hathycolYesterday I saw Russell Brand. To be precise, I saw Russell Brand just by Temple church (I like to walk home through Temple when I can, it's very pretty) telling a group of people about Temple church. Weird tour guide. Definitely him, too, as opposed to my Florence (minus Machine) spot on Saturday which is only really a maybe.
This was the highlight of an otherwise dreadful journey home, which started going wrong when they booted me off the District line train because the Victoria platform was closed. DUDES WALKING FROM ST JAMES TO VICTORIA TAKES AGES particularly when the 'feels like' temperature is -6 and you're in a skirt and tights.
This time a year ago I was getting very nervous and excited about getting married. This is an increasingly odd thought.
I like being married. It is heaps of fun - I keep saying that basically it's like living together but with better legal protection and some jewellery, which is entirely true but I must admit that I do enjoy the cachet of Being Married. To Richie, at that, who is a tremendously wonderful human being. It doesn't feel like it's been a year. In terms of Major Life Changes Of 2012 (there were a few) the biggest one is absolutely and definitely moving to London in very real terms, but, well. I will probably not celebrate the anniversary of moving here. I am very much looking forward to a fun weekend of celebrating our anniversary (we don't get another one for six years, after all) in Stratford Upon Avon, unexpectedly freezing temperatures and Tube closures for our stop be damned.
I also think I may be over my post wedding blues, which in retrospect I definitely had. I keep saying to people planning weddings that the best thing about the wedding night in going to bed knowing that there is no more wedding to plan. This is absolutely true, but at the same time there's a little bit of a hole in your life where the planning and excitement was - think post convention blues, but with no more conventions to celebrate? Then again, I suddenly have a lot of people getting engaged around me so I have OTHER PEOPLE'S WEDDINGS to look forward to, which is possibly even better. (Apart from anything else, I am almost guaranteed to have none of my family at those occasions.)
