Pics from Sue & Lauries Wedding

& the Beach BBQ the following day..

... that is part of a reaaaaally annoying song by P Diddy or someone equally irritating. I'm also annoyed with Kanye West at the moment for slaughtering that Daft Punk song 'Do it faster make it stronger etc' with his irritating singy songy over the top bit. Boo to him.

I have had a great great great long weekend, which sadly is over, and now I am dealing with DIFFICULT clients with demands today. Work does suck sometimes really.

One of my old schoolfriends got herself hitched at the weekend which was great, a really beautiful wedding and epic reception on the clifftops of sunny Guernsey. The following day there was a chilled out beach BBQ as well, all in all it was pretty perfect. I am going to post some pictures to show you. They are all from facebook so if you are on facebook you have probably seen them already. Yesterday we took Jeannie out to Fermain and saw Chris & Sonia on thier boat as well, it was choppy, about force 4 so a bit splashy. Pics to follow...

Things that are Entertaining Me in my Life Today

I wanted to compile a list, because I'm in that sort of mood. Humour me.

1. The Terry Goodkind 'Sword of Truth' series. I'm currently on book 7 out of 11, and I love them for their great, rip roaring, not afraid to be a litttle bit cheesy heroic/high fantasy plots and characters. Also the political/philosophical undertones are pretty interesting.
2. 'Veronika Decides to Die' by Paulo Coelho. Lovely stuff, (to quote Alan Partridge). I'm nearly finished, it's not a long book.
3. Office Space, a film I watched the other night, and ended up watching 3 times because I wanted both Rachel & Nick to see it too. Great film!!
4. Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics. I just recently got into them and wow. They are great.
5. My new green shoes. Ahhhhh they are pretty, and also so shiny and green.
6. Online scrabble, cos I am a saddo and its so very quiet at work right now.
7. Paella. With haddock. I am making it a lot.

That is all I can think of. I have a poo story to tell you. I was eating my breakfast this morning (wheetos if you are interested) and Molly jumped up onto my lap so a bit of attention/body heat while I was sat at the table. I was wearing my black skirt and when I stood up and she jumped off there were all these brown swidgy marks on my skirt. She has a pooey bottom! As I was running late for work I quickly whipped off my skirt, bunged it into the wash, washed my hands thoroughly (yes I touched it) and put on some trousers. So I have survived cat shit already today. What else will the day bring, I wonder?

BOOoooooooooooRED

BORED BORED BORED.

I don't handle it well.

I feel very profound

I found out the official names of my two new nephews last night, when on the phone to my sister. So welcome to the world . . .

Rowan David Gill

and...

Ralph Samuel Gill

That's right!!!!!!

Lord help his little cottons because the wee blighter has been named after me! His rather naughty and bound-to-be-a-bad-influence auntie!! I am absolutely made up, and filled with such a warm, snuggly feeling of happiness all over. It's one of those feelings that money just can't buy really. I couldn't be happier/prouder/slightly scared for the poor chap. I hope when he gets older his friends don't rib him for being named after a girl.

Hmmm

August isn't going too well so far. Only one blog, this being the second. What a lame-ass. The thing is, it is the SUMMER and I am trying to get out and about, do stuff, and I have also been reading a lot of good books which has kept me away from wanting to get on the computer.

That said, I am at work now and cannot read my lovely books. I can, however, pretend to my colleagues that I am working hard tap tap tapping away on the keyboard when in fact I am doing nothing that resembles work at all. It has been one of those boring days when I am actually hoarding up things to do so that I can keep fully occupied. For instance, I know that I have to get in my car and deliver some papers to some advocates, but I am procrastinating this and I could have done it much earlier, but then I wouldn't have anything to look forward to.

The thing about my job it that it seems to be one extreme or the other, either manic busy or dead slow. The icing on the cake is that I have a late appointment this evening to view a house with a lady who I have already sussed out on the phone and I know that she will absolutely hate the property, yet I still have to go. Boo.

