we're getting closer...

...just 11 sleeps until the we be wed...

...almost there!

I think I'm addicted to Scrabble.

No, really. We've had a friend staying at our place and the two of us have been playing a lot of Scrabble, at least one game a day. It's very enjoyable for us because we are quite evenly matched. We're competitive enough to be motivating (and, I think, both secretly more so than we would admit) but light hearted enough about it that we don't mind helping each other out, especially to get a lovely or rare word on the board. I knew that I had been enjoying the games and had come to expect one with my morning cup of tea (sometimes setting up the board before my friend was even out of bed) but I started to suspect that I may be developing a problem when I found myself sitting up until four in the morning playing Scrabble with myself! Addiction or not, you can't beat the thrill of tallying up 51 points for 'pacifist' at 3.30 am.


In other news, we are three Saturdays from launch and project wedding is coming together very nicely. Most of the big stuff is taken care of, allowing us to focus on details and logistics. We wrote our ceremony the other day, which involved a lot of concioius evalution of the ideas and feelings that have come up for us during the process of planning our wedding. I'm a big believer in the importance of process (by which I mean, the thinking, playing and reflecting involved in making and doing) and I would like, at some point in the near future, to write an essay or two based on the ideas that have come out of it. So I'm trying to write things down while they are fresh, but I'll need some breathing space before I can make anything of it.

Wishing you all cheer with your morning cuppa...
