More adieus

I suspect that I might perform better on adrenaline. Again it feels like lastminute.com as I realise that my week of flu and avoiding people, means that I have 2 days to do everything and say goodbye.

Today I had brunch with a friend at her house which has a spectacular view of the west side of Johannesburg and the Northcliff ridge. On my way there I was treated to a smog free view of the city skyline. Unfortunately my phone was tucked away out of reach to take a photo. But my watch did notify me that my sister was calling. She NEVER calls and I had this sinking feeling that I had forgotten to close her gate and the alarm company was letting her know. As I did my about turn, I realised that I would get the same skyline view on my second attempt at my visit. The universe was telling me to really take in the view, because soon it will be very different.

My friend's picture of her view of a threatening storm cloud from yesterday..

Now my mind is mentally racing through all the things still undone and I realise that perhaps I haven't been as diligent. It still feels far away, like Christmas often does and then it catches me gift-free. But, this is a 46 year old dream, about to come to fruition, so I can be excused for feeling like it is all surreal.

I'm going to stay at the sea. Yey!

Now to pack my bags...
