Diary · Farewell, and a New Chapter

Sydney 25th January 2009

· Sydney

My feelings of loss are still as deep as ever but the pain of dealing with it is easing a little. I am hesitantly making plans for the future and with an end to Northern Australia's tropical Summer approaching I am looking forward to once again living aboard. It won't ever be the same but it will be familiar territory. All the advice I've received however is not to make any major lifestyle changes for at least 2 years. My beautiful house near the water in Sydney may not be "home" as is illywhacker but it is central to my support group of family and friends so I'm reluctant to let it go while I live aboard this time around. I think what I would like most is for a like-soul to move in on a walk-in, as-is basis, use all my stuff, pay the bargain rent and to enjoy living here as I do now for 6 to 12 months. If the idea of a move to Sydney, Australia appeals to you, please email me.
