quantumcupcakesIs there anything better than a long phone call with a good friend?
My friend Claudia and I don't see each other as often as we'd like to - she lives up in Manchester with her husband and we live down here in Cardiff - but we used to work together and we've known each other over 20 years. We meet up maybe once or twice a year but we ring each other every couple of months.
Earlier this evening she rang me, I settled down in a comfy chair with a glass of wine and some chocolate and we talked for hours. We caught up on what we'd been up to in the last couple of weeks since we'd last talked, we reminisced about 'the good old days', made plans for the future and basically put the world to right. I also made the effort to not just talk about myself, which I think we're all guilty of, and specifically asked about what she was up to, about the good things that have happened to her lately and celebrated her successes with her.
Between that, this morning's play session and an afternoon spent watching movies and generally chilling out, I feel completely relaxed and ready to take on tomorrow morning.