I finally have my husband back after two weeks away, and he's not going anywhere for a while. Since I last blogged I have been on a bus party hen night, and to a wedding reception. For the non-Guernsey people reading this I should explain that a bus party is a fairly frantic pub crawl around the island on a bus (doh!), where you only have time for a quick short drink in each pub, then you have to get on a moving vehicle and on to the next. You end up losing people, getting sickeningly drunk and falling down a lot. I used to go on them when I was at school and there were awful injuries with people falling off (Ant!!). Moving vehicles and booze don't go, in my book. But anyway I survived it. Then on Sat I went to a lovely reception where people played air guitar, fell over (Sue!!) and drank lots of wine (Me).

I Been Busy!

Grandios apologies for my lack of action of late, and I'm afraid this isn't going to be a really long entry. I am pretty tired, and intend to get off the internet soon so I can curl up for a hour or so of telly before bed.

Well, I have been away, off the rock so to speak, to the UK for a long weekend. On Friday I flew into Bristol and met up with Nick, who has been over all last week and is still over at the moment. Six of us went out to a noodle bar, I forget the name but it began with a 'B' (Budokans?), the sort of funky place where you all sit on along one loooong table. Nick, myself, Rew, Charlotte, James R & Miranda all came out, I hadn't met Miranda before & had only met Charlotte once so it was cool to spend some time with them.

On Sat am we drove up the M5 to Bredons Norton, a minute village near Pershore in Worcestershire, where we booked into a guesthouse, got changed and went up to Deer Park Hall for Claire & Nicks wedding!! It was SO LOVELY. A gorgeous day, despite the recent floods that the locals were telling us all about. We got really pissed, barn danced etc until the wee hours. The only sad thing was that I saw an owl die. They have been starving to death around there because all of the mice/voles were drowned in the floods so they can't find food. This one was at the guesthouse in the carpark and as we were there it fell off its plant pot and died. Horrible, as it made me think of Hedwig.

On Sunday we drove to Wiltshire and went to Longleat Safari Park! We just did the drive bit, rather than the whole House, it was awesome!! Didn't go into the monkey bit as we were in James' really nice car and them monekys are NASTY. We got up close and personal with lions, tigers, wolves, buffalos, rhinos and a lot of other very cool creatures though!! The deer enclosure was closed unfortunately due to the foot and mouth outbreak so we didn't get to feed them which was a shame. James' parents, Enid & Chris, run a guesthouse right by Longleat and they kindly invited us for lunch. Their house is a beautiful old place in large grounds, Nick had lots of fun with their ride-on mower & Enid made us a beautiful lunch. That night we drove back to Bristol and stayed at Miranda's flat, watche Saw 3 & ate pizza.

That brings me up to yesterday which we spent in Bristol. We spent nearly the whole day at Cribbs Causeway (got to get some shopping in!!) and then my lovely husband surprised me with a nights stay at the Bristol Hotel du Vin! We had a pretty special room with two floors and a bathroom upstairs with a balcony overlooking the bedroom(!) and last night we drank some incredible wine and ate some rather lovely food in their restaurant, which is one of Bristols best. We haven't suddenly won the lottery by the way, Nicks sister works for the hotel chain and got us a very good rate! We didn't really do anything for our Anniversary so it was especially lovely. I say it was a surprise, I knew Nick was planning something and the night before I dreamed that he was taking me to the Hotel du Vin - Spooky!!

OK my eyes are starting to glaze over now, time for bed, xx

Heroes starts tonight folks!

I don't know if I have, in fact, babbled on about how utterly fantastic Heroes is, but for those who haven't seen it, it starts tonight on BBC2. It is a completely awesome show and if you get the chance DO watch it, do. I would describe it as a cross between Lost and the X Men films. A pretty cool combo, no? There are many fanciable men in it, I personally would be happy with a Petrelli sandwich.

I went to the cinema last night and watched the new Harry Potter film, No.5 - it was very good but the film was partially ruined by a twatty prankster sat right behind us who slowly ripped apart his popcorn container throughout the fim. When I stood up and turned around at the end I saw that he had, in fact, ripped it up into little strips and made a pretty pinata style hat which was very artistic, but I wanted to stuff it sideways up his rectum.

I also finished HP - Deathly Hallows, on Monday night and I CRIED and CRIED. Nick came home early to find me rolled up on the bed in tears reading it. He walked in, clocked the look on my puffy, red-eyed face and reversed back out of the room, closing the door softly behind him. I loved it, and am going to reread parts of it again very soon. The last few chapters especially deserve a second go. I am very pleased with JK Rowling, she did not disappoint.

