Catching up with old friends
Last Thursday I was invited to my old bosses house in Chatswood by a colleague that I used to work with.
I was one of the first to have a baby out of the bunch so lost contact as life got too busy. I kind of blame myself for not making for of an effort keeping in touch with people. I am so glad to be able to catch up with them and hope to stay in touch more often.
On Thursdays I have no kids from the morning until the evening so I was not time constrained because chatswood is a long way. 2 hours just in travelling, so I rocked up at her place just before midday and as usual food is not in short supply.
Fruit platter, coffee and home made banana cake. We chatted about so many things and it was so nice. Her toddler was asleep and I tell you I can’t even explain how pleasant and relaxing it was to just have a few adults to talk to with no interruptions. We all have food backgrounds in our studies so we chatted alot about food, babies and our future plans.
My boss made a wonderful lunch which we all helped prepared. It was so lovely that I thought I would write it down so I can make it again one day :-)
