Wedding
home again, home again
Apr 3rd
We have been home for a few days now, and i have to say it has been great sleeping in our own bed and being in our own home.
We are still in the process of settling in, there are lots of things we would like to do around the house now that we are back and the stress and planning of the combined wedding and honeymoon are over.
As soon as we have tidyied the place up we will look for a date to have a BBQ/Get together/slide show/thing – Id really like to catch up with everyone again.
It was great seeing you all at the wedding. I was particularly proud that we got asked to leave (in a nice way) the reception hall of our own wedding! It was great so many of you hung around for so long – couldn’t ask for better friends 
Traveling around Europe really agreed with me and honestly I didn’t think it would at all – being a pasty white nerd I tend to like staying inside 
It really opened my eyes to how different cultures live and interact with each other. I can’t wait to visit some more places – after I rack up some more annual leave we are off to New Zealand for a bit (probably close to the end of the year I’d say).
Anyway, I’m rambling and my OS updates have just finished downloading! hope everyone is well, I’ll get out a date on facebook asap.
Hello Paris & smelly metro subways
Mar 17th
Hello!
We have now left scotland and all of its historic castley goodness and arrived in france.
I have to say it wasn’t the best start – we got lost on the subways trying to get to Dream Castle (The Disney themed hotel we are staying at for the night). You know when the shit has hit-eth the fan when jem starts worrying. (Thats my job).
Jem just pointed out an interesting fact – It took us longer to get from the airport to the hotel, then from Scotland to France.. which is a whole other country.
And I don’t want to complain (but I will), their subways smell. alot. And just so you can imagine – I would rather sleep in the fortitude valley train station on a saturday/sunday morning after a nights worth of brisbane getting shitfaced then enter a subway in paris at any time of the day. gross.
While on the train, I was thinking of things I would like to be able to say in French (hello google translator)
- All your base are belong to us
- Take me to your leader
- do not want
But anyway, tomorrow we go to disney land!
We have 550 hi res photos already, mostly of castles and other such things.. don’t worry we will invite you all around for a slideshow
Ian! to answer your question, we were not in Dublin for the St Patrick’s day celebrations 
apparently it is very busy. They also dont celebrate for a single day, but have St Patrick’s Festival which goes for 5 days. lucky buggers. They were setting up the festival while we were there and had several streets closed off for it.
anyway, im sure most of my blog is incoherent, I blame paris for its futile public transport system, or something
Hope everyone is well!
Holidays ftw
Mar 12th
First off, I’d like to thank everyone who assisted and attended our wedding – you all helped to make this a special day for us.
Although we have been gone for a few days now, I’d only consider today the first day of our holidays – The first couple was spent in airport terminals and aboard planes.
We spent most of today on a bus tour of Dublin city, Ireland – It was a fantastic primer for all of the places that can be visited in the city (which we plan on doing tomorrow).
On the more geeky side, I can’t believe Ireland is already selling iPhones…
Anyway, I’l keep these blog posts short, and go back to ordering room service. Jem and I have been looking up words in wikipedia for wierd food names we have never heard of before.
Leaving on a jet plane..

I can’t believe how fast the end of the year has gone.. crazy stuff!

Four seasons in one day
Apr 13th
Hello!
The blog is back, and there are many updates but most importantly, Jem and I are getting married! (for anyone that doesn’t yet know). We are looking at places at the moment, and may have found a great spot! more info to come in the next few days.
I hate to update everyone using dot points, but there are far too many things to talk about (and you will get bored and stop reading).
Anyway, future posts will be back to my usual rants check out the car below.
