Poems & Prayers & Promises - September 27th, 2007

09:51 pm - I’m spinning around

Well we knew we were going to have a mad summer – but really!

All of the five weddings we were invited to this year have now successfully happened. Wouldn’t have missed any of them for the world. The last one was actually a reception (the wedding having been a very small affair a week previous) and was just fabulous. The dress code was formal from the era of your choosing – and everyone made such an effort. We turned in to a mutual appreciation society for the first half. The food & venue were fabulous, the entertainment was the guests (and some of them even intended to be). I was only sorry it was so short (still no excuse for staying up til 5am – but hey, gotta try and show the young folk how it’s done). You never get enough time with people at these things do you – especially the bride & groom, but then everyone wants a bit of them at a wedding so par for the course I’m afraid.

The wedding before that (but since my last post) was another mad dash across the country – but it was also brilliant. So different – they did the legal thing in a registry office then had a pagan ceremony and reception that felt all the world like a country fete. They even had morris dancers! Friends are in a troupe. I know morris dancers!!!! As an Englishman in Scotland, you have no idea how happy that makes me! It was a fab do – less people we knew, but that meant we got to spend time with the folk we do – which is always nice.

What else? Events – the big one. Well I started my new sensible character. First half of the event was tricky. Small clan and the other two had loads on this event - I was pre warned so expected it but it still makes for a slow start. So does playing a quieter, more sensible character, but worth it for the revelations – the number of characters I have known for years, but saw an entirely different, unsuspected side of this event. Anyway, any of the fame / notoriety I may have missed was handed out in bucket loads when I did some fun magic on the third day – much assisted by many others, but got my powerful magician thing going on now – so happy. Next event I am monstering with H2B and after the little bits and bobs I have gleaned so far – its going to be soooooooooo good.

Work is going well at the moment, the doctor is being a pain, H2B and my Dad are becoming DIY chums (I keep reminding him he is just looking after his investment), we went on the holiday from hell (in-laws. Enough said), and if I don’t pick a wedding dress soon I think the female half of the wedding party, especially Mum, might just explode.

That’s all I think. Hopefully life is about to get a bit more sensible, so I shall write more. Perhaps not.
