Surprise Guests..

I have just been on Skype with Bronwyn - we have to chat though, she has not progressed to a head set yet at home.  She is the ultimate Skype friend in my opinion - I often wish I could frame our conversations, just to get a good laugh every day.  Certainly outlandish in many respects, yet there is much brutal honesty that is stated by us both in a very open way that makes me smile & gets my fingers flying across the key board.  I do believe we have even had a whole conversation about something that never happened and never will - but we both thought certainly should!  We could even forsee all the positive spin offs if it did.  Sigh. 

Now that is a person who has touched my life for the better.  My surprise guest.  She can arrive at any time, the house can be a mess - (and it mostly is) and she does not even bat an eyelid.  In fact she often comments on how tidy it is.  Amazing.  I know she is being sincere, cause I've popped in at her place before.  This girls fully understands the concept of 'messy'.  She has even offered to wash my dishes for me!!  And when she was almost 9 months pregnant she pitched up at my place to come plant grass - she knew I needed it done and felt like serving to clear her head.  A doer.  And she has has inspired me so many times, to try new things, see something from a completely different point & be happy with myself.  Everyone needs a Bronwyn. 

Then I have this other friend, her name is Nadine, I call her Nades.  The other day, I was sick - rather sick actually.  I was sitting in my car waiting for Sophie and received a text message from her, she discovered I was ill during the course of our texting - organised a delicious meal for my family & I and sent it over in a cute a basket just in time for dinner.  I could not taste a darn thing - but aesthetically - this meal was spot on.  I did have some the next morning for breakfast - I could taste again by then.  Brod made the kids sing for the last 4 blocks of chocolate - any mistakes and he got a bite of their block.  Phoebe was the only one to happily sit and chew her piece unscathed.  I believe Jo, Noah & Sophie were so worried about not making a mistake that they blundered along in their renditions. Shame.  So anyway, Nades is an amazing person who always knows what to do and when to do it - her timing and presentation are spot on. 

Just 2 examples of many of the wonderful people I call friends.
