Sunday

Today is Sunday and as it is usual we rested. We really didn't do anything useful. Slept late and then went out to lunch with a  very good friend and his wife.

It was just the four of us, Abigail stayed home.

This is a very nice couple whom I know for a long time and fortunately my wife warmed to them also. We see each other about once a month and most of the time for a late lunch.

Today was no exception. We met at 2 pm and didn't leave the restaurant until almost 6 pm. Well, the place is a diner and they let us sit there for a long time without any bother.

What can we talk about for four hours?

Anything and everything. From travel, to shopping to health to food to politics to personal things. We know each other well, meaning there is nothing to hold back on. And that makes talking very easy.

I love to talk to friends and so does my friend. But don't feel sorry for the women. They were not left behind in our little talk festival.

At the end we all had a good time, ate well and around 6 pm parted company. This doesn't mean we won't talk for a month. We'll be communicating on the telephone pretty frequently. At least until they go away.

My friend and his wife are going on a two month vacation that will include cruise and land stay.

Tough life they live.
