"Look into my eyes, not around my eyes, look into my eyes"

This one's done the rounds before but it's still blo*dy clever...!
Don't ask me how it works, - it just does. I never spend time trying to work out how it's done cos it'll then be of no interest. Enjoy ;o)

Wedding Photos galore!

Following the wedding we now have literally hundreds of photo's! There are the ones we obtained from the various guest camera's on the day, plus ones that people have provided since then. And now of course, more importantly, we have received the official photo's from the day.
It is my intention to get as many of these on line as possible, - but as you can imagine it's taking some organising.
I have decided to make use of the 'Microsoft Spaces' website to host the photo's and will upload them over the next few days. Click the link below to check the progress so far;
I will also upload the honeymoon photos from Cuba. As usual with me, - there are loooads of them too!

"Ola" from Cuba

My first blog entry from 'abroad' :o)

Never got the chance to post after the wedding and before we set off on the honeymoon, - that week was more than a bit hectic!!
In short the wedding day was AMAZING, - it really couldn't have gone any better. Everything went to plan, the weather was spot on and a good time seemed to be had by all. I'll mention more about that when I've got photo's to include. In the meantime Here's a link to some pics Jen put online before we away.

Onto the honeymoon;
We're into our 2nd week now and having a cracking time. Hotel's spot on, one of the best in the country apparately!, -it's absolutely huuuuge! There are little golf buggies dotted around to ferry you round the complex as it takes about 15 mins to walk from one side to the other.Everyone's really friendly here and they can't do enough for you.Weather's been "off the hook" hot so far, and we've been making the most of it.
We've got the reminants of Tropical Storm 'Rita' today though, - hence the reason I'm sitting typing this!! The storm's heading towards the states before it becomes a hurricane so we should only get rain for a day (fingers crossed!). We're meant to be on a Catamaran trip today but they've re-scheduled it for tomorrow cos of the storm, - typical on the one day we've had to drag ourselves out of bed early!!
Food's not bad, - although as with every holiday I could murder a 'Big Mac' by the 2nd week!! There are five restaurants (italian, asian, seafood, vegetarian, and an iternational), plus the normal buffet one, and we've tried them all.Most important of all though, - the free beer is spot on. Tastes similar to Stella and seems to be about as strong! Jen's been through the whole cocktail menu now I think!
We've done the obligotary 'swimming with dolphins' trip which was class, so we're doing it again on Wednesday!Also done the 'speed boat through the jungle' trip. Each couple is basically given a boat and told to follow the leader, - it was a really good laugh.
Not many Geordies here (mainly 'cos you can't fly from Newcastle), but there's flippin' loads of Scousers! So far they haven't pinched owt though and you kind of get used to the shell suits!

Well I'm bored now and some of the keys on this keyboard are ropey so it's doing my head in!

CAN wait to come home.

The last blog entry of a condemned man

Yup, the day is nearly upon us for me getting hitched. All the preparation is now done, and I've just finished writing my speech. At last I can start to relax and look forward to Saturday.
I have to say my attempts at blogging over the past few weeks have been few and far between.
It's just been a mad few weeks, both at work and then at home with planning the wedding.
I finished work today until the 27th of September!! Definitely the most time off I've had from work. I've no idea when my next blog entry will be, but I'll certainly try and do one before the honeymoon next week.
There is internet access available at our hotel in Cuba, so no doubt when I'm online checking the Newcastle scores and reading reports about Owen's many goals, - I'll also try and post from there.
Thanks for reading over the past few months, and I'll hopefully see some of you on the day.
