All good things come to an end…

I can’t believe I only have one more day left at Cotlands!!! Seriously, where did September go? Last time I checked it was still August!

Anyhoo, I’ve had lots of nice experiences in my last month. One of our volunteers plays the violin with the Johannesburg Youth Orchestra so we went to one of their concerts, which was awesome. Then we had Cotlands’ AGM where Loyiso, one of Cotlands’ ambassadors, spoke. Last night I also had the brilliant idea that, since Cotlands’ ‘theme’ is Heroes, then Loyiso should do a cover on Mariah Carey’s song ‘Hero’ Yeah! I know I know, my brain’s brilliant when I go to bed. Wish it was brilliant the rest of the day as well…

We also went to Gino’s for a welcome (we have a group of new volunteers) / goodbye (I wanted to go there one last time since I’m leaving soon) dinner. Me. Loves. Gino’s. Pizzas! If only I had remembered to have the Tiramisu Although I was very full so I probably wouldn’t have been able to manage anyway. But I could’ve gotten take away…

Last, but definitely not least, we had some birthday/farewell celebrations today Our HR Director had made a lovely apple cake (I can’t remember the proper name of it) and a lovely chocolate cake. And there was delicious fruit salad. I felt very very spoiled. I had so much cake and fruit salad I forgot about lunch and when I finally realised I should eat some food there was none. Luckily a lady in the kitchen managed to spare me two slices of bread so I had a peanut butter sandwich for lunch. And yesterday I had a burger for lunch. And the day before I had chips for lunch. I seriously need to start cooking food again…

I am going to miss Cotlands and all the people here I feel so comfortable here it’s almost scary to go back home again. It’s been a very good year and I have been very blessed. I will always keep Cotlands in my heart.
