living in the fantasy

This weekend I did some socialising, meaning going out to the green market with a friend and today, visiting friends who are involved in a creative/environmental/ngo. I have not gone to a meeting in an age and a day, so when the creator insisted I come and also that he'd pick me up, I decided to go. Everything baout today was idyllic, really special. From entering their open house to listening to music very familiar from my childhood, because my firneds dad died last year and he has all of his records. The home is like the ones I remember from my childhood as well. particularly my parents house, so this means filled with bookcases and African sculpture, paintings and sculpture, comfortable couches and Scandanavian furniture and of course tropical plants. It just felt like a huge hug. We had brunch and the conversations were meaningful and lively. When we finally left, we spied my friend from the day before at another friends new business. Hers is a cottage industry where her focus is sustainability and we saw some old friends and stopped and had vegan chocolate cake and another rousing conversation. It was just lovely.
