a new countdown

i've really enjoyed maintaining this blog over the past few months, and would like to thank everyone for swinging by and taking a look. i hope 2005 is a great year for each and every one of you.

now that january has finally arrived, i'm happy to say that i can begin the 'real' countdown in earnest. only seven days till i fill my little backpack with all my worldly possessions, climb on an aeroplane and wave goodbye to my family and friends for what could be a very long time.

i hope i like it in the UK. i hope i manage to find a stimulating job, and good friends. i hope i don't get too homesick. i hope the weather doesn't disagree with me too much. i hope i hope i hope!

7 days?!? I didn't realise it was so soon! So, when r we catching up before you leave? Is there a gathering in the pipeline or do you have time to catch-up/say-goodbye properly before u go? :(

jojo said...

i'm not having drinks or anything - hate those big goodbye scenes, but have put a night aside for you, so i guess sometime this week. maybe tuesday or wednesday?

Wednesday eve sounds a treat! :)

jojo said...

shall we come to yours then? ha ha.

Unknown said...

you know, you could if you wanted to. or shall we choose one of the many pubs we know well?

i really don't mind. tim's saying his goodbyes to a couple of work buddies on wed nite, so it might be easier to meet at the same place. he could have his table, and we'll have ours. don't know where he's going yet, could be mt lawley way...

how do you feel about that?
