It's awkward when someone arrives unexpectedly and you don't have something special to offer them. Especially when it's someone you like to make feel good. Although in reality when we've been without a friend for a long time just being able to chat and catch up also feeds us in a way.
Last December a great friend I hadn't seen in a while (he lives in Australia by the way) showed up at my work. We ended up going to a restaurant for lunch and a chat.
If one day I show up at your house unexpectedly don't worry if you only have what's on the plate in the picture to offer me 😉😀😀 Everything looks delicious. 🤤
I agree, just the catch up was good and the person had no expectations on anything other than that but I like to feel like I've made a person welcome and comfortable; if I allow them into my house it means I want them there and will do my best to keep them happy.
That speaks for how good a host you are. I already kind of knew that, as I feel taken care of when I visit your virtual home on Hive. 👍
I do my best, sometimes it's enough and sometimes not I suppose.
