In good times and bad times

I spent a glorious three hours with K today

The rest of the gang had other plans. Tooli living it up in London ; Si Boy and Jess heading to Oppenheimer.

I baked two cakes before I left and took them up (I knew she and I would
Demolish on before her A came back)

We haven’t seen each other since March which was through A window cause we had covid. And before that was after the honeymoon when we took their wedding present up this time last year

We are so remiss…. I forgot her birthday And I text a week later and apologised profusely for being a shit friend and she replied


‘if I need you, you will be there. I don’t need you on my birthday unless I run out of cake’

Which promptly made me burst into tears.

So today I received my birthday and Christmas gifts. It was a marvellous haul. I am always highly excited and supercharged after K gifts

Baileys, modelling clay, a colouring in poster, pencils with rude words on them; a beautiful spray for my plants, hairy bikers cookbook, post it notes. A wood burning set …. And a Pipette (because she liked the word)

Thank you K! Love you
