I was presented with two very nice suitcases, useful for my trek down to Wodonga.

My own words include these quotes about leaving...
"Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends." Richard Bach
"Be well, do good work, and keep in touch." Garrison Keillor
"All changes are more or less tinged with melancholy, for what we are leaving behind is part of ourselves." Amelia Barr
"If there is anyone here whom I have not insulted, I beg his pardon" [on leaving some friends] Johannes Brahms
I will also be having drinks on the balcony on Friday night
