Michelle

[Tuesday 4th March]
My friend Michelle was in London today, so we arranged to meet up in the evening after I finished work. I don't think we've seen each other for nearly three years - the last time was just before we moved to Japan. Michelle was quite cross about this.

So we spent the evening catching up over a few beers and a pie each. Michelle told me all about her recent trip to New Zealand, and whenever I could get a word in edgeways I'd occasionally talk about my time in Japan, or my job. I have noticed I am particularly keen to brag about the latter to old friends I haven't seen in a while, although Michelle seemed reassuringly disinterested. It's a little hard to explain why exactly, but I guess this was reassuring because it suggested that with long term friends there's a sort of baseline of common understanding, to which your current situation is largely irrelevant. Hmmm, that sounds a lot like bollocks reading a back.

Anyway, had a very nice time - must catch up with old friends like Michelle more often.
