over time.

I’ve already found a few of the Nook events and some local book clubs, but I’m wondering if there are any groups/classes/social things that just aren’t advertised very well online?

Any recommendations would be appreciated 😊

Email advice

Without giving any information is this qn appropriate email?

Dear,

Following today's meeting, I wanted to raise something that has become clear to me.

Due to previous experiences, I find unexpected meetings—whether formal or informal—can cause me a significant amount of distress. I would therefore appreciate receiving advance notice of any meetings wherever possible. This would allow me time to prepare myself and, if I feel it is appropriate, arrange for representation or support to attend with me.

If this is something that could be considered as a reasonable workplace accommodation, I would be happy to discuss it further and work together to find an approach that is practical for everyone.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I appreciate your understanding, and I look forward to discussing it with you if needed.

Kind regards,

Out with the old and in with the new

Starting a new common place book. I use small kraft paper notebooks in my passport travellers notebooks. The new one is the butterfly book. I covered it with the paper and added the letters. I think i like the way it turned out. Cant wait to fill it.

I see a lot of posts about indexing and i thought i would put my two sense in. I tried indexing before and i didnt really like it as most of the time i find myself not really needing to flip back to finding things but when i do i just use the coloured dot system to help me flip to the pages of a certain topic that im looking for. And then qhen i write something i know for certain that i need to flip back to i just right the page number and the title on the back page. Helps not to chuck up pages of index with lots of stuff i know im not going to need. Obviously doesnt work for everyone but wanted to sgare incase it helped.

I see some very artsy common place journals which are amazing but i wanted to show what my more simplistic one looks like for those that are intimidated by the creative ones like i am. My common place is kept in my travellers notebook and the only thing that might be considered artsy is the front cover. This is my newest one as i filled my last one.
