Packing Day.

Not snowing here. Yesterday was my absolutly last day at the fuzz, said bye to the crew and started my new job, which i like to call, "Put 100 kilos of stuff into a 30 kilo bag."
The first thing ive decided to leave behind is the cochroaches, which having heard we were moving to europe have declared a free for all. They've stared moving their stuff in to our room.
Luke is thinking of charging them rent, while nova is experimenting with seeing how flat she can get them, by hurling shoes at them.
Were having a going away drink on tuesday the 3rd of Feb at the trinity.

One month to go....

The jazz is playing, the birds are chirping, and the clock is ticking. In month from today, Nova and i are saying adios to ridge st and flying to the frozen hermit kingdom of korea.
Part of me will be sad to see the back of Surry Hills (again), but i have a feeling that its time.
Had dinner with Geoff and Rach last night, its been 6 years since i met Fry, and it doesnt seem nearly that long.
