Day 18

Writing 2026

Had a lovely day with my friend Mandy.

She lifted me from a negative state of mind to a more positive one, just by being herself and being with me.

We had a lovely walk, coffee and snacks then headed for lunch.

It was quite a busy place. Mandy bought food and I bought drinks.

I’ve been struggling with a lot of things but Mandy helped me to feel confident that I can get through to the other side, or at least keep going, even if the other side is a bit of a way off.

We’ve known each for a long time, Mandy and me, from when we first worked together,, about 40 years ago. I wanted her to be my friend then and am so glad she is now.

Lydia and I had an early walk, so that I could catch the train to meet Mandy. I think she’s had a good day too, and now it’s time for her tea.
