A very old friend (Varun) from India has called in to stay a few days before flying on to France on Tuesday and we’ve had a lovely meal, a good catch up and of course a few after dinner songs.

Probably like most people I have very few close friends outside of my tribe and so it’s always wonderful for me to spend time with them when I can. I last saw Varun in April 2012 when I was in India and so we had a fair bit of news to swop.

I think true friends are those who you may not see for years but when you do you carry on a conversation as though you started it yesterday. Does that make sense? I don’t know, but it’s a wonderful surprise for me to have Varun to stay.
