another job comes to an end

I finished my job today to give myself a few days to do the final bits of arranging required to ensure we can go to the UK next week.

tomorrow we will do our final packing and then over sat, sun and monday we will move everything out of our house.

once we are out it will be cleaned and then hopefully rented.

we are now pretty much all systems go for the trip:

- everyone has a passport and visa now (cut it a bit fine but all that ends well).
- we have money in the bank.
- Sue has a job to go to and i have a potential job (just need to turn up without two heads).
- we have a short term accomodation set up (3 weeks when we get there).

all that needs to happen now is for us to move out, say our goodbyes and then get on a plane. once we get there we get to do everything again in reverse (yippee not).

so how does it feel? its still a bit strange really.

- it is highly likely today was sue's last work day in Australia (she is celebrating this right as i write - it could be a bit messy later), and it is quite possibly mine as well.
- we both feel we may never return to live in this house and
- we simply have no idea what turns the four lives (sue, jeff, ash and georgia) will take over the next couple of years.

there is much to be hopeful about - new jobs, new friends (and for some maybe lovers), new experiences, travel - but only time will tell where this next little journey in the great game of life will take us.

wish us well - see you on the other side of a brief intermission
