Old Friends, Book Ends

So sang Simon & Garfunkel in a fairly famous song. My day has been a bit like that. It started with a fairly early visit from one of those, " I wonder what ever happened to........" kind of friends. haven't seen or heard from her since her little sisters 60th birthday, when we parted with the usual exhortations of ,"We must keep in touch," etc. And you never do. But she turned up this morning & invited Herself to a morning out, going to a show called "Operantics" herself thoroughly enjoyed it, even though she had to cut it a little short so that we could make a 1.00 pm appointment.

One of the ladies in the office we went to is the little sister of a guy that used to play lead guitar in a band I was in many years ago. She happened to mention that her big brother was in Thames Hospital at the moment, so when we had finished our appointment, I dropped herself off at home & scooted off up to the hospital & spent a very pleasant couple of hours reminiscing & talking music & instruments. When I got home, Herself reminded me that I had forgotten to collect some lovely field mushrooms that our IWWEHT friend had promised us. It was about then that the three Reiki Ladies turned up to give Herself her weekly treatment. These ladies are wonderful. They turn up every week for Herself asking no payment other than the experience for the two girls that are learning. Its nice to know that there are still kind spirited people about like that. We seem, for some reason, to be encountering more than our share of them lately.

I'm not complaining though. Its very comforting to know that we are surrounded by such folk.
