Another wedding!

The Happy Couple
Originally uploaded by tamaranth

A few, a very few, photos from the wedding of margotmetroland and drpete on Saturday. It was a lovely day, and I saw a number of people I really hadn't expected to see (including Andy WINOLJ, with whom I used to fence, and whose girlfriend Leah works with the bride). And of course a great many of the usual suspects. In the background there were several cricket matches ...

Fizz was fizzed, wine was quaffed, Twilight Golf was discussed, and I was abandoned on a bench. (As in 'left alone', not as in 'rampant misbehaviour'. Honest.)

Congratulations to the happy couple!

2010/48: Nights at the Circus -- Angela Carter

Nights at the Circus -- Angela Carter

In Berlin, her photograph was displayed everywhere in the newsagents' windows next to that of the Kaiser. In Vienna, she deformed the dreams of that entire generation who would immediately commit themselves whole-heartedly to psychoanalysis. Everywhere she went, rivers parted for her, wars were threatened, suns eclipsed, showers of frogs and footwear were reported in the press and the King of Portugal gave her a skipping rope of egg-shaped pearls, which she banked.