Ode to the New Harry Potter Book

Whither oh art thou you fine flaxen hardback
I waitest and waitest to hear the sound of your arrival
Come thither! And I shalt open thouest covers
and plunge myself truely into the depths of your fresh bounteous story!

1) I stayed up late last night to finish Half Blood Prince
2) It made my cry, again, even though I knew how it ended and had tried to emotionally prepare myself beforehand
3) I have the book arriving from Amazon today
4) I am stuck at work until 1pm so I have no idea if it has arrived at home yet
5) My boss' wife called and hers turned up on the doormat at 8:45 this morning, from Amazon. I was still at home then and mine hadn't arrived.

What if mine doesn't arrive today?? I have cleared the whole afternoon and the entire day tomorrow to devote myself to it. If I don't get it I might cry. I am studiously avoiding all media related websites, or any mention of HP on the telly/radio that might give the plot lines away. I will be so upset if I find out what happens before reading it myself.

If it doesn't arrive I will read some more of my 'Soul of the Fire' book by Terry Goodkind that has been scaring me with its plotlines of evil chickens. I never knew chickens could be terrifyingly scary until I read this book.

It's Friday... we deserve some humour

Where to start!??

What a week.

Where did I leave off? Oh yes, I was reminiscing about the lovely weekend we had on Herm island. That seems so long ago now! Dramatic pause.......

...

So we came back all sunkissed and windswept on our boat, completely exhausted and very happy. The next couple of days were fairly uneventful, then on Wednesday afternoon we had a call from Laurie suggesting we meet down at Port Soif for an evening BBQ. We spent a gorgeous night down on the beach, although it was a bit chilly. It was one of those nights that made me realise how lucky I am to live here.

When we rolled at about 9pm it was to be greeted by a load of answerphone messages. My sister, Suzi, had been rushed into hospital as she had had her routine scan and they had found difficulties with the babies. After some frantic phoning around we discovered that she was having an emergancy cesaerean that night, so we ended up getting not much sleep at all inbetween the worrying and the pacing to and fro.

The next morning Suzi was in recovery and the babies were out, at 32 weeks they were a month and a half premature and the docs weren't sure how they were going to turn out, they were on ventilators etc etc. Suzi was also suffering from an infection of some kind but was on the mend, although on morphine and in pain. THEN we discovered that Nick's little sister had also been taken into hospital! She has a rare disease that affects her bowels and was having a very nasty flare-up. Nick & I decided to go over to the UK straight away & booked ourselves on the Friday evening crossing to Weymouth.

We duly got over and spent the night with Nick's folks. On Sat morning Nick saw his sister briefly in hospital as she wasn't really up for visitors, then we pegged it to Swansea. We went straight to the hospital to meet Suzi, Simon, Ralph & Rowan, who are officially the most gorgeous tiny little creatures in the entire planet. Suzi seemed very tired although definitely on the mend after her op. the twins were so tiny but off the ventilators and wriggling around.

We spent the night with Simon at his parents and on Sunday went back to the hospital after spending a few hours tidying up their new house. (They have just finished building a house and the removal can is set to arrive tomorrow, the timing was just brilliant! So we helped Simon just tidy through and chuck out the rubbish.) Suzi seemed miles better on Sunday and I was able to touch Rowan through the incubator holes! He is slightly bigger than Ralph although Ralph is catching up fast. They are both around 4lb which is a very good weight for preemie babies apparentely. And yes, they are identical. We drobe back to Southampton later that day and, as it was our wedding aniversary, stopped at Pizza Hut in Portswood and had a disgusting greasy dinner to celebrate!

On Monday we spent some time with Nick's sister, who was by now thankfully out of hospital and getting serious bedrest at home, then I headed back to Guernsey on the ferry in the afternoon. Since then I have been chilling out. Nick is still over there and is heading back later this week. The twins are doing increasingly well as each day goes by, and with each day there is less risk of complications/infections. They are getting bigger and stronger, I will put some pics up soon!

