This is the day all my Jo(e)s leave me!!

Our Miss Pitts departs today for South America followed by North America and Canada. You are an amazing traveller Jo and my inspiration when i was thinking about doing this trip. Have the time of your life love - though i know you will, because, like me, you live the ups and downs in equal measure for they are just as rewarding as each other. Look out for those anacondas babe!

And Joseph, my Melbourne knight in shining armour, departed today for Beijing to be followed closely by County Clare, Ireland. Have a great time Joe and give my love to your family when you get home - they're very lucky to have such a wonderful person in their lives - not mention one who puts them first. You have really looked after me and you'll be much missed here, as you realised this last few days.

And as Fate would have it, i get to take over Joe's room as Mark's new flatmate, which is just marvellous and i am over the moon to be staying.

The Commonwealth Games is having its opening ceremony as i speak but i'm steering well clear of the city - it's utter chaos.
