Party all the time.

Great party Friday night! Thanks so much to everyone who came along, for the lovely cards and gifts, and our wonderful DJs: Florian, Joe, Anthony and Sam. And to Ross and Pinar who came all the way down from Newcastle to see us off. Had such a great time with you all, and it was truly sad to say goodbye, although it still feels a bit surreal, as if I'm going to be turning up for work again on Monday, or that I'm going on a two week holiday and will then return. (Of course I always have parties with 150 people to celebrate a two week holiday).

Also, a really big thanks to Diddy and Gabi, who flew in from Prague to see us off. Sadly, flight delays and London Transport let them down on Friday night, but they more than made up for it last night. I am truly thankful that you made such a huge effort.

So we have a couple more lunches, shipping guys coming to pick up our very bloated suitcase tomorrow, hopefully a nice walk along the river, then take off on Tuesday evening. Gosh, I wonder when it will feel real!
