Still knackered after the wedding in Brum on Saturday. It was held in the Conference Centre/Park at Brum University, and the weather was excellent so the Party spilled out onto the lawns. Frisbee's, footballs and croquet had been provided, so there was plenty to entertain drunken adults - and the kids.
Caught up with a few faces that we hadn't seen for some time, and drank far too much Tetley's.
Samwise got bored with some of the readings at the ceremony, and started shouting "The End!" half way through them.
It's been a few years since we've been back to Brum (we used to live there). There's a huge great Radisson Hotel at one end of New Street now, and a number of other developments. They haven't got rid of the so-called "concrete collar" as some of the redevelopment schemes promised, this is an inner ring road that circles the city centre and dips underground in a few places. Great for whizzing around town in a car. Frodo loved the tunnels.
The conference park is just behind "The Gun Barrels" pub, just past Pebble Mill off the Bristol Road. The wedding was in "Hornton Grange" and we stayed over the road in the accomodation at "Lucas House".
Managed to make breakfast, and got back home at mid-day. One of our neighbours invited us to an impromptu barbecue, so it was more booze and food in the Sun for the afternoon. Got to meet and chat with a few more of the neighbours.
Thoroughly good weekend.
Back to work today to discover, as expected, no flooding whatsoever. I noticed that some sandbags had been placed near our building and around the Liver Building, so the flood warning was being taken seriously.
Very busy day at work today. Little time to think, let alone blog.
