hiatus/bye, london

So, it's done.  I finished work at 8.30 last night, leaving post it notes on all sorts of partially finished tasks and doling out my stapler, hole punch etc like stringy gifts to those vultures picking over my desk at the end of the day. 

I walked out, exhausted.  End of my London era. 

SOMERSET SUNSET.  BYE, ENGLAND.  YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.

I spent this morning cancelling water accounts, subscriptions and booking rental cars (OK, so it wasn't all administrative - got my hair done too, god knows I needed it - we're talking a birds' nest with roots.  A friend has been calling me Medusa).  We're in this weird whirl of preparing to depart and I can't believe it's finally here.  Going to the theatre one last time tonight.  Having a goodbye and drink us dry party tomorrow.  A final English fling at Wimbledon.  The movers arrive Sunday.  It's really going to be over soon.


P AT WEEZER, BRIXTON ACADEMY, 2011. 

I won't be posting often, if at all, during our travels.  But I will be back, autumn for the northern hemisphere, spring for the southern.  I will miss your company, internets. 

HELLO, AOTEAROA.  CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU.

I hate goodbyes.  I think I need a drink.
