catch up

I Just spent three days up in Sydney for work, and managed to make the most of the time by catching up with a couple of friends. On Monday I met up with Tash, aka quirks from flickr and inthemix, and we had fun chatting away and filling a few gaps that hadn't been covered online. It was good to meet her in person and i'm sure it will make it easier to speak online.
The highlight of the trip though was getting a chance to catch up with Beata. We have been friends for many years now, well over a decade, and while she still lived down in Melbourne it was a very strong friendship indeed.
The last time we saw each other was almost two years ago, and the previous time was many years before, so there was quite a bit of catching up to do, even still, the time seemed to go very quickly and it seemed that we had only managed to share a few stories before I had to head off. Beata is such a clever and kind person, it's quite refreshing to talk to her, and she has quite a silly streak that appeals to my sense of humour :)
Of course she is also incredibly beautiful, and has become more lovely over the years, as her self confidence and strength of character has grown. Anyway, she's a very good friend and I was very happy to have been able to spend some time with her :)
