Making New Friends

                     

What a nice day.

I couldn't sleep on Friday night after the spooks knocked over the massage table as I was going off to sleep. Then I woke up too early. I jumped out if bed and washed the car. It was very dirty and we were going out today.

I have an energetic yoga class on Saturdays at 8:30, then have to hurry to get ready to go to Newcastle for sword practice. I never have enough time & I'm always late.

I took my new friend with me from Victoria. He wandered along Beaumont St while I was practicing. I'm starting to get the hang of sword. I like it.

After sword we picked up my daughter Matilda for an early Mother's day and went to the fish & chip shop on the corner at The Junction.

Claire in the fish & chip shop became my friend last week when she gave me some spaghetti bolognese to take home for my dinner. She told me she was from Cambodia & I told her I might be going there. This week I told her I AM going there. She gave me the details of the hotel she stays in when she goes back to Phnom Penh.

I got some ginger root tea from the shop next door, the girl there has become my friend too. She awarded me the best dressed of the day. If I find the same t-shirt next time I go to Thailand, I'll get it for her.

We took our picnic to my favorite people watching spot by the sea to eat in the shiny red convertible. There weren't alot of people out & about. I told them I  wait for the children that fall over. Bahahaha. There were some interesting dogs.

Matilda updated us on her Phd. She won the university scholarship and is going to be the world's foremost authority on comic books.

We took my friend up to the secret look out up on a cliff with the ocean below. The sun was shining brightly.

We dropped Matilda off at her house and drove back to Singleton towards a glorious orange sunset.

I made another new acquaitance on the way home when the young attendant asked what I'd done today. He was so interested to hear about Japanese sword lessons in Newcastle, he asked for the details.

After I dropped my friend off at his hotel and I came home for a sleep.
