apart from anything else last week i have to thank the stars that i missed friday at work which by all accounts was a disaster. the rest of the team sorted out the problems but i was lucky to be away! friday night itself was really good fun, the speeches went extremely well and then i …

over
the wedding has been and gone. i have out a few pictures up (on instructions from si and fi!). they left at 03:30 this morning to get to stansted in time for a cheapo flight to italy. the whole long weekend has been as close to perfect as we could have hoped. thursday was just …
close
we had the wedding rehearsal last night. all a bit chaotic with everyone trying to work out what they have to do during the service on friday. it looks like the ushers are going to be pretty busy – mainly moving chairs on the altar (if last night is anything to go by) and directing …
cold
autumn is definitely arriving. i had to turn my heating on last night for the first time since the winter. it’s also back to the point where it is dark when i get home in the evening. soon we’ll be into the winter slog where daylight is just that thing you see out of the …

i am off to amsterdam as feared. but at least i don’t have to do an early morning. i am getting the plane tomorrow night and then flying back on thursday night. it will not be a good day given all the nastiness which has been happening over the last few days. while waiting for …
lucky
hopefully it will be third time lucky with the sale of my flat. i accepted another offer last night which is for cash so it seems less likely to fall through. it has been a strange experience so far, there are no shortage of interested people and, indeed, buyers but getting to the point where …
booo
it looks like i might have to go to amsterdam for the day on wednesday which is not good. i have done this a few times before and generally it means getting up at 04:00 and not getting to bed until midnight. plus the task that i have to do is quite tricky yet supremely …
