One of These Excuses is not like the Others

2 May, 2016
Posted in: Ireland, Reading etc.

It was my oldest friend’s birthday on April 20. We thought we might go to lunch on a Saturday to catch up.

Alas, I cannot go to lunch on Saturday – I am out on Sunday afternoon and I can’t go out to lunch on Saturday as well. Planning ahead but how about Saturday, May 7?

That’s too bad about Saturday but it was short notice so I knew it was a long shot. As regards 7 May, I will possibly have a Kiwi friend visiting that weekend, I don’t know yet for sure but I will keep you posted.

Will we pencil in May 14 – I know it’s a long way out but still…

14 May I am in Ulaan Baator. Yes, really.

I think she has won that email exchange with her fermented mare’s milk. If you care, the 21st isn’t a runner because my niece is making her first communion so we have settled on May 28.
