Weddings & Music

We attended our friends' wedding on Saturday. I was an usher and Marianne was bridesmaid again.

Improvement over the last wedding for her - again she wouldn't walk down the aisle but she became the photographers darling afterwards. I can't wait to see the pics when they're ready.

I was asked to witness the signatures which was a really nice surprise as I didn't know about it until the registrar called me forward.

All in all it was an absolutely fantastic day. Marianne was collected by my parents at about 6:30pm (the poor thing was shattered!) and was asleep in bed by 7:15pm. We took advantage the next morning by going to the cinema to see Die HArd 4.0. Fantastic film - leave your brain at home!

Since getting my iPod for Christmas and the 3 mile walk to and from work each day i've really started appreciating my music again. One of my favourite bands, Buffalo Tom, have released their first studio album in nine years and Play.com confirmed on Sunday that it had been despatched to me. I can't wait. You can listen to some of their songs on their Myspace page.

Mind you, the new Velvet Revolver album was posted last Monday and only arrived on Saturday. And i've just read there's another postal strike this Thursday for 24 hours from 7pm. Aaarh!
