Having Chinese food in Twickenham
To cheer me up, the newlyweds C and P invited me to join them for G's b-day drinks + dinner in Twickenham. Through the couple I've met their Twickenham-based group of friends several times, and G especially strikes me as a healthy, sporty and sort of tomboyish kind of lady. She's also an electrician who recently received a job offer in Afghanistan, hum... We had Chinese in a pretty pricey restaurant, and then headed to a local bar. I was still in low spirits, despite all the people around me appearing in a relaxed, happy manner on a chilling Friday night. However, conversations with new people do help. 39-year-old P told me about her heartbroken break up of a 5-year relationship, and how she found her soulmate five years later. Another guy D who also graduated from UCL, left a well-known on-line travel agency years ago and successfully set up his own company: Midas Hotel Network. As an entrepreneur, he can wake up at 10, and the heaviest duty for today was dumping his garbarge.
Back at C and P's house in Ashford, I finally got to meet their adorable dog Tasha. I tell you, she's the sweetest and cuddliest dog in the world. Tasha isn't afraid or guarded towards strangers. She just walks gently beside you and let you pat and hug her warm body.
I still sleep unwell and wake up early in the mornings.
