Weddings, Sunshine & the tedium of work

So i went home a week and a bit ago for my best friend's wedding...and it was great!

Always great seeing family and catching up with friends! Couldn't have come at a more opportune time too. The apparent spring - or lack there of - was starting to get to me.

My BFF looked stunning...as bride's tend to...and the bridesmaids were gorgeous too! Not your usual nobody liking the bridesmaid's dresses at all...

Of course I was one:p

One scandalous thing - uhm we were late...not the bride! No real fault of our own though, in my case the silly hairdresser only started my hair 30min after scheduled time! Got back to start getting dressed 15min before wedding was due to start! Crazy I tell you...the rest of the day was without incident...until the reception...well, was without incident but the bridesmaid & groomsmen table was a bit of a scandal....5 bottles of champagne....for all too see...hehe

Found out later that the mother-in-law commented and said someone is going home with someone at that table...LOL! (which btw wasn't the case...and anyway, the one groomsmen had his fiance sitting at the table...so maybe someone did go home with somebody else after all:p)

The weather was superb! Sunshine and blue skies...a typical SA summer day - despite it apparently being autumn!

Global warming I tell ya!

The entire time back home the weather was great...worked on trying to get some colour to my oh-so-deprived lack of it-successfully! The mini-break away from work was awesome...any time away from work is always good ain't it?

Got back to the UK just before the bank holiday...weekend in London...to more great weather! WHOOP WHOOP! Caught up with some friends, again - always good!

Didn't really wanna come back here to Derby....but I did. Back at work for 2 days now and I wish I wasn't... not that it's overly busy or anything...I've just become a bit bored! (I'm beginning to wonder about my rapid tendency towards boredom at work but in anycase) Plus great weather! Wasting it by being stuck indoors at work! At least the sun only sets around 9 now so can still make something of the rest of the day....today I decided this is officially beach weather - not too hot, not too cold, at times a light breeze - perfect...no beach here though!

The rest of Europe beckons - LOUDLY! I really need to sort myself out soon...but the whole need money - what do you need to do to get money - work! So, it's a means to an end! And not too long before this contract is over. No idea what next...maybe another mini-break...I'm on a work TRAVEL visa after all!


Here's to continual sunshine!


yeah yeah...you can see me loves the sun:p
