Jan

I’ve missed my friend a lot, and I’m feeling very lucky to be in his company again.

we rose late this morning, enjoying a nice big German breakfast of rolls and cheese and chocolate spreads, after which Jan showed me around Würzburg. we climbed the hill up to the castle fortress, from which we could see as far as the vineyards surrounding the city.

unable to find somewhere to stop for coffee in the busy piazza, we bought some drinks from the supermarket and sat on the wall by the river, where we spent hours catching each other up on our lives. the sun shone, passing through ripples of clouds. a really precious afternoon.

after stopping for a beer to watch some soccer in the pub near the house, we bought groceries and I made us stir fry for dinner. Jan and I DJed as we chatted in the kitchen. time passed without our realising as we laughed and wondered about a ridiculous range of people and moments and possibilities.

it’s been a wonderful day I hope to remember. I’m feeling very lucky - though it’s somewhat surreal to be spending time together again. <<
