Irwell from The Old Pint Pot

I suppose that, in theory, introducing two close friends oughtn't to be complex or a source of worry. And yet, each friendship is individual, and I find that different people bring out different things in me, so bringing them together does make me mildly anxious.

Of course, for the most part, the worries are unfounded, and when I first introduced Yoss and Simon, they got on like a house on fire, despite being very different people. And then when I had Covid and couldn't go along to 'Different Trains' that end up with them having the evening without me there.

So, I had no reservations about meeting them both for a few drinks this evening, starting at the Old Fire Station and moving on to the Old Pint Pot. We had planned to go 'round to Sakura to eat, but as that turned out to be closed, we retreated to Porta.
