Saying Goodbye....

Again!

Quite some time ago, I stumbled upon this post on a random blog and felt really bad for her. I remember reading it and saying to Paul that night that my studio was more than big enough for 2 people and that perhaps I should send her a message. Again he thought I was a freak for wanting to meet stangers from the internet and I let it slide.

Fast forward a little bit and I found out that Bianca was a friend of one of mine and we ended up meeting but this was after she had moved back into her house after the fire. Small world right? Even smaller was the fact that Bianca was also friends with my gorgeous high school friend Mel and that they had actually tweeted a few times about me!

So again, I found myself in the company of an amazing person that really was wonderful in so many ways! I have a tendancy to meet people like that, Miss Jacqi included! I attract them, perhaps  Ismell nice?

There were copious amounts of coffee, fabric buying, shopping, gasbagging, screaming at children, whinging, bitching, stitching, fancy schmancy stapler buying (*giggle*) and best of all......PAD THAI!

Bianca was my tower of strength when I came off medication, she may not have realised it but seriously, she was an awesome sounding board, shoulder and hugger at the time. Thank you Miss B, you really do rock!

The Woods spent Christmas with us because living in Darwin, that's what you do. You have orphan Christmases as there are no family around. The kids had a ball and we drank, ate and drank some more. At the time, I know she couldn't bare to watch but there was a little bit of this going on too..

And then it was time for her to leave. Time to pack up those gorgeous smalls and move back to Victoria. I tell you, that was the worlds best secret, that one.

I. was. the. last. to. know.

One minute we were talking about a trampoline for her front yard and then the next...well the next she was telling me she was leaving in 3 weeks time.

More tears as the three weeks passed and then some more when she actually left.

I know she will be back though, I would almost put money on it but until then Darwin won't be the same without her beautiful, happy, shiney, sparkly self here.

So until we meet up again Miss B, much love to you as you brave the cold and battle the preteen, you will always be a special friend to me.

p.s - I still can't bring myself to comment on her goodbye post.
