Finally

Trifecta Girl and I had drinks tonight. This may seem unexceptional as we have been friends for around 12 years and friends have drinks.

But it was somewhat exceptional. I am not exaggerating when I say we have been trying to catch up for drinks for around 18 months. One or the other of us has had to cancel on around 25 to 30 occasions.  It has been like the worst series of coincidences. It had become a black joke between us that we would never actually manage to catch up, as without fail one of us would cancel a few days before or even on the day. I was responsible for the last cancellation which was on 30 July.

Anyway when Trifecta Girl phoned me at 2 pm today, I answered the phone with abuse assuming she was about to cancel. Instead it transpired she was just checking I was still on for 5.30 pm. I was, and we realised finally we were going to actually manage the impossible.

And hooray we did manage some nice Pinot over two and a half hours, congratulating ourselves over our achievement. And firmly resolving to catch up more often, as we had such a great time. My target is a catchup within six weeks, and no more than three cancellations 🙂
