Oops, another big break in the journal. Let me summarise a bit:

  • Received a visit from my parents. They seemed pleased with the state of the flat and with the meal we cooked for them (maultaschen again). Got a bottle of wine from them, which we drunk at the flatwarming (see below).
  • Had a water meter installed, in the hope of saving money on water bills. However, in the last 2 weeks we appear to have used...5.1 m3 of water, which seems like quite a lot. Must remember to check what the metered charges are.
  • Went to see Rodelinda at the RFH with Nattie (where's that report, dear?). Enjoyed it greatly.
  • Made and ate large quantities of creêpes on Shrove Tuesday (one Christian custom I'll happily go along with).
  • Attended an a.f.p meet at The Green Man in London, with Nattie (for the first time) and various house-guests.
  • Organised and held the long-awaited flatwarming on Sunday from 2 onwards. Spent the morning shopping and preparing things that should have been done earlier. Spent half the afternoon continuing to prepare things, oh, and cooking lunch at about 1:30, leaving about 10 minutes to eat it before the announced start time of the party. Was pleased to be able to bring together various different groups of people, including next-door neighbours who hadn't got together as a group in the several years they've lived here. Hopefully this will be the start of various neighbourly activity, or something.
  • Went to the registry office this morning. Yes, we are allowed to get married, unless you object in the next 2 weeks.

"I object!!!"

j/k LOL!

Yeah, I looked into all that jazz when Angie was supposed to be marrying me in the UK... you don't even have to have a VISA to get married... Did you read your handbook? It's quite useful - there's a years countdown section. I skipped to two weeks when I got mine, I realised that I hadn't done a thing. Oh well. Didn't need a speech, tux, best man, dress, cake, church (or office), refreshments, flowers, maids of honour, brides maids, stag night, licence or anything in the end... LOL ;o)

I really hope I can be in the UK to go to it, if I'm invited... ;o) I'd truly love to see you get married.
