Catching up, or

Finally having lunch with a friend of long date, but one with whom we seem to struggle these days to schedule anything. She comes and goes and I come and go and as Rudyard Kipling said about East and West “never twain shall meet”.

I don’t remember how many dates and hours we tried until today’s lunch worked – but that’s the beauty of friendship – one keeps at it until it works!

The time passed, as usual, in a flash. Lunch was delicious the talk more so.

Caught up? Not quite, but better than if we hadn’t taken those few hours.

Oops we neglected to plan the next coffee, sushi, Indian, or whatever else our tastebuds fall for, back to the e-mails, the WhatsApp “conversations”.
