Who do you spend the most time with?

I’ve noticed that the older I get, the smaller my circle becomes.

During the working day, I spend most of my time with two other people. We’re a close-knit team and, after enough hours together, you end up knowing each other’s habits, quirks, and coffee requirements better than you probably should. 

Outside of work, it’s mostly Mrs Bob and our cat Tiddles (which, for legal reasons and feline dignity, is not actually her name).

Truthfully, I’m not a particularly social creature.

I don’t go out much unless it’s lodge night, Saturday coffee morning, or I’ve wandered off somewhere with a camera looking for birds that refuse to sit still long enough to be photographed. 

And I’m perfectly content with that.

So, who do I spend the most time with?

The people who matter.

Because if I’m choosing to spend lots of time with you when nobody is paying either of us to be there, then you’re probably someone rather special to me.

And these days, that feels like time well spent.

Stay safe,

Bc.
