lady_t_220So... big day upon the morrow...
That would be me saying it's going to be all. Out. Fucking. CHAOS tomorrow evening. We had the wedding rehersal and that seemed to go OK. Zet and I don't have too much to do thankfully, just a couple of cues to remember and we're all good. Hoping we don't get too flummoxed or tread on any long skirts or anything. *oy*~~#
The SA contingent Braai'ed for us this evening. That's really just BBQ by another name to all those of you out there. They sorta' overtook the kitchen type area and just exploded food out everywhere. It was good... really very, very good. Slightly disconcerting watching a whole stampede of matronly women just swarm in and cook for us in its pure unusualness. Usually when people stay, we do the catering. So that was cool. Unexpected, but cool.
I smuggled gin into the house, and I say smuggled, cause I'm a cheap bastard and it's mine, so it's hidden. But Zet and Sarah and I had G&Ts and gave ourselves manicures in a disgustingly girly moment this afternoon while Kat's family were raiding Tescos like kids in a candy store.
You get Nik Naks in South Africa. They have a different lable to ours but taste exactly like the cheesy kind we get here. Zet says they're like Cheetos but my experience of Cheetos was more like a Watsit but bigger and with a slightly different taste... But I digress.
Paul stopped by and brought Scrumpy from the Somerset farms near where they live. We downed most of one bottle this evening already, and there's only an iddy bit of Strongbow left too. There's an assload of wine though (And I still have my gin. WHOO!) so hopefully the visiting hordes will not have to go dry.
The happy couple-to-be opened some of their wedding gifts this evening. Family stuff mostly though they still have one from me and one from mum and JR to come yet... and everyone else who's turning up, let's not forget them.
Aside from that... *eh* I guess I should think about getting an early night or something... or at least rescuing Zet from JR and Paul... :p
