I didn’t have plans last night and I still had lots of work to do anyway so a friend asked if I could babysit for him whilst he takes his good wife out for dinner.

“No worries” I said in my best Australian accent.

As it turns out my very good friend Kelly also had last minute change of plans that evening and asked for a catchup so I told her to meet me at my mate’s house (with his permission of course). So at 7pm I settled down with a DVD of Eddie Izzard’s “Sexy” running in the background of my laptop, a cup of tea and got down to work. Kelly pops round half an hour later; we haven’t caught up in ages so all work stopped while we nattered plus she had some technical problems which I gladly helped her with. A short while after that the South African couple turned up; every Wednesday my mate hosts Kinship (a small group who gather to talk about God) but no one had told them it had been cancelled today.

Kristen and Duncan really are the nicest, down-to-earth people you could ever meet and since they were moving out of the area very soon it was great to know them a bit better.

It is nothing I can I describe, but when you meet some people you instantly click and it’s just a great thing. It is a rare thing to happen; I would say it has only happened twice in recent years with mixed results but a awesome journey nonetheless!

Anyway, ever the photography and keeper of memories I took a photo of us.
