Speed of life

Sorry things have been so quiet.

My weeks seem to be passing in a blur, and the weekends even faster. I seem to be perpetually running about, chasing things, doing chores. I'm not complaining, as such - I just can't believe the speed in which things seem to be zooming past.

A couple of Sundays ago we had a picnic for JJ's landmark birthday, which was a lot of fun. We saw lots of folk we hadn't seen in ages and it was a beautiful day for it. It's made me a little determined to have a packed diary of get-togethers this summer. All of which, of course, will lead to time whizzing past even faster.

This past weekend was spent in Devon, taking care of my (rather ill) mother and doing more wedding-related things, like handing official pieces of paper to assistant registrars. The room in which we're getting married is faintly municipal, a bit like a library reading room that's been stripped of the microfiche readers and periodicals. I don't mind this: it feels welcoming and familiar, in a way that most libraries do.

Nephew #2 and his betrothed are visiting soon, which I'm looking forward to, and plans include going to the Globe for some Shakespearean action. It's been ages since I was last there and I'm looking forward to it, even though the production has Matthew Kelly as a cast member.
