So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu

Eeek! Today's the day. We're leaving today and I fly out tomorrow.

Bags are packed and I think I'm sorted. My life is in order. All this packing and cleaning and clearing out has been quite refreshing. I feel tidy - which suits my personality very well.

We had a lovely little family exursion yesterday evening to Mt. Tilga - from the top there are 360 deg views - not that there's that much to see! A good marker together as a family...and took some funny family photos.

Mostly nervous, and feeling slightly surreal.

See you in Switzerland! First stop: Singapore

.

12 australian nights

there is something really good about cleaning up and clearing out.
today i posted off 5 packages of items sold or given away etc.
5 packages of stuff outta my life.
yay for me.

lovely sister j dyed my hair for me, so now i'm a brown eyed and brown haired girl.

finished reading 'no ordinary view' and it was excellent. i highly recommend it, and it predecessor, 'my seventh monsoon.'

it's been really sad to hear of all the loss of life from the victoria fires. i think the count is up to 173. i hate all the media-ness of it all, but its all been very sobering and sad for australia.

and, in other news, i bought a pair of colorados from ebay - to replace my favourite pair that finally wore out last month after 7 years.

12 more sleeps until i leave aussie land. eek.
