Saturday morning started with a last-minute escape room which had just opened up – so it was a fitting farewell for the gang and me.  The rest of the day was sorting out how much I could fit in the suitcase to take along, check everything that remained and make plans for those things.  Oh, and help to setup for my farewell party which would be tonight.  I am super thankful that my parents arranged most of the party – I was running around like a headless chook that day!

The party itself was great, and I really appreciate how many people turned up for the evening. One of the nice side-effects was that I got to talking to Rachel and Dan: They are looking for a place, ideally down south, with 2-3 bedrooms….  Sounded like my place.  I suggested they could drop by and take a look sometime, to see if it would suit them. There was loads of fond farewells as I said goodbye to the last 25 years of my life. At some point, in the middle of the night, everyone had gone home and I dropped into bed too.
