Here in the UK we are allowed to port our mobile phone number to another provider when we leave. This means that you can keep the same number but switch contracts to a different provider. However you can’t do this from within the same provider.
Today is wedding day.
Now, I don’t know if you’ve been to a wedding where you don’t know anyone but it is quite fun. You can people watch to your heart’s content and no one says anything.
Right, I’m off to Ireland for a wedding and a five year old’s birthday. Still more excited about the birthday party than the wedding since I don’t know anyone at the wedding and there will be a BBQ at the party. Who can win over a BBQ? Exactly!
Next week I’m off to Ireland for a few days to attend a wedding. I thought I had a suitable suit to wear but this turned out not to be the case. I merely had a black pair of shoes. I don’t think I even have suitable socks. Unless I try out the Jacko look and go with white socks and black shoes? Somehow I don’t think my girlfriend would be too impressed. So this weekend I was ordered to buy a suit.
Come Autumn time, we will be taking a trip for two weeks around South Africa. This will be the first time I have visited South Africa as well as Africa itself. I have a few friends from South Africa who always rave about it and many others who have visited there and have recommended holidays there. This year I’m going to see it for myself!
This weekend is the diamond jubilee for the Queen. Here’s a selection of pictures from the day.
This weekend we took our favourite little penguin, Sean, to Bristol Zoo. It was incredibly hot this weekend in the U.K. so it was a good chance to get out and about. I think Sean liked it too!
For the May Bank holiday, we spent the time in Bristol.
Took the train from Foxford to Dublin on Friday morning which took three and a half hours but meant that we avoided the insanity of the Titanic celebrations in Lahardane.
