*****Warning – Soppy Post*****

*Puts my Ovaries in*

For the longest time my closest friends have been a constant rock in my life and have remained there and unchanged for almost 15 years. In fact one of them has been there for 20 years!! But the old adage, change is inevitable seems to have caught up to us.

My Oldest Mates

My Two Oldest Mates

It appears that all good things do in fact have to come to an end as the exodus has begun. The newest addition to the group the lovely Superwoman is to be the first cab off the rank followed shortly after by Amph, then the Brown’s and then Rubinho. Already having lost Nuffies to the Western States, it will soon be just Immie and Hazza left to accompany Cheazles and I. I mean really! Why is everyone leaving me? I shower regularly!

When growing up you often think your friends will always be around, that your best mates will grow old and mouldy with you, but as everyone rides the wave of life we inevitably find paths that lead further from the dreams of our youth. I guess in the end we are all truly alone in this universe, as no matter how long things last they really are mostly fleeting instances in the greater scheme of things. However it is those that leave a lasting impression in those moments you share with them that are important. The length of time is not really the best way to guage their importance but how you share those moments and I must say I have been fortunate to have been able to share so many moments with those that matter.

True friends are not those who ride the wave with you but those who, no matter what wave they are riding will come and pick you up when you get slammed by the surf and I am a firm believer that most people will only be able to count their true friends on the fingers of one hand.

I put it down to my immense girth which has drawn so many lovely people into my orbit and count myself to be very fortunate to have so many whom I can call true friends. So it will be sad to see you all leave and wish you all well on your journeys however long or short they might be. As always, feel free to send me gifts!

Anyway, I must now conclude that growing up is not that much fun (well there are certain things that grown ups do which are fun.)

Oh well, I have my Cheazles and she cures my loneliness and when I’m with her I know everything will be ok! So screw you guys, she’s all I need anyway!

Friday Night Fights this week hosted the latest outing for Yuriorkis Gamboa… and I shall let his actions speak for them self…

Other than that, this week has been highly entertaining yet a little tiring.

Nuffies was on the scene with a visit, which resulted in a catch up of the family on Sunday last week for a lovely dinner at the local Greek restaurant.

Throughout the week we intermittently caught up with her as much as possible for chats and dinners which were a lot of fun! Today, actually now yesterday, we (being Nuffies, Cheazles, Immie, Blobbin aka Krispy and myself) had a lovely lunch catch up. There were many moments of hilarity ranging from Nuffies’ brain fart moments enquiring as to the biological status of Sherpas, Immie’s certain issues with business news reporters and Blobbin’s ‘moisture’ issues. All round, a highly enjoyable yet enlightening day.

Being the manly man that I am, it was an eye opener being a fly on the wall when a bunch of girlfriends hang out. Despite knowing them all individually very well, seeing them all interact together was different. I think it showed me how much the girls mean to each other and that those girls will look after my Cheazles. It makes me glad and thankful for having such lovely ladies in my life. (Only when they aren’t calling me at 3:40am from London asking what pants I wanted when I had already told you at least 4 times!)

Anyway, now that my increased estrogen moment has passed I look forward to the return of Amph from his 1 week hiatus to Japan. Time for some manly business, like watching DARK KNIGHT! I had to wait an extra week for this just because of you Amph!! GRRRrrr..
