poliphilo We hadn't seen Joyce in something like 30 years. No problem. It could have been 30 minutes. We just carried on as we always have done. Friendship never ends (that's Yeats again) or as I said to her (and it's one of my favourite things to say) "Time is an illusion."
She's been visiting Eastbourne with a bunch of "wrinklies" (her word) on a coach holiday. Yesterday she spent the morning with us at the Meeting House. Our Quakers were lovely with her. They're a friendly crowd.
She's had good weather for it. Temperatures in the mid 20s.

Date: 2025-06-22 12:53 am (UTC)I'll talk about it in my post but I watched the funeral of our childhood neighbor (the father of that family) and EldestSister and I agree we really have to make a plan to see the older daughter, who lives in DC, only a few hours away. I suspect it would be like that with her. Every time HCD and I go there it's for some purpose and we don't have much free time.
