It's gorgeous and sunny.

I've taken a days leave to recover from any lingering effects following last nights drinking at a mate's leaving do. It was fun last night - seeing so many people I used to work with. It was also weird. The classic realisation that so many people you think you had affiliation with, who suddenly find it impossible to ask about anything but the new job.
It's a moment not to dwell on, but to understand quickly.
When you leave a job, even after three years, by no means does it grant you passage to a selection of good friends who you'll stay in touch with. I suppose if you're liked at work it's a bonus, but at the end of the day your real friends are the ones you don't need to formally update in the pub, almost in a competitive way - they're the people you meet up with now and again, and everything's the same as it always was....

I'm parched. Tea in the garden I think, seeing as it's gorgeous and sunny.
