scaryladyYou know how some people you see all the time and that is cool; you talk, you don't talk, you're comfortable and it doesn't matter?
Others you see occasionally, you talk, and that's OK, but you don't know them well enough/aren't comfortable enough to be really cosy with them?
And then there's the rare special kind; you see them regularly, you see them occasionally, you see them practically never and it doesn't make the tiniest scrap of difference. Ten minutes back into their company and it's like they never left. I have enjoyed a weekend in the company of just such a person.westernind is my oldest friend (that I still have any remaining contact with at all). We were at University together, studying the surprisingly useful subject of Philosophy; not such a long a time ago as for some, seeing as we were both mature studes, but a good chunky 12 years ago nonetheless.
It has been a fine weekend. I got to marvel at the sheer difference that training has made towesternind's voice, she got to marvel at how little anything changes in the North, ever, and I'm relieved to say that she has dug me out of the Pit of Fear caused by having £200 worth of silk to construct into a wedding dress that is not exactly a standard design. I can now roll my sleeves up and get to it.
Cheers Roz.
