Day 228. Not everyone is an equalist.


The term equalist is significant in my circle of friends. It was used to justify a nonsensical argument in a way that only fools seem able to do. From that day on we've loved the phrase.

Tonight a bunch of us met up in London for a surprise dinner in celebration of a friend's 40th birthday. Seven adults and five children travelled from Kent, Norfolk and Newcastle to reminisce, catch up and share another landmark in our 22 year friendship.

Dessert wine was ordered. The glass on the left is the measure my husband poured for me, on the right, the measure he poured for himself. Clearly we do not conform to the idea of equalists when wine is in the equation. Next time we'll apply the pour or choose rule and equality may once again be a cornerstone in our group. For alcohol at least.
