So we come to the end of yet another weekend and Monday brings with it all the promise, annoyance and structure of another week.
As I'm sure you are all aware, my time these days is taken up with alot of wedding preparations and this weekend was no different! We rounded up the bridal party (minus Jane) and headed into town to get the boys suited up for the big day! Not sure if the girl who helped us was on drugs or not, but after she measured up the boys and gave them the supposed right fitting suits, they came out and we had to rummage through the racks to find pieces that actually fit them! After we had sorted the sizes, we lined them up and gosh darn it...they were so dashing! They're in simple three piece suits with ties that match the girls dresses. Very smart!
This weekend we also sourced out a new night spot in Paddington (or Paddo for the groovy set) The Fringe Bar...dimly lit, great crystal chandeliers, hip crowd and old uni mates! Yes, we bumped in to Dominic and Cathy who have now returned to live in Sydney after 2.5 years in London (thanks for updating us John!)They are getting married in November in Coffs Harbour and are currently looking for a house to buy in Meadowbank or Hornsby areas. Hopefully they will take up our invite and come visit us at the pub one Thursday night!
Again, the weekend had loads of sport filling up our days (and nights). We staggered home on Saturday night to join Mattes in watching Germany V Sweden....all I can say is Sorry Jen, maybe in 2010? and last night England brought home a 1-0 victory to put them in the semis. All fingers crossed for tonight with the Aussies taking on Italy!
Till next Monday (or until something random happens that I want to share with you all).....
ps I just performed a spell check, and when it came across Paddington....it gave the reasonable and logical option of switching it to puddingstone. WTF????

Sounds logical to me. In MY opinion, we should ALL switch it to Puddingstone.
Saturday was very sad, but at least I have several other teams to cheer for, starting this afternoon. Go aussie! Although, here they are playing at 5pm, which is a bit shit, because I'll have a hard time leaving work early...
But it was good to have some sms conversations with several of you! Thanks for all the support!
I myself would much prefer the 5pm playing time to the 1:00am kickoff that we have to contend with here.... it would be MUCH more convenient.
Hmm, yes, I guess I can't complain too much. Although some would argue that 5 is a bit early to start with beers on a monday afternoon, but that would be, frankly, UNAUSTRALIAN!
here here!! Unaustralian indeed!
Poor Aussies! At least we did better than we ever thought possible. Perhaps this will inspire our boys even more next WC!
