a parting word from down under.
Posted in sydney January 18th, 2009 by piablog

Well this is it guys, French Boy and I are heading back to ‘the mainland’. It’s a strange feeling to be leaving home for home, both being as sweet as each other. But departing from this land does always leave a tiny hole in my heart each time and somehow, it never gets easier.

Before I go though, I wanted to leave you with this little piece you see below. Yes, it’s a new medium for me on the blog because I just discovered that my G10 (you read right, I finally got myself a powershot! It’s so much lighter!) also takes video and I snapped this spontaneous piece a few hours ago just before dusk. This pretty much sums up what Sydney feels like for both a newcomer and an oldtimer. I do hope you enjoy, mes amis

    What a sweet video! I love the reflections in the sunglasses. Oh, sunny summer sounds divine right now! And leaving home is never easy. No matter how old I get, leaving my parents’ home tears a bit of my heart every time, and I am not continents away, so I can only imagine how it tears yours to do the same. I hope you have a safe trip and find happiness when you arrive back at your other charming home! xx

    hello, i wonder what do you think of canon G10? i am thinking of getting one recently but haven’t heard much about review from friends (none of them get one). would really appreciate any comments you have 🙂

    also, very cool and cute way of documenting some special/random moments 🙂

    This is so delicious and delightful! It’s always very hard to leave home, even when you have a lovely houseboat to come back to! So glad you both had a wonderful time.

    thanks guys, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I was hesitant to be so bold as to post it but I got such a kick out of his spontaneous answers to my questions, just too funny and sweet I thought, with his lovely accent.

    It’s been super hard coming home this time – I love the boat but I miss my aussie surroundings quite alot. I even miss the cicadas and dear I say it, waking up to the screeching cockatoos.

    st – I like the G10 alot! I think it’s a great powershot since you can use manual settings or automatic if you are not camera savvy. go for it!!

    Hi Pia,

    I just got back home (in Buenos Aires) from home (in Lisbon) but this time at least I´m helped by the fact that it´s summer here.

    I share your “hard-coming-back” feeling because I feel I belong in both places, I guess.

    I hope you´re feeling better already!
