seeing old friends

apart from my sister, i was only planning on seeing an old uni friend while in London. but A. had other plans for me. she'd organised for me to meet up first with a very old friend, whom we've know pretty much our whole lives. i hadn't seen him in nearly 20 years! but it was great to see him again and meet his wife and friends, all in a gorgeous flat in Notting Hill. the following day, we had dinner with an old school friend, whom i hadn't seen in at least 5 years. we'd been in the same class one year, and followed some courses together another couple of years, and even worked for the same organisation for a while, but it was weird: i just didn't remember him being so funny. it was really nice to catch up. and really unfortunate that neither my sister nor i was feeling too good - we'd been up till 3am at the other guy's place and hadn't slept all that much, and despite the sun, there was a rather chilly wind going through London, so we really weren't on top form. but i'm really happy A. took the time to organise all this. it was really good to see all these guys again.
