Hands Full of Glitter and Tofu : 2011 Day 245 (Friday 2 September)- Day of Farewells

Today I said goodbye a lot. Not by choice naturally, and I hate it when things end, but things were indeed ending - some temporarily, some permanently - and so I said goodbye....

First to my gorgeous man who flew to Melbourne for a long weekend with his family for birthday celebrations and Father's Day lunch. I stayed the night at his place, we were on the road at 6 a.m. and I still made the 6.58 train. Busy start to the day, and sad too since I love our Melbourne trips.

I got to work in time to farewell my lovely friend Francis, who after 15 years, is moving on to greener corporate pastures a lot closer to home, and far more aligned with his skills and the things he loves doing. We celebrated, naturally, we a buffet breakfast at the on site cafe which was actually quite delicious, if massively unhealthy!

Finally I said goodbye to my desk for at least one lunchtime and grabbed some sushi at the local shopping centre with my friend Bill. So nice to get away! Alas we had to go back.

Onogiri HAI!