There are far too many pictures to put up here, and these are just small ones to give a taste of our lovely weekend in Herm. It was absolutely fabulous, everyone had a great time. We all got sunburnt and came back absolutely knackered but it was worth it! Many more pics on facebook, which is where all of these came from.

Not long until the weekend

I'm hoping its going to be good weather, otherwise we are going to have a house full of visitors all sleeping on the floors/sofas.

Mind you, camping in the rain is quite good fun. And you always manage to have a laugh in Herm, it's just that sort of place. It's Nick's 30th Birthday today, we are both working today but are out tonight for a meal with quite a few friends, as a precurser to the weekend's celebrations! And last night we had Chris, Sonia & my Dad around for champagne - how very!! Quite delightful I tell thee. One is going up in the world.

Molly had a complete freak out last night and kept me awake, it was just as I was in bed trying to nod off when I heard the most awful scared howling from the hallway. I rushed out and there was Molly with her tail fluffed up like a big black squirrel all hissy & jumpy and staring at the alcove under the stairs as if the devil himself was hiding there. We have a bunch of junk piled up under the desk there so I had to get down on hands and knees and check it all out, I must admit I was a little bit scared incase there was another cat/huge spider/toad/demon monster lurking there but I couldn't see anything. She really wouldn't calm down so I just went back to bed in the end. Later on there was more cat screaming coming from the garden and again I had to jump out of bed and check it out and this time there was another cat in the garden. It scarpered when it saw me. So I hopefully don't have a ghost/demon spawn living under the stairs.

I had a crazy viewing the other day, in fact the lady selling the property was crazy, completely and utterly. She insisted on being at home and watching us as I showed the poor unsuspecting purchaser around. I thought we had got away with it and were just about to leave when she stopped us and started a rant about dog poo. A big rant about poo being wiped into a persons sink, that is not what you need when trying to conduct a viewing.

Ah well back to work I guess, my boss's wife brought me a jar of her homemade strawberry jam today. I have three viewings this afty but my morning one has cancelled hence me being here writing this.

Grrrr, Bad Nicholas Cage

I am fuming. Nick made me watch the remake of the Wicker Man, one of the best films of all time, last night.

How dare you Mr Cage, even attempt to simulate Edward Woodward in that film. Your paltry, feeble cries of woe during the final scenes did nothing to send tingles down my spine. You were nowhere even close to replicating the "Oh Lord, Oh Jesus Christ, Noooo....!" lines that came across so horrifying in the original.

I don't even know why Nick ordered it off Lovefilm, because he loves the original too, to the point where he knows the words to all the songs. The only good bit in the remake was that they didn't change the ending into a happy one, I think I would have vomited all over the TV if that has happened. And don't even get me started on the fat bird that plays Christophed Lee's character.

I still have a lot of love for Mr Cage, mainly due to his part in Moonstruck, which is another one of the best films of all time, so I will forgive, but he needs to stay away from remakes.

I have just come back to the office after going home for lunch and eating a tin of macaroni cheese. I am so healthy. (I ate a kiwi to right the balance so I don't feel too bad.) Cash in the Attic always seems to be on when I go home for lunch, it is such dross.

And good Lord I can write in coloured fonts on this! I'll be jiggered.

Bored Bored Bored

OK I'm bored now. This morning was busy, but now I have nothing in my diary until 4:30. Poo. Then I have an evening drinks do at Castel Cornet. Not that I want anyone to come along and stalk me but there we have it. It will be highly boring and the one I went to last year left me very drunk ans stupid and talking to people I don't know. If it is cold this evening I will definitely be coming home early, and I wo'nt be drinking too much. I have to work all day on Saturday which is a bit stinky but then I can take the following Friday off which is great.

I watched a good film last night - Lucky Number Slevin. Very good! More so than I was expecting so that is nice.

Oh God I just slipped my shoes off under my desk and they REEK. Stupid cheap shoes. OK, the shoes have gone back on now, that is good.

I am currently praying for good weather next weekend for our Herm extravanganza and also sorting out stuff to do on Nick's actual birthday, which is next Wednesday. I have his present sorted which is a relief. It is also Suzi's 30th on Monday and she is doing some gorgeous spa thing with Simon. I am excited cos I have just booked flights to Bristol in August for a wedding & I might get a chance to pop to Wales & see her. Woooo! We might stay in Bath with Alex & Jess if they'll have us, or in Bristol with some other friends.

