Nic is my shining light tonight as she is getting me out for a chat and a chill and a few bevvies.
She doesn’t actually shine in the ‘glittery, blinding, useful in a powercut’ kind of way, as only superheros and vampires can do that, but she shines in the sparkly beautiful friend sort of way.
(Though I wouldn’t be surprised is she was a superhero as she is very cool.)
Thanks so much for the support everyone. I’ll fill you in soon. Last night I was so low but today some fresh air and sunshine and my beautiful girls have blown away the cobwebs a bit and I’m looking forward to a few drinks in the soft leather sofa and flatteringly dimmed lights of a local bar.
It’s funny as it’s a place I used to frequent when a mere whipper snapper. Bands used to play there regularly and I felt very at home in my Doc Martens and black dresses. Now it’s a bit posher but not in a snooty way, I mean, I live in Mansfield come on, but in that it attracts ‘nice’, ‘clean’ people who aren’t just out to get pi**ed, have a kebab and snog something with a heartbeat, preferably a human.
Sometimes you need that loud, dancing night out, but at other times sedate yet intense, is perfect.
I’ll have a few for you lot too ok?

Oh, and there’s a song reference in the title, another old favourite. If you guess it I will send you a gift in the form of weather.

I think I can take the credit for introducing you to the posh side of Mansfield, Jo. I was determined to find it even if it killed me!!!
Have a lovely night and a good old chat. I’m sure the two of you can put the world to rights x

I do hope you had a great time. I’ve been thinking of you….and worried for you….and hope you know I’m here no matter what. I know you will talk when you can…or when you want to. I just wish I could be of more support.

Jo, loving the music references, so sorry to hear you are living on the wrong side of the yellow line, close to the edge. Hope you find your happy.
All I can say is it’s a funny time for most people but you are still a shining star.

I have a friend who’s that sort of friend for me. Restful, insightful, bright and loving. The world would be a sweeter place if everyone had such a friend, I think.

Have a nice night out, Jo. Goodness knows you need it and talk yo us when you are ready. We’ll be waiting patiently. Enjoy the nearness of your friend, as friends can be the most precious people.

Bother. I knew that music reference, and I NEVER know them. So I was all excited about being the only one, but lots of others got there before me.

Not to put too fine a point on it, say I’m the only bee in your bonnet…
Good pick.
Glad you’re feeling better.
