I have been so lazy with my postings of late that I have a huge backload of pics and posts to upload. Sept was great tho. The Big day went well and then our minimoon to relaxation and back for the Big Race. It was fun. Think they each deserve a post of their own and I will do them justice with one each, in due time.

Since the BIG day, life has been rather slouth like for me and the dar. This is no good. I think we have both been buzzed out from the excitement and activity of everything, such that we are like really tired and limboed out. Time on the other hand still continues to fly by, such that we are blown away that we are into December and that the year 2009 as we know it, is coming to and end.

Annoyingly, my travel plans have been derailed by the Japanese who have to close for the new year so I am effectively stuck on this island. I am not pleased. Was really look forward to going somewhere, to stretch my legs and have a good walkabout. Have been feeling rather restless and listless of late. Not my usual OCD self at all. Shopping has lost it's lusture for me. Believe it or not, a weekend of shopping failed to score a single pair of shoes nor anything else for myself. Although I must say my Xmas shopping is well on track. Ok, not completely off my OCD self.

This weekend will be filled with work related outings. Well, at least we'll be doing something. Hopefully we can squeeze in a leisurely bike ride, hope the weather holds.

A month flies by so effortlessly when you are having fun with the one you love.

It has been a month since we tied the knot with our closest and dearest friends and family by our side.

And still I couldn't be happier. To our first month and forever, love you lots hubs.

Happy 1st month anni! xoxo.

“I'll Be There For You” by Louise Cuddon:


I'll be there, my darling, through thick and through thin

When your mind's in a mess and your head's in a spin

When your plane's been delayed, and you've missed the last train.

When life is just threatening to drive you insane

When your thrilling whodunit has lost its last page

When somebody tells you, you're looking your age

When your coffee's too cool, and your wine is too warm

When the forecast said, “Fine,” but you're out in a storm

When your quick break hotel, turns into a slum

And your holiday photos show only your thumb

When you park for five minutes in a resident's bay

And return to discover you've been towed away

When the jeans that you bought in hope or in haste

Just stick on your hips and don't reach round your waist

When the food you most like brings you out in red rashes

When as soon as you boot up the bloody thing crashes

So my darling, my sweetheart, my dear...When you break a rule, when you act the fool

When you've got the flu, when you're in a stew

When you're last in the queue, don't feel blue'cause I'm telling you, I'll be there.

The thing that I Love And Hate

High Tea at the Ritz

It was a nice and relaxing day and an early anni celebration.

How surprised was I when the office mailroom calld my line to say that there were flowers for me and for me to go collect them. We have a centralized mail room so whatever packages are sent there for collection. My reply to the voice on the other end of the line when he informed me of this was one of utter disbelief, to are u sure? Anyho, I was sure that there had been some mistake but ventured over nonetheless as I was also curious who the flowers were for.

Lo and behold, the Dar decided to send me a flower in a basket with lollies to boot! Woot! Being the sweet and wonderful ahem colleague I am, I gladly shared them with my colleagues. They were rather sweet, swooning over my basket, altho I was kinda embarrassed, but in a good way. heh.

It's in the little things

We went for a walk and talked and talked, and even though it was just something as simple as a short stroll together, I felt so blissful. We walked past the plot and talked of castles and dreams and the sky was a glorious pink. We spoke of car rims and and pet peeves.

And I'm reminded that it is the simple things in life that are most important.
