I'm on holidays, woowoo!
So happy for my 3 weeks off. I leave for Australia in about 13 hours (that includes the train journey to Heathrow), and I still have to pack. :) Nothing like cutting it fine. I figure that it'd take me longer to pack if I gave myself the time...plus, I didn't do my washing til quite late and things were still drying even this morn.
So, this is the weather comparison (Launie is the closest I can find to Dport on iGoogle). It appears that like just when I left Australia, it'll be raining when I arrive back. Not much has changed. ;) People keep saying that when you go home, it can be a bit of a shock as living on the other side of the world you feel that life has moved swiftly on, but that things are as they always were in your hometown.
I understand what they're saying, but I beg to differ. I know that even though I may have experienced many different aspects of life over here, living in a Global melting pot, a lot can change in 2 years no matter where you are. I will be able to see definite glimpses in this from my neices who've grown up a lot in the time I've been gone, but also in the spaces left by the people who've passed away since I left.
Plus, a lot of good friends have moved away over the last few years and/or married and started families. I look forward to meeting many new faces, especially be they gurgling bundles of joy. I can hardly count how many - is it 8 or 9 babies of people that I know quite well, that have been born since I left less than 2 years ago? Amazing.
Taraah. See you on the other side.
