Weddings, holidays and Scottish dancing...

It’s been a lovely weekend and it’s not over yet! We have been uber organised, the sort of organised that makes you briefly flirt with the idea of trying to take over the world...

We managed to take our old computer monitor to be recycled yesterday. It had been in the hallway so long we had begun to think of it as an unusual piece of furniture. And then we stocked up on Hoover bags (no really, we’ve needed some for weeks!) Then we popped into Provinda (the organic bakery in Forest Hill) for large cups of coffee and a bite to eat. I picked up a carrot cake as well which is so good it’s now almost all gone. After which we tackled wedding stuff with a full belly and a pleasant caffeine buzz.

We are going to Cornwall for three weeks when we get wed. So we booked a small hotel for 7 days before the wedding, then we’re at the wedding hotel for 3 days and then we’re off to another part of Cornwall for a honeymoon! So we booked the pre and post wedding holiday, plus the dog’s accommodation for the actual wedding (he will be with us before and after, but isn’t able to stay with us in the wedding hotel). I also booked a massage for next week, and confirmed my new singing lesson. We paid bills, watched the rugby, walked the dog, did laundry and then headed out to go Scottish dancing!! Well, I sat and watched... it was a friend’s birthday and he wanted to do something different so he organised an evening with the Gay Gordon’s. A gay Scottish dancing group (now there’s a niche market!) It was a fantastic evening, really friendly and fun.

Today my partner’s brother is coming over for lunch so I’m doing a big organic beef roast – and no doubt several bottles of red wine will help the afternoon go with a swing.

This evening I plan to do nothing except watch Lark Rise (the last one in the series, but fear not I have inside information – there will be at least one more series, possibly more!)

And then Monday will appear with unseemly haste, but with a massage, a job interview, a singing lesson and a bank holiday to look forward to, I think I’m going to have a good week!
