Unfortunately I have no new photos to show here. I’ve been out several times and wanted to take photos, but I haven’t been carrying around my camera phone – since it doesn’t work on the networks here. (It works fine on Orange – but on Rogers it refuses to send text messages, because of the rather weird way in which their computer system works.)<\/p>\n
Last week I went to Naomi’s work barbeque out at the Wild Wild West Event Centre. It was an event for people from all the local branches of the bank she works at, so there were a lot of people there – a large number of whom were dressed in western clothes. And there were some actors there – although I use the term ‘actor’ loosely – who were acting out a small town wedding, and they had very bad accents and I didn’t really pay attention to their acting, since it was going on all the time as if it was part of the event.<\/p>\n
There was a rodeo bull thing there (a mechanical bull which bucks and rotates and tries to throw you off), but I didn’t have a go. If I’d had my camera phone I’d have a photo, but alas, I didn’t. I did have a tug of war with Naomi and just about beat her, although I came across a fence before I’d really beaten her and had to stop because I didn’t think I could climb across it while still holding the rope.<\/p>\n
Wedding planning is going well. We’ve planned a fair bit of it so far, but there’s still a million and one things left to do. Maybe even a million and two. And today I discovered that it’s going to take even longer than I thought to get Naomi’s settlement visa, so I won’t be back in England at the start of September. Hopefully by the end of that month though. I’m not sure what we’re going to do in the meantime, since we don’t have anywhere to live over here.<\/p>\n
Oh, and in case you weren’t aware – the wedding is on July 29th.
