Brief Update...

[lostcarpark]

Thursday: Got Married! Hurrah! Everything went perfectly, thanks to madangie's fantastic organisation.

Friday: Got up. Had breakfast in hotel. Stopped off at home. Went to Maynooth and checked into another hotel.

Saturday: Octocon. Successfully married shamanism and quantum physics. Had great fun at Casino Night.

Sunday: More Octocon. Talked about fanzines. Bidded in auction. Had a grand time.

Monday: Quiet day at home.

Tuesday: Rose early. Drove to ferry. Panic upon discovering bank didn't open till 10.30 (staff training). Just made ferry. Jack threw up. Got lost in Chester. Arrived in London. Checked into hotel.

Wednesday: Take open-top bus tour of London. Slip on wet steps at Marble Arch. Dance around and say "feck" a lot. Continue on. Get dizzy. Fall down. Get taken to hospital. Get released with clean bill of health. Eat Pizza. Go crazy in Hamleys.

Thursday: Leave London city for Slough. Nice hotel. Go shopping. Chinese for lunch. See "Shark Tale" in cinema (fun, but not as good as Finding Nemo). Call in on Stef in new house. Dinner in hotel.

Friday: Legoland! Yay! Lots of cool rides and fun things to see and do. Cool dragon roller coaster. Coming home with lots of lego. Resisted temptation of warehouse clearance sale on way out.

More when I get a chance.

Oh, and marriage is wonderful, I recommend it to everyone.

Congratulations to you both on the wedding!

I only live a short drive from Legoland (though I've never been ... *and* I have a vast collection of Lego!)

"Warehouse clearance sale", where, at Legoland????!!! Tell me more!!!

In a marquee outside the enterance - so you son't even have to pay in. You get bigger discounts if you've an annual membership, however. The "Pick-a-Brick" store inside is also extremely cool, though I went for the large cup rather than the 1kg bag, and Jack probably put more in than I did.

Glad it all went well...congrats from me and Chris.

But Slough? There's nothing nice about the place! Uxbridge is much better :)

[lostcarpark.livejournal.com]

It's a hotel on the A4 that's pretty comfortable, and close to LegoLand (and we got a package for the LegoLand tickets). It doesn't really matter where it is. We did do a little shopping and go to the cinema there, but that was about it. I did look for hotels in Uxbridge, but couldn't find anything for a reasonable price.

[jcaswell.livejournal.com]

True enough...pretty much the only hotel in Uxbridge is the Master Brewer and that's a real dive (so much so, it's about to be demolished in favour of a shiny new Tesco. Less than half a mile from our house, that'll be fantastic!)

And all the airport hotels are stupidly overpriced. Bah.

Yay!

Congratulations, and I'm glad it's going well!

Congratulations on the wedding - I really wish I could have been there, we tried to get there but it just didn't happen :(

And I hope you're ok after falling down and visiting the hospital *hugs*

Congratulations, and I'm sorry I wasn't there on the day. Are there pictures? ;)

Congrats on the wedding

after Jenners in Edinburgh I don't think a Lego Clearance Sale is a safe place to bring grutok (Jenners has the bags of pick&Mix Lego)

Congratulations!
Hoping to make it to Legoland one of these days...
