Old friends new neighbours

A bit of sorting out of things and housework. Then a nice chat with Mum, then Lorraine and I made off to Brighton for lunch, met Mike and Zina in the Basketmakers -- great to see them. Almost two years since last we set eyes on them and especially as they are set on a move to Brighton, probably near the marina, poised over a plate of oysters. Like no time had passed since we last saw them. We had lunch together, and generally welcomed our new neighbours to one of our favourite places in Brighton. Interesting to hear about Zina's photography -- she'll be in her element round here, and Mike's plans to change gear on his work which seems all consuming. Lorraine and I decided to have our main meal there, and had a particularly delicious fish pie, served with a good salad.

Home and I fell deeply asleep, then woke to go shopping. I still have very little energy. Had Yvonne and Brian around for a quick drink. Yvonne very happy as she though she had cancer again, but tests proved fine last night. Quite a stressful business for both of them.
