A friend's day today

Today has been a good day for contacts.   The day started well when number 2 son phoned from New Zealand at 7.30am which was good as we had heard on the news that NZ had suffered another earthquake so was
reassured to hear that firstly it was not quite as bad as we had heard and secondly it was a long way away from
where he is.   Diane, a friend in Australia was next to get in touch; she has just moved down coast to live alongside her son in Sydney so I was delighted to hear she has settled down so quickly and happily - she can't
wait for summer to arrive now as they have a small pool and she's longing to get in there with her grandaughter.
Next up my friend who has just returned to Bristol after years living in other counties rang to ask if we could meet for coffee in the morning - I will look forward to that.   That's not all as just one hour ago close friends
in Spain reported their imminent return to the UK after living in NE Spain since 1988 - they will miss the
sunshine but really want to return and resettle here for the rest of their days.   How happy you feel when people
you love get in touch and shrink the mileage between you.   Thank God for modern communications.
