Me and Bobby



I have a wonderful friend.  She is one of those people who listens.  She accepts everything in me (and others) with calm joy and delight.  Except sadness, which always gives her concern.  I met her first when I was about eleven, and although the last few years have mostly kept us apart, I have never stopped holding her very dear.  She lives with her exceptional husband and family on the other side of the world, but I have recently found out that next winter she and her daughter will, all things going according to plan, stay here with me for at least a few months.  I am so looking forward to that!

  3. I think you are the pretty one. Bobby is the one who is not so pretty.

  4. Ha! I thought you'd say that. You have obviously booked your NZ flights already and got those ones you can't refund.
    Just a warning, 'though: Bobby reads this blog too.
