Friends Like These!
I have had the same group of friends since I was at school. Obviously I have met more people as I have grown older but the nucleus has stayed the same. My group of friends are very varied and have a wide variety of occupations. To get through life easier I think everybody needs a best friend who is a car mechanic, doctor, hairdresser and solicitor. Here’s why!
I have a friend called Jamie who has helped me out on more than one occasion. I passed my test at seventeen and I bought an old Nissan Micra. It broke down constantly but it was all I could afford at the time. Thankfully Jamie was always on hand. He recovered my Jaguar X-Type Parts car for me on numerous occasions and always fixed the car for “mates rates”. This usually involved a pint at his local on the way home.
Thankfully, by the time I was twenty I managed to purchase a proper car. As I got married and had children, Maria Kiernan became my next invaluable friend. She was a doctor. It was like having my own personal NHS service but direct to a doctor. Infact considering the amount of times I called her in the middle of the night, I am surprised she is still my friend.
Every girl also needs to have a hairdresser as a friend, for emergency bad hair days or a last minute date. And finally solicitors are invaluable for house purchasing, divorcing or other little scrapes we run into.
As the Beatles sang, “I’ll get by with a little help from my friends”. So very very true.