And my boss's wife bought me a special turquoise coloured pen today, because I had been going on about how much I liked the colour. Isn't that lovely of her!

My Birthday... Update

This is the Blythe Doll that Nick bought me!

Her eyes change colour and she is called Cinnamon Girl.

Check out the Darlin Blythe link down the left hand side for her home page!!

I feel hot, not in a sexy way though

It is as muggy as an atheletes crotch in my office today, and I have positioned myself under the tepid breeze of my clip on desk fan, which is cooling my head nicely while my feet remain toasty.

I was working on a window display earlier, cutting and sticking Blue-Peter stylee and I had to do this one piece three times because my sweaty hands kept smudging the ink. I know that air conditioning is not good for the environment, but what I would give for a cool breeze around my stifled toes right now...

Enough! I think I may have to open the small office fridge and wedge myself into it if I don't start thinking about something else. I went shopping in my lunch hour and bought lots of nice things, chicken kiev for tea, mmmm you can't beat that old trusty favourite. I am fully recovered (and so is the house and the laptop!) from my party weekend, although I have been feeling quite tired all week. I went shopping in my lunch hour on Monday and bought a couple of new tops plus a cheap but nice work dress that I am wearing today. I am wearing totally the wrong shoes with it though as I was in a hurry this morning and couldn't find the ones I wanted.

I have a very pregnant sister at the moment, she is 29.5 weeks with twins and really struggling to find clothes that fit. She is very tall, slender and with a huge low down bump. She says her trousers keep falling down and she keeps unintentionally mooning people at work! I find this hilarious. If you ever need an excise to moon your boss get pregnant. "Oh sorry I was just bending down to pick up a paperclip!" I suggested braces but this is seriously dyke-y on a girl and she could end up looking like Tweedledee.

Pics from my Party

These are some of Katie's pics. There are loads more on our camera but our laptop is badgered at the moment so I can't load em up!

I has a wicked birthday, lots of booze, good company, BBQ food, cards & pressies. Nick bought me a Cinnamon Girl Darling Blythe doll!!!!! I am made up! (See my profile picture for what she looks like). It is all over now but I still have lots of clothes vouchers to spend which is great. Me & Fran had a joint party on Sat at my flat, we had a gazebo with balloons and lots and lots of Pimms.

Hopefully I will put more pics up soon! On Sunday we went to Herm for lunch with it being Fathers Day and all that, then Nick & I went to the cinema and watched 28 weeks later (verdict was if you ignore all the crappy plot holes/obvious twists then you will enjoy it purely for the scenery of a deserted London - brilliant I would imagine if you lived in London).

I need a wee and a slice of cake (not at the same time).

Pa Pa Pa PAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa

Just a quick one.... it's my birthday tomorrow!! Tonight after work we erected (pffft!) a gazebo on our balcony in preparation for my party! Actually, our party as it is a joint one for Fran as well. We have tied it to the balcony rails with plastic ties - I hope it isn't windy tonight.

Just come home from the Rockmount, it was absolutely heaving with people, and now I am blowing up balloons. Nick is downstairs in the spare room 'preparing' my present!?!?!? ???? Not long to wait now, in less than an hour I will be 28. Or if you're fussy I think I was born early in the morning so not until then. I am so excited!!

I know I haven't blogged as much as usual but that is because everyone is on bloody facebook now so I mainly go on that.

Ahh, so many balloons, so little time...

Arrrr, Sea Mist & Old Skool Haunts

We had an exciting adventure on Saturday afternoon. After my last post, I finished work at 1pm then we went down to the QE2 Marina and launched the boat (Jeannie) on a Herm mission. We'd just got out of the marina when a think sea fog came down all around and we couldn't see either Guernsey or Herm. It was SO eerie, all we could hear was the occasional PAAARRRP of the fog horn. Using our chart plotter we managed to get over to Herm but we had to go mega mega slow and I was terrified of the Condor ferry hurtling into us. All was well though and we went ashore at Belvoir for a cup of tea and snacks before making our perilous way back. We saw a puffin bobbing along! It always amazes me how diddy they are.

