…our regular correspondence soon – tomorrow, I suspect, the holiday is almost over. But here’s the Friday Five in the meantime.
1. Do you remember your first best friend? Who was it?
Torkjel was my first best friend, I guess – two years older than me, he’s the son of friends of my parents, so we’ve basically known each other since I was born. We lived just a few hundred meters apart for a couple of years when I was 3 or 4, so we spent a lot of time together.
2. Are you still in touch with this person?
Occasionally, though it’s a couple of years since last time.
3. Do you have a current close friend?
Yes. A couple, in fact. I’m probably closest to Linda at the moment, though.
4. How did you become friends with this person?
We started fencing at the same time in Trondheim, and hit it off pretty quickly. The funny thing is that a mutual friend of ours had been talking for years about introducing us to each other, as she was sure we were long-lost twin sisters or something (equally batty, I suspect).
5. Is there a friend from your past that you wish you were still in contact with? Why?
I lost touch with Marianne who I met in Aarhus, and that bothers me. Anyone know a Marianne Jepsen whose family used to live in Tønder? Get her to get in touch, will you?
