Cork: An Irish wedding

December 13th, 2007

The big day for Ben and Aileen has arrived! I’m happy to report that the bride turned-up at the church, albeit nearly half-an-hour late and, aside from getting absolutely drenched by a rainstorm during the beach photo-shoot, all went really well. I gave the “big speech” that I (and a couple of silent co-writers — […]

Cork: Pre-wedding arrangements

December 12th, 2007

SQ & I are running around like idiots this week; we’ve found ourselves in four countries in seven days: Spain, England, Wales and now Ireland. My long-term friend, Ben, is marrying his long-term girlfriend, Aileen. They’ve recently moved from London to Cork, where Aileen originates, to set up a new life for themselves. It’s been […]

Go Karting in Cardiff

December 11th, 2007

Just before jetting off to Ireland for Ben & Aileen’s wedding, Squiffy & I managed to squeeze in a spot of go-karting in Cardiff — thanks to a gift voucher that SQ’s parents had given to us for Christmas last year! (Thanks to SQ’s Mum & Dad.) As we were booked in during a mid-week […]

I hadn’t seen my family for about five months and it was really great to catch-up with them — including my sister (who is in […]

London: Ben’s stag party

December 7th, 2007

One of my closest friends, Ben, is getting married soon and he’s asked me to be his best man. As a nice send-off out of bachelorhood, I took him and fifteen of his mates around London for a weekend of, well, drinking: I had previously asked Ben what he likes–perhaps paint-balling, rafting, go-karting or other […]

Incompetent crew

December 4th, 2007

Squiffy is already a fully-qualified, super-shiny day-skipper; allowing her to sail pretty-much anything, including big yachts. I, on the other hand, am nothing more than Incompetent Crew. To level the playing-field, I thought that it would be a good idea for me to learn the basics of sailing as our round-the-world transit will undoubtedly involve […]
