eejits 8 September 2008
Sorry, there was a break in transmission for a day there – I am having some class of trouble with the interweb superhighway thing. It’s probably pretty basic connection problem but too much for me to fathom. Anyhow, back now for however long so I’ll lash along quickly while technology is smiling upon me.
Richard and me are officially total eejits. We were knocking about yesterday like it was an ornery Sunday until we got a text from a pal wishing us a happy anniversary – WE HAD TOTALLY FORGOTTEN. We are 11 years married – that too, took some figuring out. Hopeless, we are. Still, we fetched up to a doo way out southside later in the afternoon and promptly declared it fairly much ours – nice of our friends to throw it in our honour, sort of thing.
We had a huge and chaotic wedding at which there were 500 guests but the truth is if we were marrying again now there would probably as many and more at it. My father made the shortest speech in wedding history – he was terrified of speaking, I think, and was well into double figures on the pints by the time his turn came. He stood up and said ‘now, yeer all very welcome…now, hah?’ and that was it. Simple and elegant, really, and it covered all that needed to be said.
By the way, the irony of me having a cold, while full of every tropical disease you can buy, is not lost on me…
