Lockdown 421

Lockdown Day 421 - 21 May 2021

With the final furniture move out of the student accommodation waiting for us tomorrow, today saw the final boxes find their way to storage.

The day comprised of organising steel cabinets for travel and home storage, and lunch with my special friends Laurette and Janie.

The afternoon sped by while we were getting ready to have my Bestie and our friends from Warden for dinner and sleepover. On the menu was a winter family favourite: 'soft steak'. Accompanied by a butternut spinach and red onion bake with a ricotta bechamel. Tin Roof ice cream with my chocolate sauce was the perfect pud.

For a moment, sitting there at my dining room table, I watched and listened to everyone chatting away. The two young adults, the two men, and us three long time friends.

I pushed the "freeze frame" button in my head, wondering when this scene will repeat itself. The face time conversation everyone had when Bestie's special friend called was proof of just how close and special a friendship we have, taking him into our circle as one of us without reservation.

And later, in bed, the chorus of that song Friends played over and over in my mind as I drifted off, " Friends are friends forever when the Lord's the Lord of them".

God is good all the time.

All the time, GOD is good.
