Old Friends

I’m writing this with a bit of a hangover early on a Sunday morning.   Not sure why I am up so early on a Sunday, that 5 am alarm just goes off in my head somewhere and up I get.   It’s a nice time to catch up on the news and things before others emerge.    But, back to the reason for the hangover.   Bidi and Rick are staying with us.  I first met Bidi back in the early 80’s in Matangi, Waikato.   We got on well then and have ever since although some years go past at times when we don’t see each other.   That’s the best thing about old friends, they can turn up after a lengthy absence, and the friendship just turns up too.   Consistently.
So, as we caught up on friends and family news, and explored opinions on recent things, gave our version of events that have occurred, we had a wine, or two.   First the pinot gris, then the red....   Seemed like a good idea at the time, not so good this morning but nothing a bit of exercise and a good breakfast won’t cure.   The roast leg of lamb with roasted vegetables went down a treat with the wines, and the banoffee pie was a real winner.   Just as well I forgot about that bottle of desert wine in the fridge.....