In the evening we went for a bite at the Terrace with Chris, Sonia & Jamie, then we were joined by Penny, Matt & some of their friends as it was her birthday. It ended up being a really old skool night of going to places that we don't normally go to. Hence, we ended up in Pieces Bar which I am amazed is still going and hasn't changed a bit since I used to drink there under-age, and also the Golden Lion, where there were many slightly scary locals and lots of drunkeness.

On Sunday I did lots of sunbathing, went for a paddle at Port Soif and popped along to Saumarez Park to give Nick some moral support as he was compere-ing a fun picnic day for his work. It was all very jolly. And Rachel came around for pizza in the evening.

All in all, a rather lovely weekend.

sdrawkcab gnikaeps

Yesterday, I arrived home from work to find Nick in the lounge, on his laptop, with a microphone plugged in. Using a very simple programme and a sampling casio keyboard he had been recording songs for our friend Katy G who has been poorly. (She was in Darfur at the time and had a nasty flare up of rheumatism, not nice at all.) Anyway we started trying to talk backwards into the mike and then reversing it to see if it made sense. We used to so this a lot at Uni and it was always a bit scary, the end result. The scariest is if you just talk random gobbledegook and then play it backwards and discover messages. We used to think they were from Satan. Once, doing this we heard it say "I am in the sky behind you" which shitted us up good and proper. If you have seen Twin Peaks, its just like that little dwarf guy with the 'coffeeee'. Nasty. But fun.

Oh and this is really brilliant, if you have sound on your computer: CLICKY WOO

It is Saturday, I am at work. History is repeating. So, I still look a bit scratchy but my skin is healing. I came back to work on Wednesday so its been a nice short week. I didn't have time to wash my hair this morning but I am wearing gold shoes so as to distract from my greasy head. I am also dressed all in black, as I am in a bit of a black mood from not getting enough sleep and also having a slight hangover. I ate a load of chips and cheese from the Ribshack (Shitshack) last night and now feel guilty and also a little bit sick.

Tonight I am supposed to be out again for a friends birthday, but I need sleep. Whats a girl to do? Tomorrow I will be loitering in Saumarez Park. Next weekend, yes NEXT WEEKEND, it is my birthday, and also Fran's birthday, and we shall be celebrating. Lovely!

Grots

Poooo, been ill, getting better, back to work today. Had a grotty old weekend and start of the week. The illness involved a flare up of my allergy thing (see my blog from Nov 2005 - the last time I had it!) which was a bit horrible and I have marks all over my body that make me look like I've been in a catfight. The doctor says I have dermatographia which is where your skin is hypersensitive so if you scratch yourself or even wear slightly raspy clothes you end up with these red marks that blister and anyway I'll stop there! You probably don't want to know. Luckily it wasn't really painful, just nasty looking. Its much better today though.

I have also been growing tomatoes, painting my bannisters (white) and being domestic. I am currently working late as I'm waiting for someone to turn up for a viewing. Then its a nice night in with Nick & Mols in front of the telly. We were supposed to be going up the pub but everyone has bailed.

Poorly Me

Since I last blogged I have been feeling a but sorry for myself. On Friday I felt a bit itchy scratchy and I went to the doctor. He said "OOOOOh! You have an impressive case of dermatograpia giant urticaria!" So there! I got him to write that down so I could sound clever, it sounds way better than 'a nasty rash'.

Basically I have had an allergic reaction, probably to food and the likely contender is strawberries, that has made the histamine levels in my 'mast cells' go crazy and leak out and when I agitate my skin (ie by scratching or wearing tight clothes) I get these red weals that stay for days! I look like I have been in a rather nasty cat fight with a bunch of chavs. Its not really painful, just itchy and everywhere. I am on some strong tablets that make me woozy. They are fun, I am sleeping lots. Anyway it has gone down a lot today though so I am going to go back to work tomorrow. Nick made me help him paint the bannisters today so I have been keeping busy. I have been listening to Radio 4 all day while painting so I can tell you all about what has been going on between NATO and Russia. Also, I am growing tomatoes.

Molly got her tail in the white paint pot this afternoon and now has an unusual greyish patch that refuses to wash out.

ooooh Funfunfun!!

clicky clicky for animation goodness. Hours, or at the very least 15 minutes, of fun.
