Okay, okay, since I've sent a billion emails in the past few days I might as well post a journal. Kelly's still in the States working her butt off, but I managed to escape a few weeks ago. After a great going away party and an insane hangover/intense 24hrs of packing I made it on a plane to Paris. My sister was getting married to a French boy, Benoit, in Versailles. The week up to the wedding was just insane, a million random jobs and my very crappy french proved to be quite stressful. But I have to admit that it was an amazing time, the people and the wedding were great. The French/English thing posed a small problem, but nothing that alcohol didn't fix. Now the fact that the French Air Controllers decided to strike the day before the wedding, that caused some extra headaches, it all worked out.
So there I am, all kilted up with my brothers for an amazing wedding. Lots of kilts, bagpipers and, of course, whisky! Great times. The reception was great too. My family all had to give a speech and so as a way of bridging the language barrier, I brought my laptop with home videos of Felicity when she was young and lots of embarassing pictures. I pieced these together into a speech, titled: "The Top Ten Reasons Why You Shouldn't Have Married My Sister". I thought it went great, granted, my sister glared at me the whole time, but if you ignore that bit :)
Anyway, back in London now. Trying to find cheap flights to see the Bjork concert in Iceland. if not I'll probably go skiing in Scotland before Christmas. Looking forward to wee Kelly getting here, I think I'm in withdrawl, you get so used to seeing someone every day! The plans for New Years (with Kelly in Scotland) are falling into place. There's a massive celebration in central Glasgow (New Years is Scotlands favorite holiday, where do you think Auld Lang Sang was written??). So we'll probably be out in the cold weather watching some massive bands play with lots of Scots. Will be a great time, why aren't you here??? :)
