I have suddenly discovered that I am really missing having friends nearby. While it has been great fun going into London to visit people over the last couple of months, it isn’t quite the same thing as spending a greater portion of you evening in the compnay of your peers (or housemates).

There are two people particularly for whom I feel a particular desire to catch up with, both infact having been a significant part of my life for a period and both currently overseas.
One of them it is reasonably obvious why I’m missing them, the other less so, and I’m not even sure she even gives me a second thought these days. I just want to be in a position where we can spend time together again doing nothing in particular. We never had a great deal to say to one another but that never seemed to matter, it was just nice* spending time together on our own**. Even more recently when we’ve caught up with one another there has still been a sense of understanding there without words needing to be spoken.

Hmm - I also need to work out what it is that keeps my brain racing at night and is preventing me from sleeping as I think I’m going quietly insane from it…

*Where “nice” means relaxing, comfortable, joy inspiring, right.

**By “together on our own” I of course mean time spent where it was just the two of us.
