Dinner
🕑 Added 2020-08-12 00:36:48 +0000 UTCJust went to a friend’s house for a small grownup dinner party and it was so nice I could weep.
I think I’d forgotten what it was like to have a social life where you come and someone cooks dinner while you all stand around in the kitchen offering to chop something and then you sit with a group of interesting people around a table while you all talk about everything for hours.
It’s made me more determined to try the ‘salon’ thing on here.
I have been feeling lonely being back in Sydney, despite family - like my friendships had all closed over in the years since I’ve lived here properly, and with the virus adding a silent but surprisingly strong vote against reckless goings out. Add to that me not doing friend-admin when I really should have, and it’s felt a bit like being in Sydney as a bit of a ghost town. Family and cliffs and ocean. Not a bad version of a sawn-off life, but truncated nonetheless.
So my goal for the next few weeks is to send off emails and messages to old friends here and see if I can wedge my way back into communication with them, if we haven’t all grown up too much.

I like to cook and it is always nice to feed people.

Spontaneous generosity of food and spirit like that is soooo hard right now. But as you show, soooo rewarding
