Today is my last Sunday in New Zealand - next time I write, I will be in the Faroe Islands. I apologise in advance, though, to the [non-existent] readership of this blog, because I shall be at least a day late. I arrive in the Faroes on Monday the 6th of August. 4 days travel, from New Zealand.
I am here, at home, not at work (obviously) recovering from the best party I've ever thrown. It was my leaving party and it makes me want to cry to know that I'm going to leave all of these people for an entire year.
The party was fantastic, big, raucous, full of dancing, and everyone was just wonderful. I'm going to miss this so much, these crazy parties that I throw on a few days notice and that somehow everyone manages to make it to, just because it's one of Kelsy's parties that are always o so great. And the mornings after, where we look at the photos and laugh ourselves silly at our own antics and revel in the friendship that we all have that is so perfect. And how everyone pitches in with food (last night, we made two batches of muffins!) and helps with the clean-up and leave one by one, stopping over and over to hug me and thank me and tell me they'll miss me.
I'm going to miss you guys so much.
Please don't forget me, and please read this, please keep in touch.
I love you all.
Thank you so much for everything. You've been amazing and I hope nothing changes when I get back. You are all fantastic.

Please stay in touch.
Love, Kelsy.
