Blackberry Virgin

So yesterday we started the day with a visit to the Spa. We had the hydrotheray session. Outdoor jacuzzi, various hydro treatments and a 2 course lunch in our gowns to end the afternoon with.

After that we celebrated the bride -to-be's birthday with a special kitchen tea at a friends place.

We rushed home, via the bottle store, to the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner. Had a pretty late night/morning.Can't find sulphide-free wine in this place, so bought a bottle of vodka, lime and soda instead :) No more red wine hangovers for me. After a bit of a lie-in this morning, we headed off to the nearest town and I finally got a BLACKBERRY! No idea how the thing works, but I'll figure it out eventually.

Karl's parents house is packed! There are 10 of us in a 3 bedroom house and we're sharing a room with Karl's brother and his girlfriend for the weekend so you can imagine how much fun it is. Its like we're kids again, giggling til the early hours! We're gonna sit around and play cranium tonight and try get an early night to be fresh for the wedding in the morning-we'll see how that goes!

Gonna need a holiday to recover from the wedding weekend.
