Tomorrow I leave the blue skies and blazing sunshine and head to cold, wet and windy England to have Christmas with the family....first time in what seems like years. I am soooo looking foward to eating roast beef and yorkshire puddings on Sunday... I hope you read this Dad!!
I'm so exhausted right now, here's hoping I sleep on the plane, I've been cleaning my house so much I almost want to stay as it's never been so clean! And this leaving lark is expensive, I've had to pay all my bills in advance, fill the house with food (unwritten rule for house sitters is you leave them with food!) and get everything washed and ready this end for Jaime to come and live here for a month - can't leave the place empty, and someone has to look after the dogs. It's not me house sitting for a change, I'm actually the one leaving!
So, that's it for now....tomorrow I start the epic journey back (with sweaters, coat, hat, scarf and gloves in my hand luggage!!)

Talent Show 2009
The day of the Talent Show finally arrived. Despite the fact 4 of the bigger churches in town couldn't come, we still had 300 young people turn up!! An amazing answer to prayer!!! It was a fantastic night, enjoyed by all. Everything went smoothly and it was excellent - and we managed to raise funds for the mission trip - the purpose for the whole thing! I was there for 14 hours making sure everything was ok, and we all had to tidy up afterwards!
When I finally got home at 11.30pm I then had to work on the Directory for church so I could hand everything over to Boris. By 1am it was done!!
So now all my commitments are completed. I spent today sorting my apartment out and tidying up, so tomorrow I can clean it all properly.
I am truly exhausted - but maybe it will mean I will sleep on the plane. I've had 3 different people offering to drive me to the airport....how lovely! In church, the Pastor thanked me for all my hard work on the Directory and prayed for my journey adn time at home - I really am a part of it all here now. I'm kind of sad to leave my friends, but looking forward to seeing everyone in UK. (I am still dreading the cold, it is sooooooo hot here!)

2 v different days!
On Wednesday to celebrate end of school, I went on a day trip to the beach with my fellow teachers. In less than 3 hours I drove to the Caribbean Sea, where upon I spent the entire day in the sea, then got back in my car and we drove home!! It's getting hot here again...I love the fact I can just drive to the Caribbean coast - not looking forward to English weather!
Today, however, I spent 12 hours in the Bible Seminary decorating and getting ready for the Talent Show tomorrow night - the thing I've been planning for months for the churches. Tomorrow will be another long day there and then it will be finally over!! Yay!
