The Village, the college, the wedding
The Village: A scary film - very clever I thought - only a hint of a suspicion that all was not right because the houses looked too clean. I did seat jumping at least twice. My housemate tells me she worked rather a lot out right at the beginning because the greenhouses were of a design 20 years too late - must be tough being so historically aware...
the college: today was the start of my Postgraduate Certificate in Management. I think I may have bitten of a very big chunk and chewing will be hard. 1st impressions of tutor from today were a bit worrying as she's so like someone at work and I will have to learn to differentiate, but I think she's probably a flaky boffin, which might cause a bit more study requirements as the classes are less productive than they could be but she will be very encouraging.
the wedding: from Saturday which I have yet to discuss. Fascinating juxtaposition with the Village - the vicar did an impressive sermon about love at the wedding and the motivation for the Village was love - just different ways of going about things. Anyway this wedding of people I've never met but were friends of the chaps. There was a church do - which was significantly less grim than some. We think you should send out a song list prior to the wedding so you can practice the hymns and have more fun though. Was introduced to a bunch more people by the Chap, some were very nice indeed. Met a couple of blasts from my past too - she knows the bride through an internet needle point group (everyone has a hobby...) Met new people too who were very nice. Then there was food and dancing and it was generally a good time. I like weddings of people I don't know. I don't get sucked into politics/fallings out etc etc like if I know them. Perhaps I'll get over my dislike of weddings if I go to a few more like this. But that requires not meeting any more of the chaps friends until they get married. Tricky.
