I am writing this in the library whilst we wait for our change of address letters to print. These will go in the post today and hopefully will not get lost before businesses open up again in the new year.
Wednesday was Susans wedding, and I think a little tear was shed by all when S & Dad came up the gangplank of the SS Great Britain. I am not sure if it was seeing S as a lady (no black, no denim, no trainers and rumour has it even with her phone turned off…) or whether it was seeing Dad enjoying the day. Amazing to think of what he has been through over the 4 months, and with the family there it was great for them to see him too. I have a couple of pics on my phone, just need to work out how to upload them.
Ian and I were working to slightly different time agendas whilst getting ready for S#s wedding. Hence Ian hovering and making that look he makes when he is annoyed. Knowing that I had plenty of time I was happily mooching around, putting his Look down to wind. Only when he exploded as I was happily checking my emails did it become apparent that we were carryng out different plance, hence 30 seconds later, I found myself in the car putting on makeup and leaving behind basically everything I was supposed to take. Luckily we remembered the food, but as everyone was pretty full from the food on the boat, I would have been better off to have remembered the presents! A quick run back later for Ian and we were able to do our Father Christmas bit too, phew.
Mum and Dad looked very smart and were colour co-ordinated with dad wearing red socks and mum having red in her dress. When mum said she was wearing a red and green dress, I was a tad concerned as christmas tree sprang to mind, however it was a rather tasteful ensemble, and she looked a very proud and happy mother of the bride, and any rumour that she was heard to mutter ‘at last all three of my hands’ is strictly unfounded.
Oooops, Ian is hovering so better go – don’t want any repeats of Weds….
PS UPDATE – in case anyone was worried that S had been taken over by lady aliens, I can report that last seen she was in trainers, cords and tiara was strictly out of view.
