Wedding

Internet access is a rarity in Wales, and finding privacy to write on here is even more rare. I've hidden myself away for a few minutes to write a quick post about the past few weeks.

The main event, James and Anna's wedding!

I don't think I can sum it all up in words, it was an amazing day and an equally fun evening. There is photographic evidence of me dancing in a kilt, and apparently even a video somewhere that I have yet to see.

The wedding itself was lovely - Anna looked great , James was looking all pretty in his kilt, and I didn't lose the rings. The only slight hitch was that several people were delayed by bad traffic and trains (you know who you are), but in the end everyone was there.

This was followed by the meal and speeches. My speech went quite well, or at least it was over quickly and people laughed in the appropriate places. Then came the drinking and dancing section of the night. I think the less said about this the better...

Breakfast was a painful affair - I managed to concuss myself during the night, and combined with a hangover I was feeling quite ill. If there is a next time I shall prepare for this with IV fluids, metaclopromide and rehydration salts. I continued to feel bad for the next week in fact! Definately concussion coming in there.

From wedding there was a day of lazing at James's house before heading off to Wales. Some lovely people said goodbye at the station, then I faced the rail network on a Sunday. I eventually arrived home and slept - I was working the next day.

The To-do List

Seeing as my life mostly consists of EMS at the moment various things that needed to be done have been left. Small things like changing a broken lightbulb, or big things like writing a best man speech just haven't been done as there was very little free time.

Now it's my summer holidays! Four whole days off to get through the huge list of tasks. I got quite a few out of the way yesterday, including climbing the bathroom walls to changes lights (I can see in the shower! Not sure if that's a good things though.) and getting a new railcard.

The afore-mentioned best man speech is due to be delivered on Friday and I still haven't written it. That's today's task. It's going to be a long day.
