This morning we had to take John to work for 8am (which was actually 7 as the clocks had gone forward), and it was a beautiful day, sun shining, everything all clean from the night (and previous day's) rain, so Team DM Pirates went Geo caching. Have been hearing about this from KW and Jane for ages, and it sounded like so much fun - especially when the weather is nice.
So Ruth, Alex and I took a trip into town, and after a good bit of searching from the clues on the official site, we found our first cache! It was just a logbook to sign, but the feeling of achievement was amazing. Especially as we don't have a GPS yet - it should arrive mid next week. We did try another, but this was a bit harder, and I think we do really need a GPS for that one, so will try again once its arrived (and take John with us - he's not as self-conscious about rooting around!).
Only 62 days left til the wedding now. I think we're pretty much on target. Have organised for the reading of the banns in our parish, had first dress fitting (OMG it looks soooo good! Couldn't believe the difference having the right size made. And 4 1/2" heels might have helped!). Got Alex's suit (he looks so cute!), and John's shirt and wedding present ;) Just need to get his and Ruth's wedding shoes, and for Rosie's dress to arrive, and the only other thing really is the food. We bought the wedding rings a few weeks back - mine is an 18ct white gold super heavy weight 3mm one which goes perfectly with my engagement ring, and John's is a 5mm Platinum one - cost as much as both my rings put together which I think is nice.
Have a Land Law essay I've been putting off all holiday, and have to prepare for a Criminal Law oral - advising a client on their liability for murder, so really should be getting ready for that, but have trouble getting motivated unless a deadline is looming. I thrive on stress and deadlines!
