So this is it: my last day at UKSA. Which means it has been five months almost to the day since I first arrived, waaaaaaaaaaay back in February. And it has gone so fast. The time before Egypt seemed to go on and on, back when it was the marathon six weeks without a day off. Then Egypt happened, and that went quickly in itself. But since coming back everything has just flashed by and I don't really know where it's all gone. I may try and have a look see if I can find it today, otherwise I'll just have to accept that it really has been nine weeks since I came back from that hot, sunny place.
Having said that, the weather this week has been rather amazing (for England) beautiful mornings have sadly been more often than not covered by cloud midway through the day, but then the cloud disappears towards the evening. And nothing is here to suggest that it will be otherwise today. Should be good.
I know in the last post I said I'd answer some questions, but I don't particularly have any answers as yet, so I won't.
I'm looking forward to being back for a couple of weeks, it will be good. But it has been an amazing five months. Rather splendid. I'm extremely glad that I went ahead and did the course, its been awesome.
Last night I went down to the south of the island with some friends from the Christian side of things and we had a BBQ on the beach as the sun set, from about 7 to 10 we were just sitting on the beach, eating, laughing, chatting, playing football, messing about in the water and generally having an excellent time. It was well good and I couldn't think of a better way of spending my last full day on the island (whilst still on the course).
I should add here that in a couple of weeks I shall be back on the island, this time to work. I won't be working at UKSA, but I'll be working at a centre just up the river from UKSA, so I'll still be able to pop down and see all my friends from time to time. So in a sense this isn't goodbye, but it is the end of a season. And even though I've enjoyed it immensely, it will be good for it to end as it will mean that I'm ready to go and work. WOOP WOOP.
Got to go and have breakfast now otherwise I spend half an hour stuck behind a long queue of kids. So I'll be seeing loads of people again soon, until then... (I have no idea what to put here, so I'll leave it hanging)
