Well, the seven emails a month thing hasn’t really been happening. The last couple of months I think I wrote about three emails a month. BUT over the last couple of days I’ve emailed seven of my old friends and have already received two replies. Yay! And from the people I least expected to hear from too. And one of them is about to get married. Jeez. This is what happens when you don’t stay in good contact with people. If I hadn’t emailed this girl, she probably wouldn’t have emailed me and then I would never have known about it.

The main reason I’ve been so virtuous about emailing recently is that I’ll shortly be returning to London for a couple of weeks and I wanted to let everyone know I was going to be there just in case they would be available for a catch-up. OK, granted, three of my best friends are no longer living in the UK and all the rest except one are no longer living in London but last time I was there I managed to meet up with three people so I’m hopeful about this time round.

My best friend’s birthday is coming up and I emailed her to try and get her to tell me what she wants for her birthday. I haven’t seen her for almost a year and I have no idea what she has/hasn’t read/watched/listened to or even if her taste is still the same. Considering we call ourselves best friends (have been from the age of eight) that’s decidedly crap. Haven’t managed to talk to her on the phone since my last entry either. Must. Try. Harder.
