It's my penultimate night in Darwin. If I'm being technically correct, it's my last night, but as my plane home doesn't leave until after midnight on Saturday morning, we'll call it the penultimate night.
We went out with the workmates this evening. I like these people. We've been working together for two and a half years. When I leave the company, it will be two and a half years to the day. It's a long time, and you create bonds.
Tomorrow, I have to say goodbye to them in the flesh. I'll be working online for another two weeks, then Darwin is no more.
Tonight, we took a penultimate walk along walk along the pier, taking in the last of the sunset as we walked home.
Tonight I had a penultimate swim in the pool here - the last one I'll have with my colleague. We've put many a worry to right in that pool over the last two years.
My little blender had its penultimate run this morning, making my protein shake - tomorrow, it will be used again before being put in my suitcase. The USB blender has been used for the last two years and has lived in my Darwin bag. This trip, what I don't give away is being packed and taken with me.
The ice cube tray and the yoga mat were given to one of our admin girls. They've done so much for us over the years. They are the angels that book the flights and accommodation. It's been a thankless task.
Allegedly EJ and another colleague and I will go down the wharf one last time tomorrow night. The joys of a late flight. I'm half-packed. My dirty clothes are minimal. There's little in my fridge.
I'm not sure how I'm going to feel tomorrow night. Bittersweet, I suspect.
