today on the other side of the world

I met up with my best friend from 20 years ago. We had some strange fight that I forgot the details of and never saw each other again until today. I wondered how it would be or would we still hate each other. Funny how the emotions and memories get stuck in a moment. But it was instead so lovely to see my old friend and meet her new life, her partner and her adorable little baby.

She took me to Walpole Park in Ealing, London to enjoy a jazz fest. We walked and talked and shopped and gawked. She said it wasn't fancy but she had some strawberries and cheese and crackers.

I said it's always fancy when there's cheese.
