Life In The Love of Friends

I figured as we fly to Sydney tomorrow and I may not get a post until Friday or Saturday I best leave a farewell blog.
I last posted Wednesday, so, what's gone on since? It seems like a fair bit, although it's not really. Mostly enjoyable though. On Thursday there was school as usual, then something that is becoming a tradition. A walk into the village with Kyla and Beau. The past few weeks this has happened, and we usually make a few stops around the village. Shops or cafe. This week it was a chips and ice cream kind of day. Chips and ice cream to be eaten by the monument, right in the middle of the village. Then I had to get myself off to HaBYT. I had to shoot two fairly small parts, so the rest of the evening was spent hanging with everyone, mainly Kurt and Liz, trying to be quiet so no noise would pick up on the camera in the next room. This was immense fun. We shared iPods and sweets and had some good conversation.
Friday was the final day of term 2. This meant the school was partially empty, but those that did bother turning up were in good spirits. I needed to purchase a wall charger for my iPod, so I can survive next week, so after school went into town. I got the charger, and some new tights. I really don't need more tights, but I shan't let that stop me. Once home I spent a productive evening getting most of my packing done. I've been quite successful in leaving lots of room to shop in Sydney.
On Saturday it was work as usual. I had a pretty good day. We were busy, which kept the energy up, and I was excited for Sydney so everything seemed good. After work I just went home for the evening. I did a little more packing, but that's about all.
Today was very mixed. It was fantastic, with one bad factor, but that was a fair sized factor. This morning I went to Kyla's to meet up with her and Katie. This is fantastic. I haven't seen Katie since the end of last year and had a great time catching up with her. However, there was drama thrown in, by Kyla's family troubles. She got picked up and taken home. Grounded. Then as we wanted to continue with the day's plans, out she snuck. Maybe not the best idea, and sure there will be consequences... but we had so much fun. Whilst Kyla was home Katie and I had bought the supplies. Ice cream, V, pretzels, M&Ms, donuts. I will tell you now, ice cream and donuts and AMAZING together. We sat eating this great combination as we decided what should be the next step. We needed a friend with a car, and we are all very grateful to Uta, as he was just the right friend. He picked us up and we took a random drive before parking for a short while at the river. He then needed to get somewhere, so we were dropped at Katie's. We spent time there with her gorgeous cat, Pusspuss. Her mother then wanted the house in peace, so Kyla and I came back to my house. Later on Abe joined us here, which I was very thankful for when Kyla received a text which made her burst into tears. His support was well appreciated then. Of course, sadly, they had to leave, as my flight leaves reasonably early. I should actually be sleeping right now, so I'm going to make one final check of my luggage and then retire. I am very excited. I shall report back when I return to this land, of the long white cloud.
