Meeting up

It was a dry day. This is worth mentioning as we seem to have had a spate of wet weather recently. It was a bit cooler, but it was dry.

During the morning we had the usual domestic chores to keep us busy, but at lunchtime,  we headed into Chichester. We took the bus (which, unusually, was a bit late), hopped off at the Cattle Market and wandered in along East Street. The Gorse Fox needed to drop in at the bank and pay in a cheque from the DVLA - a refund on the road fund license for the old Qashqai.

We then met up with some old (some might even say ancient) friends from the early years in Starfleet. They were down on Hayling Island staying at an hotel for a "Turkey and Tinsel" break.

We had a lovely time with them over lunch at Zizzi's. Like true "old friends" we just seemed to pick up where we left off last time we saw them. We chatted about old friends, family, health, technology, politics, and everything in between. We were there for hours, but we weren't being rushed in any way as the restaurant was quiet.

We finally paid the bill and made our way along to the bus station, where we parted until next time. Their bus headed west, ours headed east. Theirs would take 90 minutes, ours took about 15. `It was lovely to meet up and now we look forward to next time.

Meanwhile, back at home Cousteau-cub told us that a new position has arisen at work and she has decided, after a fair bit of thought, to apply for it. It all sounds very exciting, so we are hoping that she succeeds.
