jakey leaves on wednesday - but had a little schbang yesterday to send him off. was meant to be at bronte - but the dodgy morning weather forced him to make a call, and so we all ended up going to his place in beecroft. it was a really fun day. trusty old australia day BBQ, good mates, lots of laughter, the cricket etc etc. was heaps good talking lots with phil, todd, lachie, shell, chuck, and snow. and good to see so many people happy to be sending off Jake :) hehe. it'll be a huge year for him and gen though - africa and all around the place. big experiences! it's funny all these people taking off to different parts of the world. i don't have much of a desire to travel. i mean i don't mind it. but i guess i've done my bit maybe already. it's nice to see places, and take photos and all that. but if i didn't leave Australia again, it wouldn't bother me i don't think.
fun then too was going to longreef beach after jake's place - more of a tighter crowd at that - although various people disappeared to go spearfishing, or kite surfing, or running. it was fun saying my 'last' goodbye to jake - and him typically picking me up, and threatening to throw me in the water. i'll miss him! i don't think tim will ;)
