A friend came in to supper this evening; she's a vegetarian so we had a lovely piece of fish with cauliflower cheese and new potatoes - it was good. She is a friend of about 25 years but has lived on the south coast for a long time so we have only been able to meet up when she visited her elderly mother who lives quite close to our house.
However, she has now moved into town to be closer to her mum and help her in her late years and has managed to get a flat not too far away. We had our usual reminisce about all the people we know or have known before we managed to sort out all the difficulties of moving too many accumulated possessions into a much smaller
place and I have to say it was very easy to do this sorting out whilst sitting cosily before the fire with a gin and tonic. Today though she is back in the real world with this very real problem which we have all faced at times in our life. So many of my friends are facing this situation at the moment so I am in the position of giving out unasked for advice in every direction which sounds really good - for example......'if you haven't used something for a year you don't want or need it' ...Oh how I wish I had heeded my own words because if I had I would n't be in such an overcrowded house now. Next time I'll do it!
