This is what happens when an Ozzie Leaves... sadness

Sadly, Cassie had to leave us... I was amazed after just 10 short days how many people were clearly very sad that she was moving on! And... still it's a bit disturbing how much they all talk about her (I'm starting to wonder if they wish I had gone on that trip! JUST KIDDING)... Anyway. We took a night out to celebrate Mollie's Birthday whilst commiserating Cassie's exit from San Diego with new and old friends alike!

Me and my new friend Tin Tin (I mean Christian)... seriously I did think that I had met Tin Tin in the human flesh when I first met Christian... he is gracious enough to let me continue calling him that and all the Ozzies and New Zealanders (and I suppose the English if I knew any here) can appreciate how endearing that really is!

Tin Tin and Cassie...
Tom, Shazad and Kathy
Cassie's absolutley favourite couple in America... Shazhad and Shahrzad ("Shaz and Shaz") she even tried to get herself married into the family! I'm with you Cassie I love these guys too!

Anyway, all in all we are hoping to have a "Cassie CAME BACK" party in November if all goes well and she changes her plans! Yay for San Diego...
