I have been thinking about the nature of friendship and loyalty recently both on my own behalf and in light of reading Proust. Proust must have been a terrible friend! He was so demanding of others and yet would drop them in an instant if it suited him! I had a very interesting discussion about it with David on the way to school. His outlook is more realistic than mine I think, and yet he also gets hurt when people let him down. It hasn't been easy for him moving school three times, but he has done it without complaint. I am constantly amazed at his mature and well thought out opinions.
After school I drove over to Hamilton to the annual D of E validation evening. It was nice to see all the familiar faces and I felt so proud of my excellent team. So many years that I have been going to the validation evening! This will probably be my last though, I am increasingly too busy to give the time and attention that the group deserves. This year's Bronze expeditions will be my swan song.
