Spent my first whole day away today going to The NEC. I haven’t been out to my passion of Classic Car Shows since before covid. I went with a friend who is one of my two friends, we had a really nice day.
It’s strange how my brain is now recognising what would have either made me very angry, quiet or overwhelmed. We went into one hall and a display had a very bright blue carpet surrounding it with led lights aimed on it. My head felt this whoosh of an overload of bright colour. The strange thing was that I knew what I was feeling and moved away quickly. The rest went well till the last hall that had super cars revving up and a band playing plus people talking all at once. I started to put my arms around my head in what I call, ‘bat ears’, my friend noticed that I was struggling, so he knew that it was time to leave. I would have normally masked and become quite intolerable, I didn’t have to mask. I just felt that I could be me. This photo was the highlight, 
my childhood, two Dr. who’s together, does anyone else remember the car, it made my day. Sorry it’s grainy.
