Howaye from Ireland!

Hello!!!

Aww my darling, I am so proud of you! Seriously, you have lots to be proud of because yes you did achieve a hell of a lot this summer. Apparently I've said Sweet Jesus far too many times to day which is weird because it's not like I picked it up from you because I didn't really say it a lot before you left. So that has kinda freaked a few people out.

Truth be told, you leaving didn't hit Erin until later this afternoon, I don't think she's had a lot of time to think about it. I told her she had to sit down and have a cry because it'll make her feel better. I know this from experience. It was so weird, I went up to my room after working an hour over and sat in my room and just bawled my eyes out. It was crazy. Its crazy to think how much of a difference not having someone here makes. Erin and I were sitting there this arvo in break and talked about you leaving. Not that I want to depress you more or anything...And I am sorry I couldn't stick around for your phone call. Erin came in and I was like 'she's gone?' and she said yeah and I kinda was a bit disapointed.

Janet is pretty sick at the moment, she didn't come down for flag this morning and has been laid up in bed for half of the day. So Monique and I did a run down the road at lunch and brought her flowers. She didn't find them till this evening and I sware to god it sounded like she was on the verge of tears. I am worried about her, but you know me I worry about everyone. I know I know I need to look after me!! I know!

The first week or so back home will be the hardest because you'll need to adjust back to normal life.

I'll keep this short because I am sitting here on Erin S's laptop and I am having a few issues typing, it's just not the same as a normal keyboard.

Take care my dear and I am off to pester our Erin, I tell you that girl worries me sometimes. I think it'll be another late one.

Take super super care and you 'll hear from me soon.

Luv Rachael
