Back to the far SW suburb of London where I lived circa 2012/13 and never understood why nobody would make the effort to visit. “Come East,” they said – I get it now but tonight was a given. We surprised our beautiful friend Cara (l) who has just hung up her Qantas flying wings in pursuit of Interior Design studies back home in Melbourne. This is Cara thanking her BFF Lauren (r) in genuine disbelief for organising an unforeseen room full of love; friends, drinks and balloons. Friendship goals.

Fact: Dunbar’s number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships; relationships in which an individual knows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person. This number was first proposed in the 1990’s by British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, who found a correlation between primate brain size and average social group size. By using the average human brain size and extrapolating from the results of primates, he proposed that humans can comfortably maintain only 150 stable relationships. Dunbar explained it informally as “the number of people you would not feel embarrassed about joining uninvited for a drink if you happened to bump into them in a bar”.
