I'd been feeling a little down. The isolation of the pandemic and lockdown was getting to me and I was feeling a little off with KfW2 as the last couple of times she's communicated with me have been work-related and very much asking for favours.
I've felt that we've been growing apart anyway for the past few years - her new job, her new commuting pattern, her kids going to school etc. have really meant that our contact and socialising has really dropped off in frequency despite efforts to get her out to the pub/my house for adult days/nights out.
And then today, she phoned, quite out of the blue. We spoke for nearly 45 minutes - a kind of conversation that we've not had in a long time - probably since the start of last summer, when she called in for a socially distanced cup of tea and we sat in my back garden.
It's proper made my day.
