OK, so that works, and Bruce is gonna kick my ass if he sees my feed dry up for a few days/weeks. [Page count = 6143]
I just returned from a dash to the UK, cos Sarah & Jim got married. Had to be there, how could I not? It was nice to see Andy again, have a few beers and pat Jim on the back before he toddled off down the aisle. Sarah looked great (bride - duh!) and a selection of photos are available at http://www.flickr.com/photos/gfreeman/sets/72157594214282520/
Some shots of the family, of the cake, of the couple as they got to the hotel for the reception, and of Claire - with whom I had the honour of dancing. (Small secret - Jim & Sarah wanted as many people on the dance floor as possible to hide the fact that dancing was not a skill they wanted to show off). I was lucky, Claire was almost as up for it as I was. No worries.
Being back in the UK was less a problem than it could have been. After 2 seconds it was as though I'd never been away. The only drawback was the hot hot heat, records were broken apparently, and the fact that air-conditioning is still a luxury in the UK. Getting back home to Canada was a relief, as far as that was concerned.
I brought back a selection of British TV DVDs, and some general UK groceries that are hard to get in Ontario. Jet lag is still nagging, but after work tomorrow I'll have the weekend to sleep it off.
I'll finish my beer now, and turn in ...
