In The Occupied Territory

My Best Friend

As all the titles of my Blips are song titles, this one is probably the most appropriate. This is Lennie. Yesterday when we were going to the football, Kaylay asked me how long I had known Lennie. I told her, " Since well before your mother was born. I first met him in 1974 in London where we shared a flat together, along with loads of other folk, and we have been friends ever since."
" Wow!" she said, "That's a long time."
It is indeed. I also realised that I do not have a single photograph of him. So that is now rectified, and posted here for eternity.
We tend nowadays just to see each other at football matches, but that doesn't really matter. We have had my kids with us at the games, and his daughters, (one of which still goes, but sits elsewhere with her mates,) and I have previously had 3 of my other grandchildren along; but none of them have shown any real interest, apart from Jacob. But since he lives near Newcastle, that is hardly handy for Pittidrie. So I hope Kayla stays keen.
