I had dinner with Mum (visiting from Brisbane) and the family of a good friend (who I went to primary school with) at their place tonight, and we sat at the table tonight talking for about 2 1/2 hours straight. I realised it's something I've missed since moving out (or kicked out… it depends on your perspective 
)… We reminisced about primary school and discussed what all of our classmates were doing, where they were, and other general stuff.
While I enjoy the freedom living away from my family has given me, I also miss sitting around with my family (and friends) at the table, discussing anything and everything that tickles our fancy. Without a proper dining room (or even a dining table!), it's a bit hard to do.
Ah well…
