I am meeting up with an old friend of mine tonight who I've not seen in about 7 or 8 years - it's so long I actually can't remember. N was a few years above me at college. She is from County Donegal and is one of the most amazing people I have ever met - quite an accolade but so deserved.
We met through the (at the time) Love of My Life (LoML) who was buggering off to go and live in America, leaving me to carry on as normal. LoML (who's story will be told some day on this blog) asked N to look after me and she did. She was always around to offer some more grown up advice - I was 20. N always instinctively called me when hand-ins were just around the corner, sent me meaningful and inspiring books from time to time (all of which I never would have chosen for myself, but have loved) and even chocolate when the stress and misery (of my final year) got so bad I could hardly bring myself to eat.
Although we live on the same island it has been tricky meeting up. For a long time I had no way of contacting N, bar a postal address for Donegal that may as well have started 2nd hole in the hedge because it was so vague. Plus she has moved around all over the place lately.
So tonight we are catching up at long last. She has tickets for Van Morrison and although I'm not really a fan I'm going to avail of the spare ticket just to hang out with my mate. It will no doubt be money well spent, even if Van is not my cup of tea. N only got in touch a few weeks ago about tonight, so no doubt there may be a story about some useless boy (I'm guessing here) that bailed at the last minute. I can't wait to see her. I just know it will be like old times. Will hopefully tell all tomorrow.

Hello girls....
Blogger is being evil and has randomly eaten up and messed about with two draft posts so they now don't make a blind bit of sense. Normal service (of the average 1 post a week!) will resume shortly.
