A friend messaged me the other day wanting to know how I made one of my hats. I tried explaining it to her, but I wasn't doing a very good job and WhatsApp really wasn't the right place to do that anyway, so I suggested we do a meet-up at the library and I'd show her. We did that today. I returned library books while I was there. We had coffee and chocolate (me) and ginger tea (her). She crocheted and we chatted. She asked if I wanted to go to lunch and I accepted. We went to a place down the street that I'd never been to before. It was quite good. We both had some vegetable soup--she had a toasted chicken sandwich with a red onion marmalade (chutney?) with hers and I had some chips with mine. Then I had some sticky toffee pudding, which was like a large cupcake. It was good. She asked if I'd been to Port Arthur. I said I hadn't so we went there after lunch. She took me down a country road wide enough for one car at a time and full of potholes. It was only 5 minutes or so off the main road but felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. She parked and we walked down to the pier, where we stayed for a while just drinking in the views, breathing in the fresh air, and listening to the water lapping on the rocks and up the pier. It was lovely.
So it was a nice outing. She got her hat started, we talked up a storm and made some preliminary plans for next year, we had a nice lunch, and I saw a place I'd never seen before. Good craic* as they say. Hope you're having some good craic today too.
*'craic' is pronounced 'crack' and means fun, a good time, etc
