The last week has been filled with many, many eventful events. Yes, indeedy. Thursday night we ventured out to Glasgow to take a trip back in time with Fleetwood Mac. They were amazing. All of them aged 60 and over - Lindsay Buckingham was on the stage for the whole 2 1/2 hour concert. Seriously loved them! After getting home around 1am I still managed to make it to work for 7am and then head straight from work out for my work Farewell Party. After a few Gins, a few more Cosmopolitans and then unknown rounds of Jagermeisters and various other short drinks I made it, stumbling, home and managed to do this without throwing... away my good name. I was taken care of by my fiance and then served with a hearty hangover curing breakfast the next morning.
Alas it was not over yet. No rest for the wicked they say. That night we headed out to have dinner with some friends. More eating, drinking and making merry. Delicious dinner, clever conversation and then heading out into town to the Royal Oak for a bit of folk and the Jazz club for, well, Jazz. Cold winds, rain, taxi hunting, chips and cheese, coffee, more conversation, walking home in the rain. 4am I finally got to answer the call of my bed.
I'm still recovering... I'm too old to drink and stay out so late. 6 more sleeps till we land in South Africa. I will make it. I'm getting stronger by the hour.

All our bags are packed...
we are ready to go! And if the truth be told, feeling a little sad to say goodbye to the friends we've made here and Edinburgh. What a place!
I can't lie and say I'm sad to be missing the winter though. I'm looking forward to seeing the sun in 11 more sleeps!
A hectic couple of weeks it has been. Packing up our life here into boxes and sending them off to Australia made it so squared away and final. We left our home of the last 2 years and 7 months after a week of making sure everything was where the landlord wanted it and cleaner than when we moved in. We locked up and handed in the keys. And that was it. Goodbye Lower Granton Road! We'll never meet again.
And soon our new adventure begins... if we survive the Farewell Parties.
