So I’ve managed to get out of the habit of blogging, and once you do that, it’s hard to get back into again, especially now I’ve left a 4 month gap recording what’s been going on in my life. So here is a very brief summary.
Christmas was pretty much ruined after my parents’ house got burgled 3 days into our 2 weeks stay with them. Thankfully, they didn’t get my brand new, carefully selected, Sumsung NC10 that I had treated myself to not a week earlier, but unfortunately they did get Nigel’s Dell XPS laptop, and my mum’s laptop amongst a number of other valuable items.
The most major thing to happen is that Nigel and I have set a date to get married – 19th September 2009. We basically came up with a joint New Year’s Resolution that 2009 would be the year we would get married, and we’ve actually followed through with it. Those who know us well are aware that we’ve been talking about getting married for years, but attempts at any organisation have been fairly half-hearted; particularly once we started looking into things and realising how much there is to organise and how much all things ‘weddingy’ cost. So to give us a push along we got in touch with a wedding planner, and from then things really started moving. So although sorting out things for the wedding has taken up quite a lot of our spare time since New Year, most of the ‘big things’ are now organised (I won’t bore with the details). I do think hiring a wedding planner was possibly the best thing we could have done to save time, our sanity, as well as, believe it or not, money.
So with weddings occupying much time, I’ve not been reading, nor have I watched much on the TV, and we’ve not really eaten out at all, hence I’ve not had much to say. Nigel is now about to commence ‘Project Garden’, for which I will try and add pictures. On Sunday I shall be starting orchestra rehearsals for West Riding Opera’s annual production in Leeds next month, which is always a lot of hard work. But I shall try and make the effort to squeeze in some blogging.
