Tick Tock

Tick tock the clock is ticking. Only 6 days left in Sri Lanka for this little development worker.

It's been a rollercoaster ride full of thrills, spills, fine friends made, cultural misunderstandings and learnings, interesting work, boring work, confusion, sadness, sickness - you name it, but I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Feeling so much better after my brush with Dengue - you know that feeling you have after being seriously ill? For a short period of time you look at the world with fresh eyes and thank whomever for the simple things like having the energy to walk up a flight of stairs! Smelling the flowers, feeling the breeze on your skin, revelling in your capacity to go outside and get wet in the monsoon rain. All good.

So the last few days are hectic. Trying to catch up with friends that I haven't seen for the last 3 weeks due to being unwell; finishing off at work; winding up my animal rescues and hopefully providing them with ongoing safety and security before getting on the big bird next Friday morning for London and back to school!

Exciting times. End of one chapter. Start of another.
