Pre-wedding blues

I thought things might have calmed down post Christmas, but here I am in a smart shirt and trousers, with more smartness hung up behind me, ready to go out and pick up Trevor and Jon. Helen’s getting married.

So where did we leave off last time? Dad had just left. He’s back up north now, but that doesn’t mean we’ve reclaimed the house. Paul’s cousin and his girlfriend arrived last night and took over the spare room. They’re here until tomorrow, I think, when they’ll be dashing back up to Coventry for working on New Year’s Eve.

Getting married the day before New Year’s Eve strikes me as a bit of genius, actually. Pretty much everyone’s still off work, and nobody stays in hotels at this time of year, so it’s easy - in theory - for everyone to find somewhere to stay. The only risk, of course, was the weather, which could have been truly grim. As it happens, though, the skies are as blue as could be for as far as you can see, and the only clouds are tiny whisps way, way, way up high.

It’s not even that cold. The little icon on my Gnome task bar puts it at 11degrees in Stanstead, with the prospect of warmer times ahead. Another two days of this, and it’ll be a perfect start to the new year, and excellent weather for the Mud Race on the 2nd.

Time to sign off. I have to go out and make my collection.
