Goodbye-ee-eye

One of our last peppermint teas in Ulm at a cafe where all the furniture is for sale - even that orange lamp

A fellow Australian I befriended here in Ulm (actually, she befriended me) has gone home. That's right. Gone back to Oz. Packed up and taken off forever. I think. There's just no telling with Anne-Marie. But, it does seem rather permanent at the moment. She just left yesterday. Don't know what I'll do with myself now. Although it is a great decision for her it is sad for me and all the other people she got to know. And yes, I know it's not all about me but I'll miss her is all. Just today, I found myself in a situation and I couldn't call my 'phone a friend'. Nope.
I thought I would write lots about Anne-Marie but words just seem too wordy for her. Here are some pictures of the last couple of times we hung out and a clip of her 'leaving song' that was playing (and still is) in my head in the weeks up to her farewell. Goodbye-ee-eye.

Of course, she brings me flowers when she is the one leaving

A first on her last day, we ate cake at a cafe she had been boycotting because of it's name Mohren Kopf
(I will overlook any number of things for good cake)

    I love that clip, it takes me back to corporate life :) I can't believe AM is back in Oz. How weird, she somehow managed to 'be' Ulm. Maybe it was just the bike. Miss you Mals.
