Separate Ways

It felt strange today for all of us to be doing something separate from each other.

Adoring Husband drove me to Bambooland where I met The Gypsy for our first face to face catch up in about 8 months. We’ve had a few zoom calls but to be in each other’s physical presence was a lovely change and reminded me how much I miss our weekly chats since the shop closed.

The weather was perfect for sitting outside under the giant bamboo with the sun filtering through the leaves and branches. The Gypsy shouted me a small coffee and we found a picnic table to sit at for two hours of chitchat.

Just like the old days, there was too much to talk about in such a short period of time and the two hours passed way too quickly. Before we knew it Adoring Husband was walking towards us to let me know he was there to pick me up.

Warm hugs and promises to not leave such long gaps between catch ups next time. Sometimes life gets in the way and sometimes it’s tricky to get the stars aligned, but our connection is strong so it doesn’t matter how long between meetings, it’s always easy picking up where we left off.

While I was with The Gypsy, AH was meeting his mate for their regular coffee date and BGWLBH took the opportunity to drive into the Bay for her own ‘me time’.

She returned in the early afternoon and we all took the opportunity to nap. AH and I napped on our recliners and BGWLBH napped in her bed. We had ALL run out of energy!

Dinner was our Friday night favourite of spicy chicken wings and we played some trivia before all heading to bed. 

It’s only 9.30pm but we’re all heading off early tomorrow morning to hit the pier markets and enjoy breakfast on the waterfront.

Nite all.
