Well that was a tiring weekend. not sure when I have packed so much in (and it wasnt even my doing- I would have been happy being much more sedate in our activities!). We had the meal and bar and club on Friday night then off to Paris early Sat am (bumping into two people I knew from El Rancho in NZ on my way to the Eurostar - Willy and Matt for those reading who know El Rancho peoples- that was v v v weird indeed and a real shame as they were on their way to work and me to catch the train so we didnt get long to chat). We got straight off Eurostar, had lunch, went on a boat trip and up the Eiffel Tower and didnt get back to the hotel til 8! So by the time we had had champagne in the bride's room and helped her decide what to wear (necessitating at least 15 changes of outfit, of course) we went off for drinks and then sat down at the table for dinner at 11.30! I was totally exhausted and past the point of wanting to eat by then so I decided with the pregnant bridesmaid that we would miss out post-dinner dancing and go back to the hotel as soon as we finished the meal! That didnt turn out to be until 1.45am! And then up early-ish yesterday morning to go and stand in a fountain in a park in Paris to cool off until we had to leave for the train! It was just sooooo hot (not sure of the exact temp but probs something close to 35 ish) and we all drank lots more water than alcohol so it was quite a tame weekend really. But people were so lovely.
I feel so very tired today and suspect it may last all week!
I am hoping to exchange and receive news of my job this week....
