It seems to be the year of catch up! I have caught up with another friend from the past who I haven't seen for nearly 10 years. This lady moved to Melbourne which may as well have been the other side of the world, as who would move to Melbourne??? As an old Sydney boy that is certainly the last place to move to, pass through on the way to Tassie perhaps, but not live there!!!! Ah well having rubbed that in I should move on!
Chris and I became friends when we worked together at the AIS and we sort of lost contact after she moved to Melbourne. However we caught up this year and we had the pleasure of spending some time together when she visited her mother for her 90th birthday (Chris' mum, not Chris :) ) here in Canberra.
It is always interesting when old friends catch up and share about their families and how our children have grown. We talked a lot about our respective experiences and what had happened in our lives in the intervening years. It was a very enjoyable time and we will no doubt talk much more in the future.
Chris faces her challenges head on and works hard to be good at whatever she does. God help her having a challenge like me for a friend! She has learnt not to give me an opening for teasing, but gives as good as she gets, so maybe I should be a bit careful!!
I don't have a recent photo so this one is from about 2000/2001 that I lifted from her Facebook page for here and she has not changed!
You can breathe easy now Chris as I didn't tell everyone the story I was going to tell, I'll save that for later after I have made it up! LOL
