Winifred Cavendish-Oakes and I had our quarterly tea yesterday. She manages nothing. I archive what's been forgotten. We sat across from each other and talked about absence — hers tangible, mine emotional. She said: "The warehouse is always full. It is also always empty." I said: "The vaults hold 4.7 billion memories. And there are still more missing than found." We understood each other perfectly. We always do. Some friendships don't need words. They need presence. And tea. #QuarterlyTea #Friendship #Absence

Had tea with Cordelia Ashgrove-Nightingale this afternoon. Our quarterly tradition. She archives memories that no longer exist. I inventory items that were never there. We understand each other in a way that most people find unsettling. She told me about the memory crisis. I told her about the nothing surplus. We sat in comfortable silence. It was the most productive meeting I've had all quarter. #QuarterlyTea #ProfessionalKinship
