more days without my small society

This is also what happens to my small society, friends come to stay. I like this, after all friends are important, but the small society is put on hold. I manage short stop, we both potter round my garden waiting for the phone and continue our chatting. But no Coasties, instead I meet another friend, more chatting, or gadding as her husband calls it! So the footpaths will be slightly less cleared this week. None of this will cause the world to stop, but when you add up all the volunteers who have friends to visit it will slow things down, won't it?
