Drinking beer with old friends makes the beer taste even better!

These last two weeks have been really strange… it’s been a fortnight of catching up with old friends - and I mean OLD friends: friends I haven’t seen since school! First my dear friend Robbie came to stay. Robbie is part of my family and I love him with all my heart. When he left I cried like I haven’t cried in years. He’s gorgeous although a little timid. Which delighted Felix The Great no end as he thundered around the house causing earth tremors in neighbouring countries while Robbie looked politely uncomfortable! But for some reason the two of them got along really well - it’s like kids can pick the people who are least comfortable with children and then make them their favourite. He also ended up calling Robbie “Doff” for no apparent reason…

Then I met up with my school friend Vanessa whom I haven’t seen in 10 years. Fuck that makes me feel old! But when I saw her - she looked just the same! It was good to see her again - didn’t realise how much I missed her and her almond eyes and her inability to sit still and do one thing for any longer than 10 minutes (thanks for the indigestion Ness!)…

While I was out with her we dropped into the Quarry for a drink and I GOT ASKED FOR ID!!! I am 28 years and 9 months old! HAHAHAHA! I told the dear little bar girl that she would laugh when she saw my birthdate, she didn’t but she looked embarrassed!

Must have been mighty dark in that bar I think…

And then the real surprise happened on Sunday. We went to see The Cat Empire at Moorilla and it was a SENSATIONAL day! Absolutely gorgeous weather, great music, dear friends and MOO BREW!!! Ah such perfection…

So I was gradually getting drunk and sunstruck when someone sort of “hovered” up to me and said “Jemma? I THOUGHT it was you!” and it was my old friend Adam from school whom I haven’t seen in at least 12 or 15 years! I nearly died! It was so good to see him again and meet his lovely fiancee Coby. They’re a great couple and I drunkenly invited them back to our place to drink our beer… which they did!

What a day - I drank Moo Brew for 6 hours and Corona’s for another 6… reminisced with Adam, slurred to Coby, laughed and had a great time!

Impromptu drinking at its finest!

That’s all for today.
