A Wonderful Wedding

I can’t imagine this’ll be the longest of rambles. I’m exhausted. But I had such a good weekend that I don’t really mind.

On Friday night some of Michaela’s friends came over and we all headed out to Soho for a few drinks and a bit of a dance – a warm up for ‘World Pride’ that was held in Trafalgar Square the next day. I’m told it was a good do, but not for me. No, I was uncharacteristically restrained and caught the last tube home on Friday so I could be up, packed and on the way to Euston to catch the 9.20am train(s) to Hale.

I was on the way to a wedding! Nat, a friend from Uni, was getting married. I met up with the group of guest I knew at the church – we were all surprisingly well behaved (in the church at least). It was a lovely big church, in Bowden, Cheshire and the sunshine even came out so that the confetti pictures looked pretty. The reception was held in the Mere Golf Resort & Spa, preeeety nice! As we arrived from the church we were greeted with a Pimm’s and asked to head outside for some group photos. We returned inside to the beautifully decorated room to enjoy the meal, speeches, cake cutting, and finally the dancing. Ooooh the dancing! There was so much of it – and I bloody loved it. In fact I loved the whole day. We all scrubbed up real nice and the happy couple looked wonderful.

The next morning I felt a little – delicate. And a four hour journey back to London was the last thing I needed, but on I soldiered listening to the Wimbledon final on BBC 5 Live – tennis commentary is incredibly fast and really quite funny but I managed to get home in time to see the final three (disappointing) sets. Better luck next year Murray.

Some good news on Wednesday – I collected the last set of my Olympic tickets! With all the tickets in hand, the free travel cards and the spectator guides, I have started putting together a plan of what Naomi, mum and I will be getting up to while they’re down for a visit in August.

I’ve also found out I’ll being doing even more shifts than I expected – some of them at the London Media Centre. I’ll be advising journos about the quickest way to get to certain venues and events – looking forward to fucking over a few Daily Mailers…

In other news, I’ve started looking into how I can turn these posts into a book. And I guess this sentence will be very weird to read once printed in said book… I’ve downloaded the software and started the editing – If I’m honest, some of these posts are awful! So it’s a pretty big job and I’m getting a head start.

That’s it for now. I told you it was a short one!

Over the next week I’ll be working. And working. And probably a bit more working. Good job I enjoy it!!

Until next time,

Ps, If you’re struggling for any decent TV program at the moment I can’t recommend Line of Duty highly enough – BBC 1 iPlayer. Treat yourself.
