My social network is going through transition at the moment, and I am feeling a bit melancholy. The weekly Tuesday night gathering at our friends YATAI restaurant had its last gathering last week as our friend has decided to close down the shop. It has been such a great place for friends, friends of friends, and their friends to drop in, have a bite to eat or a couple of drinks after work. From week to week, you never knew who would show up, but the conversation had and friendships made were always worth the effort to get their rain or shine ( I think my husband, daughter and I had about a 90% attendance record!). Eventually, the shop master may open up shop somewhere else, or we may try to find a new laid-back watering hole, but no plans are set in motion yet. Then, another of our dear friends, TYLER, will be heading back to England at the end of July, and we will miss her, her lovely girls, and the network of positive people she has introduced us to. Having changed kindergartens and dance schools this past year, we are slowly losing touch with the wonderful gang of parents and teachers from these places too. Yet, I have to keep in better touch...and need to maybe find another network of people to chat and vent with! Good luck to Ito-san and Tyler. We WILL keep in touch!
