30 Days of Me - Day 27

What you think of your friends:

Is it just me or are these topics/questions really fizzing towards the end of this challenge? Does it not go without saying that I think my friends are choice?

I have very clever, funny, creative, loving, patient, wise friends. I have moved around a lot in my life and that has meant I have acquired many friends from many different places and times. Every one of them is unique yet what they share is their ability to make feel seen and loved. I liken each friend to be an exquisite piece of fabric, with their own texture and colour. Stitched together they cover my life and I am comforted. I hope this patchwork quilt will be with me into my old age.

30 Days of Me - Day 11

Another picture of you and your friends:

Refer to my earlier post about not having 1000s of drunk self takes. Here's the case for why I prefer not to take the camera with me on a night out:

Occasion: My husband's 30th birthday party in town last May:

Scene 1: Me and one of my dearest friends at the beginning of the evening. Respectable dinner party guests:

Scene 2: At the other end of the evening/morning. My husband, another friend and I as drunken dance floor hoggers:

30 Days of Me - Day Three

A picture of you and your friends:

These are hard to find. 2 reasons: 1. I like to take photos of others but hate photos of myself. 2. I am from Generation X not Generation Y. We oldies don't like to have 1000's of self takes in various states of disarray. It's just not my bag baby.

Alternatively here's me and some of my best mates poising by a fence and some sheep in the central city. (Cornwall Park, Auckland) (Poached this pic off my friend's Facebook page. Hope she doesn't mind.) These are my girlfriends from high school. My closest friend is the one taking the photo so she's absent from the shot. (typical!) We went to school in Warkworth, 40 mins north of Auckland. We might all live in the Big Smoke now, but if there's grass, by golly we'll find it! You can take the girl out of the country....

I love my friends. They are the salt of the earth. They see me, know me, love me. I have other very wonderful friends also.....Just no photos of us all together.
