I met with friends today. Just informal. We went for a long walk along the seafront. I haven't seen them for yonks thanks to COVID. Then last year they got married.. at long last.
Years ago my friend and I started tai chi. I was useless at it. My friend wasn't much better but she had staying power. There was a definite spark between her and the teacher. In the end I gave up because I found learning the short form too stressful. Not the point at all. She continued.
Although there was this spark they did nothing. He was married and faithful and she's not one to meddle. Fast forward about 10 years and his marriage broke up. They still waited and then tada at last they got together.
So Although they were made for each other the whole journey from meeting to marriage took about 25 years!
They have now both retired. Just like most of our friends. It is quite demoralising to have everybody around us richer and slowing down whilst we still run on the treadmill. One day....
On a groovy note. We walked back at 5.00pm and it was still dusk. We are on our way to more daylight. Wooohooii
