Like old times

Went out for dinner and to the pub tonight with some old friends, some newer friends and a very friendly brand new face. To celebrate Claire's life and all that she meant to us. It was interesting to see how we all react and think about her, and I'd like to think she was there with us somehow. It was an interesting night for me too because I'm not much for going and sitting in pubs but tonight reminded me of how good it can be when everyone is laughing and enjoying the moment. I barely remember eating anything even tho we went for dinner, but that's because the company was so good. I really hope we manage to stick to our plans and meet up again at least a few times this year, or at the very least stay in touch more often. At the very least I hope this becomes an annual thing. Claire meant different things to all of us individually and at different times in our lives. She is truly missed.

Take me out tonight
Where there’s music and there’s people
And they’re young and alive..
