There are two couples I was very friendly with years ago. We all drifted apart - although I think they have stayed in touch more with each other. Over the last few years I have tried to make arrangements with them and have felt rather fobbed off so we've never met up. It wasn't a falling out, more geography. I'm having a post-lockdown 50th party and I would like to see them all. But I would also like to invite (test!) them just to see if they fob me off again!
