There were nine of us. Old friends from way back. First time gathered together for about five years and my friendships with them spans twenty five years.
Some of them have been friends for much longer than that.
I couldn't believe it when everybody who I invited turned up, and what's even more amazing, is that every single one of them turned up on time!! THAT has never happened in twenty five years!!
So many good belly laughs. So many memories. It was just like old times and like no time had passed at all.
I felt the love and I felt grateful and I felt lucky.

After dinner at the club, we all drove around to Miss Iconic Eighties's new home, where she provided tea, coffee and alcoholic beverages while we all discussed everything from nostalgia, to current local events, world economy etc etc etc.
Sometimes there was language flying, sometimes the music got too loud, sometimes the laughter bellowed and sometimes the debate got heated. None of it mattered. It was like our own little safe area where we could air our views and share our news without judgement.
Life has so radically changed for us all in the last ten years. Some of us have lost family and friends, some of us have married, had children, moved in together, built up businesses, led protests, fought for justice, built homes, travelled the world, changed careers and developed addictions.
But tonight, all of that was forgotten and we were a bunch of friends mucking around just as we did in our twenties.
The only way it could have been a better night, is if Adoring Husband had been by my side. That would have made it perfect.
Nite all.
