Saying Goodbye


With six weeks notice on my job and approx 8 weeks in total to what would end up being my departure date I felt like I had plenty of time to make preparations.Well time does fly, it has all been a bit of a rush.With all the boring adult bits to arrange like my TAX and flat and banks and collage etc slowly getting done there was also the much more important buinsness of saying goodbye.
I visited my bother and his family in Bristol for little Sophie naming ceremony, moved out of my flat and into my friends Roys spare room with 2 weeks still left to work.Then onto my leaving party where after approx 9pm I remember nothing except being to drunk to even pick my mobile phone up off the taxi floor. Yes I did leave it there which really annoyed me later when I remembered how stupid I was.
Managed to get "le train" to role again. This is the silly name for when I go cycling with Simon and Adrian. Managed to get 65miles in the morning before my leaving drinks. Might explian why I was able to sleep on Scots floor with no problems if I was that tired.
A similar memory loss happened at my Work/City leaving drinks where apparently I like to bite people when smashed, news to me. All in all a lot of goodbyes in lots of different places in and around London and lots of rushing around.

I visited my Grandad in Blackpool where he was waiting to be taken for a drink with his coat on as we arrived. Managed to finished his 1st pint before I had hardly wet my lips. Not bad for 80..I think.Said goodbye to the rest of my family and friends and made my way back from Manchester to London, just in time to catch a flight to Ibiza for one last "fandango" with Stevo, Roy and Alison. This time did not do any jumping off the villa roof into the pool, so tried wake boarding instead with Roys' cool speed-boat, wicked fun.
AND WHERE THE HELL DID ROBBIE DISAPEAR TO?
Now back in London and packing my bag, I leave in 2 days, just got some fea/mite spray and wash bag to get. No more dinners, BBQs, football matches, boozers, casinos. No more drinking and lots of early nights. I'll fix Lees' computer tonight and see a special friend tomorrow and all done.
