Validation

[poliphilo]

We have this new habit. Every Saturday we go into Manchester and have lunch at a place called the Shalimar. They do a really good curry and it's cheap.

It's nice to have habits. They're comforting things. If we didn't show up one week we'd be missed. A sense of obligation has been created. We validate the Shalimar and the Shalimar validates us.

Everyone has to have that one place where they're expected ... it makes all the rest of the change in the world that much easier to handle. :)
