Just stuff.

I'm heading to KfW2's tonight for drinks and food. As far as I am aware, OP will also be there. I've commented before about how often this pairing seems to happen. Regardless, despite my regular complaints about not seeing KfW2, this will be the third weekend in a row that we've met.

None of it was what I would classify as quality time, but it's been great seeing her nonetheless. 

Oh, and in other news, apparently Alexandra Daddario has split with her husband. No reason to share that other than have a reason to post a picture.

Woohoo!

KfW2's just off the phone, sharing some good news. We chatted briefly, she's running around after her kids at the moment, and on top of that, she sounded rough. Like really ill. There's a 'flu type thing going round at the moment that's hard to shake. Most people I know are taking at least ten days to get over the main symptoms and much longer to shake a persistent cough.

But I think we've nailed down a date to meet. Or rather, for me to go to hers that weekend, with OP. We've pencilled in a weekend at the end of next month - four weeks from now.

Oh, hello!

Out of the blue, I got a call from KfW2 an hour ago. Well, I say "out of the blue" but I have been hoping for/expecting a call for over a week now. But "out of the blue" in that it was during the middle of the day.

We chatted for about half an hour. KfW2 picked up on the fact that I wasn't really social over the holidays and promised that we would see more of each other this year, even if it was just for coffee. I've mentioned before that I'd much prefer dinner and drinks but in the interests of seeing her more regularly, a regular coffee sounds great.

She also said that she was going to ask me to go to her place last weekend, but that all got sidelined when her daughter had an accident. They want me to go down, with OP too. It's been a while since the old "come down because OP will be here too" card has been played.

She's made that promise before, but she's useless at planning anything beyond the next hour. Let's see how this pans out.

Further pondering.

KfW2 was trying to say something a few minutes ago. She started and stopped a few times. My gut told me that it was something to do with the night out on Saturday. Maybe that she wouldn't be able to attend? She, more than most, is aware of how much importance I place in nights like these, that I value the time with my friends. So I'd be extremely disappointed if that were the case.

Eventually, she came out with it. Her and her hubby were given the opportunity to go away on Saturday night. Did I want to have a second night out, with her, her hubby and their friend (let's call him OP). Or was it my preference that I had everyone out on the same night?

I chose the latter. Partly because that's my genuine preference, but partly because this thing with OP annoys and confuses me in equal measure. KfW2's already suggested a semi-regular night at hers with Mr KfW2 and OP. She's never said anything bad about OP, but I get the feeling I'm being used as a buffer or a trade off. It's not that I dislike OP - he seems fine, but I doubt we'd be friends ourselves.

Saying that, it looks like KfW2 is still coming out this weekend. Mr KfW2 might be tagging along too, which is great. I don't know if OP is coming out, but that's not a big issue in the grand scheme of things if he does.
