The countdown.....
31 days til I fly........
Its been a weird few days since my first post. Ashi and I are getting on better than ever - which I suppose is pretty much due to the lack of pressure for it to work and the innevitability of the end. Our timing just sucks, I suppose - without all the background noise throughout the relationship I think we could have lasted the distance.
I'm going to miss her and Devlin terribly, but set up Skype accounts for them both to keep in touch, and got a headset/webcam for home. I've taken a couple of days off work this week as well to spend time with Dev while he's on school hols. Went to Stump Cross Caverns on Tuesday and had a great time - it felt like we were a family, and that was amazing.
Work is totally hectic at the moment - rushing through trying to complete outrstanding jobs before I go, but Roger has agreed that if I come back mid-Jan I can work for the Estate, which is fantastic news. It gives me a safety net to work with - if I decide to come back then I have some options. He's also very kindly offered the use of his house in Australia. Think I'm going to take him up on it....the idea of a BBQ on the beach on Christmas Day sounds like a once in a lifetime thing to do :-) Quite fancy New Year in Australia too, and I reckon driving between Brisbane airport and 1770 looks like a bit of a scenic tour along the East Coast. I don't really want to make many plans at all for the trip....i think for it to work as I want it to it needs to be as spontaneous as possible....but then there are a couple of things that I'd like to do that I'll aim for in the loosest sense of the word :-)
Need to get my Aussie Visa sorted out this week!
