Wedding daze

I've just got back from my friend's wedding in Switzerland. It was fantastic, she looked lovely and everything went perfectly for them...except the DJ but even that was no big deal, he just wasn't very good!

I was her "best woman" so the weight of responsibility weighed quite heavy, but the feeling of relief and contentment that it went so well was so worth it. My OH was wonderful, if you read this darling, thank you again, I really really appreciated it.

The funniest thing was that we were mistaken for some clowns!

No, really! There was an event on for performers in the town with stages dotted about everywhere and fantastic street performers, many of whom were English. The night before the wedding we were sat outside a cafe and just as we settled the bill the waitress asked us when we were performing. We looked confused and explained we were there for a wedding, at which point she turned to my OH and said...."I thought you were a clown". I'm not sure what that made the rest of us? Perhaps clowns have groupies in Switzerland :o)

I bought myself a little present just before we left, a new Canon EOS 350D. I am so excited and can't wait to go on a photography binge. A shiny new digital SLR, a fantastic OH and a wonderful wedding, what more can I ask for?

I miss London

Overall things are going well in the new job, but what has really suprised me is how much I miss being in London those few days a week. I think I had actually grown to appreciate it, and lets face it having a little bit more money makes in more accessible!

Just before I left my old job my OH suggested that we should make time to go to London socially so that I could get my fix. I'm going to take him up on that, and perhaps make time to actually do things when I go home to visit my folks and sisters.

In the meanwhile here are some photos I took recently.

A perfect summers day?

Pimms, curry, music and ice cream in the sunshine!

Ben & Jerry's Sundae

What can I say, it was great! I've got some pictures to upload when I have time but all in all it was a fantastic day, warm and sunny, brilliant atmosphere, good food, great music and people I like spending time with.

I have to say, The Holloways rock! Even if Alfie was wearing red skinnies after I had previously announced that you shouldn't ever trust a man in red skinny jeans :o)

New job

Apart from feeling very much like the new girl, things are going well in the new job. The organisation seems to be in a bit of disaray, but nothing that couldn't be expected with the immense level of change going on.

The people seem very friendly and quite nice, although I haven't got the measure of my boss yet. I am quite excitable and open, he seems completely the opposite. I suspect I may struggle with this because communication is central to who I am, and how I operate, on the positive side though he doesn't seem to micro manage, so I guess I'll just be able to go to him for considered, thoughtful advice when that is what I need.

I am missing the comfortableness and comradery of the old place though, I suspect I won't make as many true "friends", i.e. people I actually chose to see outside work, here. And I am not sure if they are ready for my random musings yet, but I guess that is what the blog is for :o)
