April Chitter Chatter - Part 2

Thanks Wish a mission with vodka eh?
Enjoy your evening.

I got some of the first English asparagus for OH today, it's from the Wye Valley.

Is there anything I can help you with on the hunt Leo?

[Toulouse 0]

Wow, if even the hair wasn't intentionally, she still looks fab!

Thanks Wish! It's more an album to show off the different haircuts I had in the past - I still miss the curls tbh (oh lol, look at that, there's even photos of when I was a teeny tiny toddler!)

I'm back a bit later, was watching the news, about the ash cloud

[Cblu 0]

Gill: yes, please. Do you happen to have the chocolate floor?

[Zoonie 0]

I'll look Leo, hold on.

[Zoonie 0]

Now on display in room 1, Leo

[Cblu 0]

Thanks, Gill, I'm going to take a shot. I hope it's that one. It's my 3rd guess.

[Zoonie 0]

Got to just nip off for a few chores.

[Toulouse 0]

Laters G!

Sisters BF managed to find a way back home: there's a train so it seems that can take him home

[Toulouse 0]

ROFL, he's about to arrive in the nearest train station in about a half an hour!

[Cblu 0]

That's quick! Nice to hear he got transport.

[Toulouse 0]

Yeah, didn't get an update until now

Messing around in facebook, it's about time I delete some of the groups I am in and going to delete a lot of fanpages as well (am a bit bored hehehe)

I'm back indoors, brrrr. I bought a lovely big hydrangea plant today and have planted it up in a very tall bright royal blue pot, it looks lovely

I bought 6 bunches of sweet daffodils and a big bunch of long stemmed golden roses as well - flowers make me smile a lot.

[Toulouse 0]

Hydrangea - very lovely! And off course the rest as well!
I love flowers, hasn't always been that way, but I can't miss them anymore now

It's starting to get very cold in here - already wearing 2 sweaters

[Cblu 0]

Sounds lovely, Gill.

[Zoonie 0]

I'm pretty pleased, it all looks quite pretty.

Am really looking forward to seeing our friends again, it's been about 18 months (they live in Cheshire and lead a really busy life with their 3 sons)
We've been friends over 20 years

Anyone got any special plans for the weekend?

[Toulouse 0]

I hope you have a great time!

Nothing much planned for the weekend: studying and am meeting up with my pregnant friend B, her BF and another couple. We were supposed to go have dinner out, but B wasn't very keen on the idea of sitting an entire evening in a restaurant - which I totally understand. She's uhm... what's it called if you're near the delivery?

[Cblu 0]

Wow, 20 years friendship. That's great. Hope you have a great time with your friends.

I don't really have plans, except getting on with tyding up.

A lot of our friends we've had a long time. That said, actually we don't have loads of friends, not close friends anyway.
The most long standing we were at school with, I was at school with him since age 12 and my OH was at school with his wife since junior school - how about that? We both have two daughters and they get along like the closest sisters, it's lovely - although now we're a bit far apart and don't get together as often as we'd like.

I guess it's different for you, not living in the country you were raised in?

I should have done a lot more tidying

[Toulouse 0]

Thanks Gill - wasn't sure about it
Sorry, I am watching Strictly Come Dancing/Dancing with the stars (Dutch version)

[Cblu 0]

Yes, moving here had a part in it. I lost touch with most of my school friends and although I found a few of them there's no bond like you seem to have. I have some friends from my early 20's I still say "hi" by email once in a while, but we haven't met for ages. I fear meeting them in person to be honest, I grew quite apart from all of them and I'm not very proud of myself.

Now I don't have actual friends, I feel can't find much in common with people. I have friendly relationships but it's mostly for my kid's sake.

[Zoonie 0]

Actually, I do understand Leo, because we've moved around a lot.

Just going to eat now, will have to come back to you on this one

[Toulouse 0]

Leo

I don't know if I'm "allowed" to talk along with this subject since I'm still a youngster (no offense, but I have no idea to put it otherwise), but I have lost a lot of friends already. Mostly because I really got to know them and they weren't always there for me if and when I needed them, but they expected me to be there for them at every time - sorry, I'm not that person, I think friendship and everything that comes along has to come from both sides and I discovered a lot of friendships where I was the only one investing and that took way too much energy.

I think that if I count my real close friends, I can say I have 4 of them, and especially one person is a real close friend (pregnant B that is). There is one special friend, who doesn't live nearby and I know we'll always have a special bond, even though we don't hear or see each other often; she is my longest childhood friend I once met on a vacation in Spain.

Phew, long message :-)

[Cblu 0]

BG, sure you are allowed! Age is no issue.

I agree with you, friendship has to be mutual.

[Toulouse 0]

It has to be, really, I don't like being the person that always has to email, text, ask to meet or do something together - I find it very "tiring".
But there is one exception and that is the special friend I was talking about, which I find a pity sometimes, but I can't let her go

[Cblu 0]

Once your friend has the baby her priorities will change, but I hope you can remain good friends anyway.

I had a very good friend when I was pregnant, I often regret having moved away from her.

[Toulouse 0]

Oh we have discussed that already and I know her priorities will change, I am aware of that.

[Toulouse 0]

I am heading to bed, ttyl!
