7PM I got a phone call from my marital arts pal, Havey, who lives in Clapham, Gauden Road. He said, I should come and collect my Aikido book: Aikido And The Dynamic Sphere; because he would be leaving the country soon.
8PM I went there, and, collected the book. We both drinked Guiness beer together; and, also, spent a little time doing some stand up sparring. I showed him some BJJ moves on my iPad; but, as his house is not internet connected; I couldn't show him anything more. He also showed me some hand made nunchakus; and, we practiced a few moves; however, inside of the house, space was really very limited...so we had to go really slow; and, be very careful indeed not to break any furniture/lights/hit the walls. Much to my surprise when I asked him the time; the answer was already 12:00 midnight; thus, it was time for me to return back home. He said, he would be leaving Monday; and, I might not see him again in say 6 months to possibly 5 years.
My original intention was just to go there to quickly pick up the book; then, go off and see a Cineworld movie. However, because he invited me in, I thought it would be impolite to refuse; and, as our conversation continued on and on; I didn't see the point in interrupting him to leave abruptly. Anyway, there is no emergency, I can see Cineworld movies any day of the week. Whereas, Harvey, I might not see again for quite a long while to come. I told him to tell his wife that I wish her well.
