We met Mum, John & Noreen, our kids and sibs and families down at Cotts Beach and and we swam, ate fish and chips, drank wine, chatted, layed about and generally did the Cotts thing and enjoyed the evening listening to the screeching rainbow lorekeets!
It was so great to see everyone, and sad knowing we won't see everyone again until next year. The kids will be ones that will have shot up by the time we get back! The two little blonde surfies were so adorable! Aww...
I think we'll have a send off party at the airport. Thank god i don't wear mascara anymore! (Thanks to those tats!) There might be some tears on Friday...
The next 4 days are going to be so busy around here..I'm not sure if i'm wanting Friday to hurry up, or for the time now to slow down. I do know it still all feels a bit surreal still. Friday night we'll know the reality though - we start our budget accomodation in Hong Kong. But it won't matter, we'll both be so zonked.
But I'm thinking, if the quality of the bed dicates the stars on a hotel, then we're not seeing any stars from our blow up mattress that we have to pump up each night. And no fridge either. And no plates. Who packed anyway!
Actually, our camping has begun already!
But we're cool with that. The next door neighbours bins are more looking exciting by the minute. And we do have to get used to park benches don't we. Ah, it's not as bad as that, but well, we are planning a year without working! Donations please! :-)
