Morning Ally, morning Cruiser
Good morning everyone
Good luck Ton! xx
It's another bright and sunny, but chilly day here
I do love to see the sunshine
I'm off into town this morning to meet a new friend for coffee - well tea in my case
Her name is Alison (which bodes well
) and we met in the coffee shop a few weeks ago, and ended up talking for a couple of hours
and got on really well! Like me she's not local, moved into the area a couple of years ago and we seemed to have a fair bit in common. We decided to meet up again, but she had a small scheduled op to get out of the way, so it's been a few weeks.....
It will be nice to have another friend to go out and about with sometimes - the woman next door here, Sue, is lovely and we've been out for a cuppa, or shopping, a couple of times, but she is very busy with her elderly parents who are both ill and in care, both needing visiting every day at the moment, and a couple of weeks ago her hubby broke his shoulder! She has her hands really full right now, so we've not been out since before Christmas.....
Anyway, A seems nice
I've not found it easy to make friends here, especially since I stopped working - people in this city take 'cliquey' to a new level. It isn't that they are unfriendly, mostly they are lovely people, but most have been born and grown up here, and as it's a small city everyone is either related or else knows everyone else, and they all seem to have had their group of friends since school! It's hard to break through that.....
Those are my plans anyway - I hope you all have a nice day
xx
