Sunshine got the better of me...

Visible to anyone in the world

Ooops.

Spent the afternoon and evening in a pub garden drinking Crabbies ginger beer and chatting with an old dear friend, and later, his son, who is 16.  I've known him since he was about 10.  Strange to see how much he's grown up in six months.  He made me feel old! 

Crabbies isn't a very nice name I realise.

His son told me stories of jumping out of wardrobes to frighten friends - pretending to be characters from Narnia, gave me a comprehensive overview of his English A-level, and told jokes that were not shit.

And no studying.  Well I did do my B3 tutorial bits from last month.  That's not nothing.

I'm going to a different pub now to drink a different drink.  Wine I think.  I might as well accept today is not going to be productive and start enjoying it.  What better way than to go hang with my 12-years-older boyfriend to make me feel young again.  I'm definitely too old to talk to 16 year olds.  I'm too close in age and yet too much older.   

When I'm 40 I'll talk to them.  Now I'll talk to people who are 40.  The changeover will happen without me knowing, I'm sure.

I love Spring.
