Weddings, Football & Houses

Not having an internet connection sucks...so I'll bundle a few topics together

Went to Ali and Daves wedding at Linlithgow Palace on Friday last week. Had a really great time, and Ali looked very nice in her dress (I'll post a pic or two if I get permission off her) Dave looked good in his dress too...I think they call them Kilts :-) Ali's uncle played the bag pipes too - what a weird instrument that is. Spent most of the evening chatting with Helen B and her chap Ian (I know Helen wanted a mention on here - she e mailed me after the 'blogging groupies' post!) Helen had a room in the hotel next to a connecting door that kept her awake most of the night - I wonder if she has written her letter of complaint yet?!

Went over to my brothers on the Saturday. Helped him fit his pond filter at his new house and move some wood into his garden. Eddy and Dorit where there too and we caught a few mins of the England match. Is it just me who finds football boring? All the hype, and then an own goal! I ended up giving Eddy odds of 100-1 against England winning, and he only bet a quid! I suppose it would be good if England did win (apart from owing Eddy £101) but its the same every four years. 'England have the strongest team since 1966' 'This is their best chance of winning since 1966' I reckon they will probably get as far as the semi's this time.

The house move seems to be progressing well. I need to find out what happens when Im back in the US, and if I can assign a power of attorney to sign things on my behalf, or if they can fax stuff to me. It will be nice to get in and have a 20-30 minute drive as opposed to 1 and a half hour - 2 hours commute that I have at the moment :-(

Well gotta go, see y'all later
