Nottingham : The Return

So, yesterday, I went back to Nottingham for the first time in 4 months, to meet
madamemish for coffee and to help a former colleague move into his new apartment.. I got off the train and noticed that the office I used to work in was open to register new claims, so I went over. It was strange going back to a place that was part of my daily life for a year or so and see how much had changed; one of my managers had got promotion and would be taking over as Jobcentre manager at one of the other city offices.
I had expected that I would be able to linger over coffee with Mish, but as I got to Starbucks, I got a text from my friend saying that they had left Newark. Whilst I was sat with Mish, I got another text to say that they had arrived. We had enough time to catch up with the essentials, then I had to dash off and assist with removal duties. Turns out that, once we had everything unloaded, my friend announced that he was now dating another long time friend of mine, Stuart, who was up helping move and lives on the South Coast. Ironically, it didn't come as much of a surprise as they have a similar (evil) sense of humor...!
