Last night I attended a farewell dinner for a fellow I worked with for nine years during the 1990’s. The dinner was held at a Thai restaurant. It seems a long time since I’ve eaten Thai food. The atmosphere at the farewell was suitably convivial. A lot of stories were told (some of them true)about this fellow who’d spent forty-seven years in his occupation of choice. It was a great opportunity for me to catch up with former colleagues, many of whom I hadn’t seen for some years.
