Well, tonight Nony and I went round to visit a friend of ours....I say 'ours' because she has now become a friend to Nony too. Helen was my very first gf, all those years ago when I was horrified at the prospect of being with women lol! 11 years ago to be precise. After we broke up, a few years passed before we hooked up again as friends - and since then we have built a really good friendship.


Anyway, a couple of weeks back she got married to a gorgeous man called Andreas - they're both Greek Cypriot and their parents grew up in the same village in Cyprus. They had their wedding in Cyprus and tonight Nony and I got to see the wedding photos - there were these ones where they had all this money pinned to them (a greek tradition no less). You'll be stunned when we tell you how much money they ended up with....... ..............£22,000 (which works out at about $30,000+)!!! What a start to married life, huh?

Ahhhh, but you, my dear Nursie, are biased cos you loves me ;)


Sounds like you have the perfect things lined up there (apart from the laundry that is...but I could always pop over and do that for you if you like?)...know what you mean about just enjoying some on-the-board time - feels like this is the first time in ages I've had a bit of that myself.

I've heard her grapes are voluminous and hard to resist. :)

Her grapes are like honey on the vine and get sweeter all the time. :)

I think a beer is a smashing idea... of course, I've cracked into some for the first time in a couple of weeks, given I'm dieting...

congratulations to your friend on her pending momminess! So do you get to spoil the child rotten?

That *is* a lot of money, yikes!

So what is your pleasure? All I've got is crappy old Coors right now :(

"either way, it was a very flattering thing to say for someone as plain as wee me :)"

Excuse me? I've seen enough pics to disagree with that statement!
