I got to have lunch with my friends by the river in town today. Which was nice. It was only about a five or six minute drive. That’s double nice becuase yesterday I was daydreaming a bit about how nice it might be to be able to bike to see friends, to just toss Roby on a bike with a little pink helmet, or a green one, and bike to a bar to see a friend.

Of course now all of my friends live in places where they can’t bike to bars, and most of the bars with loads of people who bike to them are filled with loads of people and most of them aren’t people I’d like to hang out with very much. 

So, a five or seven minute drive was just the ticket, especially because Jack and Jacob were there. Robinia was slightly ignored because we were all talking too much, but then she started picking up acorns and putting them in her pockets, a massive development, really. A beautiful one. 

I ate pasta and Jack had a sandwich and Jacob at some salad and Roby had a few bites of noodles but not much. Her eating days are ahead of her. 

In anycase, we might get to do lunch this way again soon, I hope. Just before naptime. That’s a nice time for lunch, I think.
