An end and a beginning

Breaking the silence. I was either too lazy to post or either too lazy to think. Much has transpired between the last post and now. We are on the move again. After three years. And I am sad. This place with it's gloomy weather has grown on me. And now that we are about to leave, I am suddenly interested in going to all the places but it is too cold to think of a trip.
I don't know why but I think I will be coming back. A new country beckons. I am half excited, half scared. Maybe I am too old to be playing this gypsy game now. But moving we are.
There was this farewell at the office today and they gave me a voucher for 90 pounds which I think I am going to use to buy an Android tablet because I cannot afford an iPad now - yes I can but i want to wait. It feels nice to know that you are going to be missed. My lead told me to leave my brain behind over here. Heard he has been panicking because I am going. The best thing is that I was told by two of the Managers that anytime I want to come back, I should just let them know. Which makes me secure in the knowledge that if I don't lime the new place or I feel I cannot get the same kind of work-life balance like I do now, I can always quit and come back. My ex-manager said I was the backbone of the team and that it has been a pleasure working with someone who was always willing to do things with a smile. That is me??? I think it must bs the weather that has brought out the best in me. It feels nice to know that you are regarded so highly.
I have about 10 days here. I hate the thought of packing and sorting things to give away, get rid of.
