I let out a big sigh over the weekend ... it's nice to be reminded that there's still happiness and love and sanity in the world. My old high school chum Kyla married her long-time beau Elliot on Saturday at the Westminster Registry office - and she wore orange! And looked absolutely stunning and fantastic, as she always does. A small ceremony (with the mums who had flown over especially), with the promise of a larger do on their eventual return to New Zealand [photos here].

The "breakfast" was at The Quiet Revolution in Marylebone - a small, organic cafe with a great range of food at really good prices. Check it out sometime. So much tasty nosh was gobbled and much tasty champagne quaffed. And then a brisk stroll around Regent's Park. The happy couple went for a bit of a row. Or rather, convinced one of the other guests to row them round in the middle of the pond for a bit. Cue photo opportunity.

Tracy and Mike had a farewell bash later that evening: they're back home to New Zealand for a few months before coming back to Ireland for a bit more working. New York was on the itinerary. The bright lights of Las Vegas have taken its place. The beer and chatter flowed freely and late into the night: how invigorating it was to be around a lot of people again! And what a release to let go for a while ... to reverse your recent lifestyle of relative solitude, hunched over a keyboard until the small hours of each morning, desperate to stop filling your brain with still more information yet feeling powerless to cease.

So, a weekend of fine food, fine wine and fine company. There's little more I can ask for really.
