Julia is off.
As she runs around with last minute packing, Memsahib and I are distracted discussing the X-Factor cover of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah and whether we prefer the Jeff Buckley or Rufus Wainwright version. Julia comes into the room and tells us she loves the song but has never heard the versions we’re describing. After a few seconds of enthusiastic and roughly on-key rendition of Handels’ Messiah from her, we realise the confusion.
As we carry her bags down to the car and she turns to say farewell, it seems appropriate to say “Time to leave I guess” and then follow it up with Memsahib and I belting our the words “Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halleluuuuuuuuuujah”.
You just can’t beat a good goodbye.
