The Sheffield Peace Garden waterways
I met my friend John for breakfast this morning
He turned up complete with pinky blinder hat, blazer and with hips like a snake
He has been living with a rare form of cancer and looks fabulous darling
He tickles me as I always feel as though I’ve had an audience with Joan Crawford after I have seen him.
We all need friends like John.
Arch, and without a trace of self pity he has been an inspiration to everyone when it comes with living with cancer
“ I’m not frightened of dying” he said munching on a sausage in Brown’s Cafe this morning and I suddenly had the urge to kiss him on the forehead
I’m proud of him, I suddenly realised , proud of his sassy strength and chutzpah
Jane reminds me of Helen Hunt in the movie As Good As It Gets.
She has warmth in bucketloads and is a free spirt locked away by Covid and circumstances and we are going to Rome together as soon as things are more normal
She interrupted breakfast briefly by insisting to pay for her part in last night’s excesses in All Bar One. In the envelope of money was a hand crafted embroidered heart
Mike is the placid one.
He is pleased with simple things and a simple life and has changed little over the thirty odd years I have known him.
He bought a 600$ jacket from New York twenty years ago and never wears it Out
Three people
All met by chance one day long ago
And all three as necessary to me as breathing .
and don't forget nu. we all need good friends like them.

ReplyDeleteI thought I gave that illusion , that didn’t happen mike I’ve know since 1989, Jane 1990 and john1995
Delete"Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver the other is gold." as I read long ago and - for some reason - remembered.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that you can take time to reconnected with these dear friends. Wishing the other John well with whatever he has to deal with due to that dx. Am glad he's mostly rising above it!
Hugs!
He’s sailing high babs
DeleteThank you Barbara Anne. I’m very well!
DeleteHad to look up ''peaky not pinky'' blinder hat....I was picturing a hipster sttraw fedora.
ReplyDeleteWhat are those seedlike things in the waterway? btw, the water turn offs may be due to funding shortages as many tax dollars/ pounds of budget have been sidetracked by Covid cleaning, as in subways etc.
They are tiles in the shape of fronds and leaves , isn’t lovely , the water usually runs above it
DeleteThe illusion is rather magical
Lovely post today !

ReplyDeleteOne of my mother’s countless pearls of wisdom
Happy. An important word!
ReplyDeleteAs important as having such friends is recognizing what you have in them. I confess to some jealousy on my part!
