Birthday paella for the boys |
The London reunion had a distinctly European
flavour thanks to the perfect paella. It was just like the good old days, with
a slight tweak. The food was much better than the BBQ and pub burgers we lived
on. The wine and the conversation were also a little more upscale! It also
appears that babies and dogs have replaced exotic destinations as our favourite
topics of conversation. But that is ok.
The one thing that hasn't changed is the
brilliance of these friendships. Friends you make while travelling often do
become friends for life. Despite now being at different stages of our lives and
living miles (and states) apart, the girls can still talk for hours, while the
boys can pick up the games and the shit talk right where they left
off. Highlights of the evening included an eating content, a random bike
riding display and the birthday boy posing with the three pregnant ladies and
sporting one of the biggest bellies.
Today I am grateful
for getting a slice of time with Tim, Debs, Murray, Susie, Bubble and Sophie
all at once. I'm sad it doesn’t happen enough, but still savoring the great
vibes that come from these awesome people.
